If your Windows operating system is not currently secured against malware, fix this problem ASAP because HAT Ransomware could invade through various different security cracks. Such cracks can be opened by spam emails, unpatched vulnerabilities, malvertising scams, unreliable downloaders, and so on. It does not take much for cybercriminals to find a victim, and if they are successful, all files found on the attacked system are encrypted. What does that entail? When files are encrypted, reading them normally is impossible. According to the researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com, a tool called ‘Rakhni Decryptor’ exists (created by ransomware researchers), but we cannot know for sure that you will be able to decrypt all of your files using it. Hopefully, that is the case, but even if you cannot recover files, you should not pay attention to the cybercriminals’ demands. Instead, you should focus on deleting HAT Ransomware. Read more »

You must protect your Windows operating system against Alpha865qqz Ransomware at all cost because if it manages to invade, it can encrypt everything. No, it does not encrypt system files, but that is only because the infection needs your operating system to function properly so that appropriate messages could be introduced to you. Other than that, all of your personal files can be corrupted, and that is done using an encryption key. This key is unique and strong, and so you cannot decipher the encrypted files yourself. Can third-party tools help? Free decryptor exist, but they cannot decipher secret keys. In some cases, cybersecurity experts are able to build free decryptors for the victims of ransomware, but that happens rarely, and that hasn’t happened for the Alpha865qqz infection yet. Unfortunately, files cannot be recovered by deleting Alpha865qqz Ransomware either. In fact, this malware should remove itself once it is done with the encryption of your personal files. Read more »

If you cannot recognize your files because their names were replaced with random titles and they have the .EG83 extension, you most likely encountered a malicious application called EG83 Ransomware. Such threats are usually used for money extortion, which is why the malware creates ransom notes in every directory that contains encrypted files and replaces a victim’s desktop picture with an image that also shows a ransom note. None of the messages say how much users would have to pay to get the tools needed for their files’ decryption. Whatever the price might be, we advise not to pay it if you do not want to risk getting scammed. To learn more about EG83 Ransomware like how it works, where it could come from, and how to erase it, we invite you to read the rest of this article. Read more »

Josephnull Ransomware is an infection that you are unlikely to notice upon entrance but are bound to face once the attackers want that. The infection works in several stages. First, it has to invade your operating system, and it might exploit existing RDP vulnerabilities, spam emails, or unreliable downloaders for that. If the system is not protected appropriately, the infection might be able to slither in without anyone’s notice. After that, it moves on to the second stage of the attack, during which it drops files, encrypts your personal files, and also deletes shadow volume copies. Finally, it reveals itself with the help of ransom note files, at which point it blatantly demands money. Hopefully, you have not been victimized by this malware yet, but if you have, you want to remove Josephnull Ransomware as soon as possible. That might not save your files, but your system will automatically become safer. We also share important tips that, hopefully, will help you keep your files and your operating system safe against ransomware in the future. Read more »

This malicious program will try to push you into paying the ransom fee for the decryption key that is supposed to unlock your data. We do understand that sometimes users feel like they have no other choice but to pay for the decryption. However, paying shouldn’t be an option as it would only help cybercriminals reach their goals.
