Ransomware masquerades as mobile version of Cyberpunk 2077

Kaspersky malware analyst Tatyana Shishkova discovered an Android ransomware masquerading as a mobile version of the Cyberpunk 2077 game. The game was being distributed from a fake website impersonating the legitimate Google Play Store. The CoderWare ransomware utilizes a hardcoded key, which means a decryptor can be made if necessary to recover files for free. This ransomware is the same as one discovered by MalwareHunterTeam in November that was disguised as a Windows Cyberpunk2077 installer.
