Infected with AlldataLocker Ransomware? Need to decrypt your files?
What is AlldataLocker Ransomware
AlldataLocker is another crypto extortionist from the zip-7zip-rar family, developed by Indian intruders. The most widespread was in September this year. Like other analogs, AlldataLocker uses the AES encryption algorithm, but in addition, the virus packs files into the archive and changes the file extension to .Lock. AlldataLocker encrypts user files of various formats, such as png, jpg, rar, pdf, doc(x), xls, and other files. As a consequence, the files become unusable for further use. The virus creates the note how to unlock your files.txt, containing information about the buyback:
