FilesLocker-Christmas Ransomware

skynet45@tutanota.com Ransomware
If an extension with skynet45@cock.li email address marked most of your files, you probably encountered a threat we call skynet45@tutanota.com Ransomware.

Biger@x-mail.pro Ransomware
Biger@x-mail.pro Ransomware is a new malicious application from Cryakl Ransomware family. It encrypts user’s files to make them useless and then leaves a message asking to contact the people behind the threat via their provided email. The message is rather short, and it does not explain how the user will be able to decrypt his files after writing to the malware’s developers. Our guess is the cybercriminals will offer decryption tools and ask for a ransom in return. Needless to say, if you do not want to fund cybercriminals or risk losing your money in vain, you should pay no attention to the shown ransom note. Instead, we recommend erasing Biger@x-mail.pro Ransomware with the deletion steps located at the end of the article or with a reliable security tool of your preferences. ...

In other words, despite what the malicious application’s developers say there are no guarantees and sadly, refunds. Consequently, we advise thinking twice before making a rash decision. ...
