Karlosdecrypt@outlook.com Ransomware might be a unique infection, but it is not original. It comes from the Crysis/Dharma family of malware that encrypts files and demands money in turn for allegedly real decryption tools. A few other threats from this family are Backdata@qq.com Ransomware, Bestdecoding@cock.li Ransomware, and Helpfilerestore@india.com Ransomware. As you can see, unique email addresses are included in the names, and that is because these email addresses are the only thing that changes from one Crysis ransomware to the next. They are represented via the identical ransom notes that all of these threats display after they are executed and after they successfully encrypt files. Unfortunately, this malware can actually encrypt files, and once that is done, recovery is impossible. Without a doubt, this is the malware you want to avoid at all cost, and, if you still can, we suggest taking ALL security measures to keep it away. If the infection got in, and you need to delete it already, act quickly. You can learn how to remove Karlosdecrypt@outlook.com Ransomware by reading this report. Read more »

Jupstb Ransomware is quite a threat. It enters the operating system silently, and then it demands the victim to contact them via provided email addresses. The goal here is to make you communicate with the attacker so that they could push you to pay money to get your files decrypted. This, most likely, is exactly what you want, but you need to think carefully if that is a good idea. If you want our opinion, Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers strongly recommend NOT paying the ransom. In fact, it is best if you do NOT interact with the attackers in the first place. Unfortunately, this malware can hit the most personal and valuable files, and you might be willing to do whatever it takes to recover them. If these files matter that much, it is possible that you have them backed up outside the infected machine. In that case, quickly remove Jupstb Ransomware from your operating system and secure it to ensure that you do not need to face and delete other threats in the future. If you do not have backups, your files are likely lost already. Read more »

Idiot Ransomware is a threat that can ruin various personal files located on the infected device.

Therefore, it looks like the reason for creating the malicious application could be discord between some gamers. It is difficult to say how many users could be infected, but if you are one of them, we advise you to read the rest of our text.

Eq Ransomware is a dangerous infection that might invade your Windows operating system if you do not secure it appropriately.

EnyBeny Ransomware is a version of EnybenyCrypt Ransomware. Its older versions could encrypt data or even delete files later on, but it looks like this version is not yet fully developed.

Still, we do not say it is entirely impossible. In case you do encounter this version of EnyBeny Ransomware, we advise removing it with no hesitation. The instructions available below should help you get rid of it manually, and if you wish to know more details about the threat, we invite you to keep reading our article. Read more »
