**BKRansomware** is a simplistic Vietnamese ransomware that displays a ransom note demanding a Viettel mobile top-up to 0963210438, targets specific file extensions (.txt, .cpp, .docx, .bmp, .doc, .pdf, .jpg, .pptx, .png, .c, .py, .sql), appends the .hainhc extension, and merely ROT23-encodes file content instead of truly encrypting it; a debug path indicates Visual Studio-based development, and an update suggests the sample may have been used for testing, with references to associated keyloggers.
