How Does It Work?

This virus works by encrypting the all the files on a hard drive and makes the users unable to access them.

In order to get the free keys, you don't only have to pay the ransom to get your files back, but also infect two other people, explained Lawrence Abrams (cyber crime expert).

The risk doesn’t end here only. You may lose your files if you are failed to key the decryption code correctly. If you are not so much technically savvy, then you need to get a reliable technical support.

The things may get even worse if there is an unfinished code in the ransomware, which indicates that you have entered the wrong description key 4 times and the ransomware will start deleting files.
