Osiris Ransomware Description :- 

Osiris Ransomware is a new face of the Locky ransomware which named after an Egyptian god.

First of all,  Osiris Ransomware was discovered on December 05, 2016 which appears to be an improved version and capable of bypassing the detection of several anti-virus programs.

It acts like a traditional ransomware which secretly invades into the PC and silently set itself up to the victim’s PC and starts to snoop the entire PC to targeted various file types. To encrypt the user’s stored files, it uses strong encryption algorithm using AES-128 and RSA-2048 encryption ciphers. It appends .osiris file extension at the end of the file and loses the original file name because it replaces with a set of symbols [8 symbols]–[4 symbols]–[4 symbols]–[8 random symbols]–[12 random symbols]. The first 16 symbols represent the ID of victim’s.

On completion of the encryption process, it adds a ransom note entitled as OSIRIS-9b28.html to each folder of the desktop. The note explains user that decryption is possible only with a special decryption key. To purchase the decryption key, you have to install Tor browser and visit a payment site. It just like the previous version of Locky ransomware which suggests buying the Locky Decryptor by paying 0.5-4 BTC. Do you know what is BTC? It is a virtual currency that demands almost all ransomware. But you should not pay the ransom amount because it only created to steal money and your confidential data. Rather than paying off ransom amount, you need to get rid of  Osiris Ransomware.
