Malware analysts at anti-spyware-101.com have recently spotted a new ransomware infection based on HiddenTear. It has been given the name Eylamo Ransomware. Since it is a brand new crypto-threat, it has not infected many computers yet. Of course, the situation may dramatically change soon. Since this threat usually enters users’ computers illegally, it takes time for them to realize that this malicious application is inside their systems. In most cases, they find out about this after discovering a number of files encrypted. The version of Eylamo Ransomware tested by our specialists encrypts files located on Desktop and in the pictures library only; however, if you cannot access more files and they contain a filename extension .lamo, there is no doubt that Eylamo Ransomware is the one that should be blamed for locking them. Ransomware-type infections lock users’ files with the intention of getting money from them, so do not be surprised when you find a .txt file with a ransom note on your Desktop too. Do not pay cyber criminals a cent no matter how badly you need to get your files back because it is unclear whether you will get them unlocked. On most occasions, cyber criminals do not see a point of decrypting files when they already have money in their hands. In some cases, they do not even have the private key that can unlock files, so they cannot give it to users either. Read more »
