Hpe Ilo Ransomware is a malicious file-encrypting application. What is unique about it is that it only attacks hard drives accessed via HPE iLO 4 (HPE Integrated Lights-Out) server system. This is why our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com doubt the application is widely spread. It is more likely the malicious program could be encountered only by some carefully picked victims and their work computers. We suspect this could be true as the malware might display a ransom note mentioning the user would have to pay 2 BTC for decryption. Currently, it is a bit less than thirteen thousand US dollars if you convert the sum. It is a considerable price, especially when often cybercriminals ask users to pay smaller amounts of money. After all, not everyone can afford spending thousands of dollars just for decrypting a few encrypted photos or other files alike. Usually, we advise users not to put up with any demands because there is always a possibility the hackers do not have the promised tools or may not bother delivering them. Thus, it seems smarter to ignore the ransom note and delete the threat. For more information about Hpe Ilo Ransomware we encourage you to read the rest of this article. Read more »
