Kerkoporta Ransomware
Kerkoporta Ransomware is a Greek ransomware that may slither onto your system and encrypt your files in order to extort money from you. This malware infection is supposed to lock your screen, too, however, the sample we tested did not seem like a finished threat so it did not lock the screen and did not encrypt files either. Of course, this does not mean that the version you have been infected with does not finish its dirty job entirely. If you are unlucky, you may lose all your personal files in this malicious attack. Hopefully though, you have a backup of your files that you can use now to restore your encrypted files. ...
