Razy 5.0 Ransomware

Razy 5.0 Ransomware

Razy 5.0 Ransomware was discovered some time ago by specialists focusing on the detection, research, and analysis of malware. This infection might seem to be slightly different if compared to other ransomware infections, including CryptoCat Ransomware, DevNightmare Ransomware, and Locklock Ransomware; however, it is not very true. Yes, Razy 5.0 Ransomware might have distinctive features, for example, it does not store the encryption key anywhere, but it also seeks to extort money like all the aforementioned threats. At the time of writing, it is impossible to pay money for cyber criminals who have developed Razy 5.0 Ransomware, so they will not be able to obtain money from users unless they fix the ransomware infection they have released. Researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com do not recommend transferring money cyber criminals require because users often do not get anything from cyber criminals. In other words, cyber criminals take money from them but do not give the decryption tool in exchange. Of course, purchasing the decryptor from cyber crooks might be the only way to decrypt files, but researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com still do not think that paying money for them is a good idea.

HDD Encrypt Ransomware

HDD Encrypt Ransomware

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.
