What is a WLU File Type?

The WLU file is used by a variant of the Jaff ransomware. The purpose of the virus is to take your files hostage and force you to pay the perpetrator (by way of bitcoin) to unlock your files. The virus is primarily distributed through emails masking as invoices with a malicious .PDF attachment. If you open the attachment, you will encounter a prompt to open an embedded .DOCM file, which downloads the Jaff ransomware and executes it. Once the virus affects your computer it begins scrambling your files, renaming them, and encrypting them. It appends the WLU extension on to the file extension. For example, your example.pub file becomes example.pub.wlu. The virus then generates a README_TO_DECRYPT .TXT, .BMP, and .HTML ransom note files informing you of the takeover and what you need to do to decrypt your files.

There are currently no programs to decrypt your files efficiently. If you save your files you can perform a complete restoration of the system. Otherwise the only known way to decrypt your infected files is to pay the author for the private key and decrypt the program.
