Striked Ransomware is a nasty ransomware-type infection that encrypts files and the majority of programs right after the successful entrance. You can be sure that it is the one you have to blame for locking your files and programs if they all have a new extension consisting of an email address rap@mortalkombat.top and a unique ID appended to them, for example, picture.jpg#rap@mortalkombat.top#id#1398924752. Strangely, it does not demand a ransom after locking users’ files. Well, at least you will not find a single word about money in its ransom note. Of course, there is still a small possibility that you will be asked to transfer a certain amount of money in exchange for the decryption key when you contact cyber criminals. Do not even think about paying a ransom in this case because you might lose your money too for nothing. Although your files will not be automatically unlocked, you must delete Striked Ransomware as soon as possible so that you would not accidentally launch its malicious file again. Read more »
