POLICJA!!! Ransomware is a cryptovirus, in other words, an extortioner encrypting user files using AES algorithms. It attacks many user files (PDF files, office documents, archives, multimedia files and so on) and makes them unusable for further use, changing its extensions to .##___POLICJA!!!___TEN_PLIK_ZOSTA.
