In fact, even third-party decryption software might be helpless against this threat. Although the ransom that this threat demands is not that big, paying it is risky because, after all, it was issued by cyber criminals, and it is unusual for them to help users in any way. In fact, many users dealing with ransomware infections warn that their payments are of no avail. Learn more about the risks associated with and the removal of BlackShades Crypter Ransomware within this report. Read more »
