If your personal files were “locked” by LOCKED_PAY Ransomware, you might be thinking about following the instructions that were introduced to you by the creator of this infection. In fact, we do not really know if the attacker has also created the threat because it appears to have the code of the infamous Jigsaw Ransomware infection (just like Rodentia Ransomware, Bisquilla Ransomware, and other threats), and so it is possible that the attacker has simply used the code that was developed by the original creator. All in all, following the instructions by whoever is responsible for this malware is a bad idea. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers warn that you are likely to waste your savings by following the demands that are delivered using a window launched by the threat. So, what are you supposed to do? Hopefully, you have backups that can replace the corrupted files, but if that is the case, we suggest that you delete LOCKED_PAY Ransomware before you move on. Read more »

Skipped updated, carelessness when downloading new files/software, interaction with random ads and links, inability to make the distinction between legitimate emails and spam emails could all lead to the invasion of dangerous malware.

Note that cybercriminals can create misleading addresses, subject lines, messages, and attachments to trick you into thinking that the email is real and reliable. If you are tricked, the infection is executed, and the encryption of your personal files begins shortly. You cannot recover the files by deleting FTCODE Ransomware, but it is crucial that you remove this threat anyway, and the sooner you get to it, the better. Read more »
