The ransom note, named RESTORE_FILES.txt, says that devices are encrypted in protest of the seizure of Crimea and because Western countries are not doing enough to help Ukraine in their war against Russia.
The wiper takes its name from the Ukrainian Azov Regiment, a controversial military force that allegedly associated with neo-Nazi ideology in the past.
Uh huh, like Hitler was "allegedly" a Nazi.

lmao
When a lib is sucking off a nazi, the most efficient action to take is a swift upwards strike to the jaw
The eagerness with which libs have defended Nazis during this war is some serious blackpill shit. Azov laughed about "fooling" western liberals, but I think that's less likely than the libs deliberately carrying water for them.
They get angry at westerners for not acknowledging them, but yeah, they're "in the past" and "allegedly"
Not like this country has marches to honor SS units or anything
Or almost literally anyone else on the internet. IS there any evidence it was actually released by Azov or anyone else working for or on behalf of Ukraine?
Infect my PC with ransomware and now I can't access photos of my family which bring me happiness, thanks Azov, now I'm really going to support Ukraine and neo-naizs!

also the text file of the old version is quite a trip

anyone want to translate the latin at the bottom?
Doesn't look like latin to me. Classical latin doesn't have the letter Z for one thing, and "am" is not a word I'm familiar with
e: I think it might be auto-translated from another language, and the rest of the message makes me think it's magicky woo woo. the only potentially latin words there are der, fictus, and spiritus.
ya, it certainly reads like something that's been fed thru a translator or 3
Simply putting Azov in the name doesn't mean it's associated with Azov.
Is there any actual evidence this is from Azov or anyone related to Ukraine? The name doesn't mean anything.
