The devious Nuke Ransomware strikes at the most vulnerable spot within your operating system: Your personal files. This threat does not encrypt some files sparing others. Instead, it encrypts every single file that it was programmed to encrypt.

Why are they considered sensitive? That is because they cannot be replaced, unless you have them backed up on online storage systems or external drives.
