Category Ransomware

Wormhole Ransomware is a type of malware that infects computers by encrypting files and demanding a ransom for their release. It typically spreads through phishing emails or malicious websites, where unsuspecting users are tricked into downloading and executing the ransomware on their system. Once infected, Wormhole Ransomware adds a specific file extension to encrypted files, making them inaccessible to the user without the decryption key. The ransomware uses strong encryption algorithms to lock down files, making it nearly impossible to decrypt them without the key. A ransom note is usually created and displayed on the user's desktop, instructing them on how to pay the ransom in exchange for the decryption key. Unfortunately, there are currently no known decryption tools available for Wormhole Ransomware, making it crucial for users to have backup copies of their important files to prevent data loss in case of infection.
