Hermes666 Ransomware

Your files do not stand a chance if Hermes666 Ransomware slithers into your operating system. This malicious threat is a file-encryptor, and as soon as it invades your system, it starts corrupting your personal files, including documents, videos, photos, and music files. If you have these files backed up, you do not need to worry about losing anything, but if backups do not exist, you might end up losing everything. That is because it is not possible to decrypt files manually. Even if you delete Hermes666 Ransomware successfully, the files will not get restored magically. That is because you need to change the data of the files back to normal to make them readable again, and that is impossible to do without the decryptor. At the time of research, a third-party decryptor that could restore the files did not exist, and so you need to be extremely careful about installing such software. If you have done it already, and the files remain encrypted, remove the suspicious software immediately. Read more »
