Locky ransomware affected file
File type: Ransomware encrypted file
Files with odin file extension may be since September 2016 encountered as renamed and encrypted files affected by the Locky ransomware.
File type category:
Ransomware encrypted file
Date updated: November 16, 2017
File extension odin is since September 2016 used as a new suffix for the Locky ransomware that previously used zepto and locky extensions.
Much like previous variants of Locky, also this version is distributed through WS, JS, etc email attachments attached to emails (spams).
Should the user execute the scripts from the attachment, an encrypted DLL installer will be downloaded and launched through Windows' Rundl32.exe.
Unfortunately, there is no decryptor for .odin files available.
The only way to convert the original data would be to recover the files first.
