Unlock Ransomware
Summary
The Unlock Ransomware is a threatening program whose purpose is to encrypt files on infected computers and subsequently demand a ransom in exchange for a decryption key. Each victim of this ransomware threat becomes assigned an individual ID, while the extension “.unlock” is added to every affected file. The Unlock Ransomware instructs its victims to contact the cyber crooks within 72 hours; otherwise, the ransom amount will increase, or some extracted content will be published on the Web. A reasonable option is to remove the Unlock Ransomware with a reputable anti-malware program, while the locked files can only be recovered from a backup. The Unlock Ransomware’s ransom note states the following: “/!\ YOUR COMPANY NETWORK HAS BEEN PENETRATED /!\ ALL YOUR IMPORTANT FILES HAVE BEEN ENCRYPTED!
