The cyber criminals who created Roga Ransomware seek to extort money from users while encrypting most valuable data and making impossible to access it. Currently, users might be asked to pay around 20 British Pounds; thus, compared to other similar malware the demanded ransom is not so huge.

In other words, even if you put up with the cyber criminal’s demands, you might still be unable to access enciphered data. Therefore, if you do not like the idea you could lose some money in addition to the malicious application’s affected files, we urge you to eliminate Roga Ransomware either with a reliable antimalware tool or by following the instructions located below the article.

Cryptorium Ransomware is a new infection that has been categorized as ransomware because it seeks to obtain money from computer users. Unlike older ransomware infections, it does not encrypt the users’ personal data even though the message left for users on the window opened by this threat says that all files are encrypted. Instead of encrypting users’ files stored on the computer, Cryptorium Ransomware changes their extensions. It means that files could not be opened unless their extensions are fixed, for example, vlc.png has to be changed to vlc.exe. Unfortunately, there are a number of users who believe that their files have been encrypted and decide to purchase a key (GBO KEY) to decrypt their files. At the time of writing, users cannot buy this key from cyber criminals because it is said that “all servers are down at the moment.” Because of this, it might be very true that this version of Cryptorium Ransomware is still in development and should not be actively spread. Of course, the situation might quickly change in the future, so when you read this article, this infection might already be very popular. Go to delete it ASAP! Read more »

Recuperadados@protonmail.com Ransomware can infiltrate your system without your noticing it after you click to run a file you have downloaded from a dangerous spam e-mail.
