Were your personal files corrupted by GNS Ransomware? If they were, you should be unable to read them, and that is because the ransomware encrypts them. What does that mean? To understand it more simply, you can think of passwords. If you password-protect a file or a folder, that file/folder gets encrypted. The purpose is to ensure that only you – or whoever else has the password – can access it. Well, when cybercriminals use encryption, they lock files so that you could no longer access them. What is the purpose of that? The attackers hope that if you need a decryptor, they could convince you to pay for one. Due to this, they corrupt the most sensitive files – your personal files. Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely that cybercriminals would give you a decryptor regardless of what you did. Due to this, we suggest focusing on the removal. Do you know how to delete GNS Ransomware? Read more »

Receiving the Wannacry666 Ransomware could cause many problems as the malware could encrypt files that you might be unable to replace, such as photos, important documents, videos, etc. Files that become encrypted can be restored, as instead of being damaged, they get locked.

We advise not to make any rash decisions because paying the ransom does not guarantee that you will get the needed decryption means. If you want to know why and learn more details about this threat, you should read the rest of this article.
