Malware

Velso

Ransomware that appears to require manually installation (believed to be via RDP).

Velso is a Windows malware family.

Background

A ransomware family that seems to be deployed by hand rather than automatically, with RDP suspected as the delivery method. Once active, it encrypts a victim's files and appends the .velso extension to them.
