TeslaWare Ransomware is a malicious threat that employs AES encryption algorithm to lock its targeted files. The hackers behind the malware give their victims seven days to pay a ransom of 0.425 BTC that is approximately one thousand euros, although it is uncertain if this is the real price since the infection’s window suggests the victim should transfer only 300 euros. Strangely, the accounts for transferring the money are different in the ransom note and the malicious application’s window too. Under such circumstances, we urge you not to risk your money as it is unclear what the correct price is and where it should be transferred. Not to mention, there are no guarantees TeslaWare Ransomware’s creators will not scam you and provide the decryption key. Consequently, we would encourage users to refuse to pay the ransom and get rid of the threat as soon as possible. To help you handle this task, we are placing removal instructions just below the report. Read more »
