Guide To
Remove Litar Ransomware
A new addition to the family of
infamous STOP (DJVU) Ransomware has been spotted by the cyber-security analysts
recently. It has been named as Litar Ransomware as it appends a .litar extension to the file names
after encrypting them.
This newly discovered data-locking
infection has impacted a large number of systems across the world so far. Some
of the confirmed victims of Litar have been found in Argentina.
Upon infecting the system, Litar
Ransomware employs RSA & AES cryptographies, encrypts the files &
renders them inaccessible to the user.
The methods used by the hackers for
the proliferation of Litar Ransomware are still not known. However it is
speculated that creators may be using some common spread techniques such as
spam e-mail attachments & bogus software updates.
