Jopanaxye Ransomware is a type of malicious software that specifically targets computer systems to encrypt files, rendering them inaccessible to the user. It falls under the broader category of ransomware, which is known for its nefarious tactic of demanding a ransom in exchange for the decryption key. Once Jopanaxye infiltrates a system, it quickly scans for files and encrypts them, typically adding a distinctive .jopanaxye extension to the file names. This process effectively locks users out of their own data. The encryption method used by Jopanaxye is usually a complex algorithm, often a combination of AES and RSA encryption techniques, which are known for their robustness and are practically impossible to break without the unique decryption key.
