The 7ev3n-HONE$T ransomware encrypts and renames your files to R5A

A security researcher named Mosh has discovered a new variant of the 7ev3n Ransomware. The new version of the virus has rebranded itself as 7ev-HONE$T. This ransomware will encrypt your data and then ransom your files for approximately $400 USD in bitcoins. It is currently unknown how it is being distributed or what encryption type it uses. Unfortunately, there is no way to decrypt the files for free at this time. When it has finished encrypting your data it will rename your files to sequential numbers using the R5A extension.
