RanRans Ransomware
If RanRans Ransomware slithered in, the chances are that you executed the malicious launcher of this infection by opening a file attached to a misguiding spam email. At the time of research, this infection was not spreading very noticeably, but that does not mean that this would not change. Overall, it is unlikely that this threat will perform mass attacks because that is not what we see Hidden Tear ransomware doing. Other threats that belong to this family include Unikey Ransomware, SucyLocker Ransomware, and Kindest Ransomware, and while they might have been created by different parties, they all were created using the same open source code. ...

ReadIT Ransomware can slither onto your system without your notice and encrypt your major files in no time rendering them useless and inaccessible.

Aleta Ransomware
If you have discovered your .tmp, .rbs, .dll, .GRL, .msi, .bat, .bin, and some other files locked, this means that Aleta Ransomware is already inside your system, especially if those locked files have a new extension .[darkwaiderr@cock.li].aleta appended. It does that to get money from more easily. Not all the ransomware infections encrypt files to obtain money from computer users, but cyber criminals develop crypto-threats more often these days because they are well aware of the fact that more users are ready to pay money in return for the private key that can unlock personal data. ...

ForceLocker Ransomware
ForceLocker Ransomware can paralyze your operating system and encrypt your files. All of that is done in the hopes of pushing you into emailing cyber criminals and following the instructions presented via a response email. Once this infection slithers into your operating system – which it does silently – it starts the encryption process right away. The encryption is silent as well, and so you cannot stop it unless you identify the launcher file as a malicious threat. All in all, the encryption process is very quick, and it is unlikely that many victims have enough time to disable the threat. ...
