It is not known how the JSWorm 2.0 Ransomware is being distributed, but victims have been spotted from South Africa, Italy, France, Turkey, Iran, Vietnam, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, and the U.S.A.
Once infected, JSWorm 2.0 will encrypt a computer's files and append the .JSWORM extension to the file's names. For example, if a file called test.jpg was encrypted, it would be renamed to test.jpg.JSWORM.
