HCK Ransomware Removal Guide

HCK Ransomware is a malicious computer infection that will stop you from accessing your files. All your files will be encrypted, and the malicious infection will tell you that you have to pay a ransom fee if you want to get your files back. When you get infected with a ransomware program, the most important thing is to not panic. If you panic, you are bound to spend your money on something you don’t need, and there’s also no guarantee that the people behind this infection would actually issue the decryption key. Hence, you just need to focus on removing HCK Ransomware from your computer first.

According to our research team, HCK Ransomware is yet another infection from the Crysis Ransomware family. Thus, it should be similar to BOMBO Ransomware, ROGER Ransomware, SepSys Ransomware, and so on. Unfortunately, there is no public decryption tool available for this infection family, and it means that users have to rely on their file backups (provided they have them) if they want to restore their data. If you do not have a file backup, you probably need to go through all the other places where you could’ve saved your latest files. If you feel at a loss, you should also address a local professional.

Aside from maintaining a file backup, you should also learn more about ransomware distribution patterns. HCK Ransomware probably comes via spam email attachments, but it is very likely that the ransomware installer file might have arrived in software packages, and so on. The bottom line is that users download malware installers themselves without even realizing it. And if you find it hard to differentiate between spam emails and regular messages, there are still ways to stop HCK Ransomware from entering your system.

Although it might seem bothersome, please consider scanning all the received and downloaded files with a security tool before you open them. If something is odd about the file, you can remove it at once. Not to mention that investing in a powerful security application would also help you maintain your system’s security.

HCK Ransomware, on the other hand, will encrypt your files, and all the information sequences within your files will be scrambled with a powerful algorithm. With the information sequences scrambled, your system cannot read those files, and all your data will change their icons. It goes without saying that it is a very annoying and honestly frightening experience, especially if you store a lot of sensitive data on your system. However, please do not feel inclined to follow these instructions:

Don’t worry, you can return all your files!
If you want to restore them, follow this link: [link] YOUR ID [id]
If you have not been answered via the link within 12 hours, write us by e-mail: [e-mail]

Attention!

• Do not rename encrypted files.

• Do not try to decrypt your data using third party, it may cause permanent data loss.

• Decryption of your files with the help of third parties may cause increased price (they add their fee to our) or you can become a victim of a scam.

These instructions might seem daunting, but you should know better than to follow them because the criminals behind HCK Ransomware might just collect your money and run.

Although it would be better if you invested in a licensed security tool that will help you maintain your system’s safety.
