Trojan.Encoder.41868 is an encoder trojan/ransomware family identified by Doctor Web as one of the more commonly encountered file-encrypting threats affecting users in late 2025 through Q2 2026. It was repeatedly listed among the top encoder trojans seen in user decryption requests, including Q4 2025, Q1 2026, and Q2 2026. In Q4 2025, Doctor Web reported it accounted for 4.21% of user decryption requests, behind Trojan.Encoder.35534. The provided content also states that artifacts indicate the hacker group C77L was involved in its creation. Beyond its classification as an encoder trojan that affects users’ files, the content does not provide further high-confidence technical details on encryption behavior, infection vector, targeted sectors, platforms, or specific indicators of compromise.
