A1Lock Ransomware
A1Lock is a damaging computer infection which locks users out of their data and demands a ransom.

The encrypted information becomes inaccessible and is likely to remain such even if you pay the money demanded by the attackers. It is highly important that you disregard the requirement to pay a ransom, because nobody, including the schemers, can guarantee that you will regain access to your lost data. ...
The Malicious Ev Ransomware is Coming for WordPress

Despite the lack of information, it is obvious that this infection encrypts files to bring WP websites down and hold something hostage until money is paid. ...
