Fabiansomware is a new variant in the so-called Apocalypse Ransomware family that has been giving birth to at least half a dozen offspring since May, 2016, when it first emerged. If you find out that your computer has been hit by this ransomware, we may have good news for you. As a matter of fact, this is the kind of ransomware threat that can be hacked quite easily and malware hunters come out with the latest decryption tools soon after a new variant hits the web.

FSociety Ransomware is a threat that seems to be created by the fans of Mr. Robot, which is a popular TV show. Like other ransomware infections, this threat finds a way to enter the computer secretly and then it locks such personal files as music, pictures, documents, video, and other valuable files. It is very likely that it locks all these files to be able to get easy money from users. Even though FSociety Ransomware does not differ much from other ransomware infections the way it acts, e.g. BlackFeather Ransomware, HDD Encrypt Ransomware, and Petya Ransomware, it is still different in a sense that it does not work very well. For example, it has been found that it does not leave any message for the user. The only thing you will notice if this infection really enters your PC is that it is impossible to access the most important files. Also, they will have a different filename extension. As FSociety Ransomware does not create any message explaining what to do and what cyber criminals behind FSociety Ransomware expect from you, you will not be offered to buy the decryption tool either.

According to our research, HDD Encrypt Ransomware is very similar to Mischa Ransomware, Petya Ransomware, and SATANA Ransomware. All of these dangerous infections are capable of corrupting MBR (Master Boot Record) to lock your operating system. If the MBR is modified successfully, you will not be granted access no matter how many times you restart your PC. Instead, you will simply see a black screen with white text informing that your HDD was encrypted and that you can receive a decryption key by contacting cyber criminals via the provided email address. Additionally, an ID number is attached to this message, and this is how cyber criminals will identify you if you choose to contact them. If the ID did not exist, the decryption would be unlikely. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that a decryption key will be provided to you even if you have an ID. Learn more about this and how to delete HDD Encrypt Ransomware by reading the report.
