14 de junio de 2016
A new ransomware called Apocalypse was recently discovered by security researchers at Emsisoft. According to their findings, the ransomware encrypts data, appends the .encrypted extension to them and then requires the victim to email the hacker for ransom instructions. For example, if Apocalypse encrypts a file called ‘test.jpg’, a ‘test.jpg.encrypted’ file and ‘test.jpg.encrypted.How_to_Decrypt.txt’ file will be created.
