What is Jigsaw Ransomware

Jigsaw, also known as Koolova, HiddenTear, Nice Jigsaw or CryptoHitman is a ransomware-type virus, which “distributed” since early 2016. At present moment we know about more than 60 versions of Jigsaw Ransomware. Written within the .NET Framework technology, this virus encrypts user data using AES-256 (sometimes RSA-2048) for the key and then demands a ransom for decrypted keys or for the decryption tool. Besides encryption of all documents, databases, photos and other files virus also creates a different file(s) with ransom demands. Ransom notes with different names, for example HOW TO RECOVER ENCRYPTED FILES.TXT, how-to-recover-encrypted-files-decryptsairmail.cc.txt or other have the following contains:
