How does Virobot ransomware work?

From the report, we acquired that Virobot ransomware would check the presence of registry keys to determine if the system could be encrypted. If the keys are found, virobot ransomware will generate an encryption and decryption key through a cryptographic random number generator to proceed with encryption. After that, there will be a ransom note on the screen of the victim’s computer.
