Specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have come across a new HiddenTear-based ransomware infection Jhash Ransomware recently. It is a nasty threat that has been developed by cyber criminals to obtain money from users more easily, so it will not miss a chance to encrypt your files and demand a ransom if it ever manages to slither onto your computer. The chances are high that this infection has already infiltrated your computer if you find it impossible to open your pictures, documents, videos, and other valuable files in a bunch of different directories. The majority of crypto-threats encrypt users’ personal files, but you can be sure that Jhash Ransomware is the one you have encountered if those files you can no longer access have .locky, the filename extension, appended. What should be your next move? You must delete the ransomware infection from your computer right away after discovering this threat. Your files will stay as they are, i.e. encrypted, but you should still not send a cent to malicious software developers because you will just encourage them to release more threats by doing that.

Teamo Ransomware is a new danger to your files if this malicious program manages to sneak onto your computer. This ransomware program mainly targets your default media directories to encrypt your personal files. This also means that if you keep your personal files in other folders, you could be saved this time. Still, it is always good to have a backup of your files stored on a portable drive or in cloud storage. Usually, such a backup is your only chance to recover your files after having been hit by such a dangerous ransomware program. This new threat seems to target mainly Spanish speakers; at least, its ransom note being in Spanish leads us to this assumption. Our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com say that it is important that you remove Teamo Ransomware immediately if you want to restore your computer. Please note that this does not mean that your encrypted files will be recovered. It is quite possible that you will lose those if you do not have a backup that you could use now to transfer back onto your hard disk. Read more »
