If Invincible Ransomware has invaded your computer, you might believe that your personal files are encrypted. That is not the case. At least, that was not the case when Anti-Spyware-101.com research team was testing and analyzing this infection. The research has revealed that the threat could potentially rewrite MBR to display a screen-locking window entitled “Ransomware InVincible” to represent the bogus ransom demands. This is how the infamous Petya Ransomware operates as well, and it looks like the creator of the ransomware we are analyzing has decided to replicate some features of well-known infections. Another infection that the ransomware has similarities with is the infamous WanaCry Ransomware (also known as Wana Decrypt0r Ransomware). The similarities can be discovered in the ransom notes that are used by the threats. On the left side, you are introduced to timers. At the top, you are greeted with the same message: “Ooops, your files have been encrypted!” At the bottom, you are shown almost identical payment details; except that the wannabe infection asks only 50 USD. Regardless of the sum, you should not pay it. You should delete Invincible Ransomware. Read more »
