Crypto Ransomware Attacks Soppy Users Demanding Money

Mon Feb 18, 2019 5:22 pm

Internet users have recently reported being provoked to open a phishing email containing crypto ransomware links. Cybercriminals used the ransomware program ‘GandCrab’ to encrypt victim’s data and requested a payout in Bitcoin or Dash for lifting a block from their files.

According to a report released by the Mimecast Threat Labs Team, criminals used GandCrab to encode user’s files. Victims of a cyber attack were sent emails containing romantic lines, namely ‘This is my love letter to you’, ‘Wrote my thoughts down about you’, ‘My letter just for you’ and ‘Felt in love with you.’

Wow, cool picture))) It's just not quite true, you might be a big business and get attacked and even hacked. The ransomware is rather inventive to hack any possible victims. So, just back up your essentials and reinforce your security...
Well, yeah, at St Valentine's Day the crooks readily entrap all kind of romantics :x
Fortunately, for GandCrab as mentioned in this post (all versions prior to 5.2 https://myspybot.com/gandcrab-5-2/ ) there seems to be a decryption tool (free) released by security enthusiasts https://myspybot.com/free-gandcrab-decryption-tool/
