I'm not raging, I laughed out loud when you made your first post with a smiley face trying to appear smart and knowledgeable. Then you proceeded to tell us, IT security professionals linked to in the third post and the hackers who made this that it's a "half hearted attempt" and "not done right", despite not knowing anything about the subject matter, at all. Then you go on to show that you don't know what an encryption is and speculate it's a "BS scare" despite the very clear signs that it's not (the third link in the thread being one of them, again...)
Tell me, how much of ransomware is actually legit? Also, I said nothing about solving the problem of encripted files, just that the locker should be relatively easy to get rid off.
The thing is it might as well be that the locker is just either holding them up, as in through process, instead of actually encrypting them. If it indeed does encrypt, there is no other way of fixing that than just performing point restore.
And then you finish with "there must be some way of getting rid of that thing for sure." Very convincing coming from someone who has no clue what he's talking about, it's like a monkey doing calculus. Also, what a change of tone from your first "assured and confident hacker specialist " posts.
I did not say I am anything the sort. I encountered something similar, but since I have practically no personal data I need on the pc, I have managed to get rid of it fairly easily with some registry tampering.
Good job nightmare, the door really does open if you kill the person who had the password.
Wordplay huh? Funny.
Well, this particular case *might* be all bullshit so I'd try accessing the files first, but I suppose latvian already tried that obviously.
Well, the most important thing is what happened when he did.
