What is CMLOCKER ransomware?
CMLOCKER is a malware program dedicated to making money via ransom. This subset of malware is called ransomware. Remarkably, CMLOCKER is similar to another ransomware program we’ve covered recently, ESCANOR. Perhaps a new ransomware family is about to emerge.
But this is something only cybersecurity researchers should concern themselves about. Here’s some information for your average user which will help identify this ransomware. CMLOCKER always changes the names of the files it encrypts, adding .CMLOCKER file extension. Its ransom note is called “HELP_DECRYPT_YOUR_FILES.txt”, and is located on the Desktop. You can read the full text of the note on the image above if you want, but to summarize, the hackers want 980 US dollars, paid in Bitcoin.
This is not the kind of money you’d want to throw away, and, unfortunately, paying doesn’t even guarantee that you will get your files back. Many hackers simply choose to ignore the victims once they receive the money. They’re criminals, after all; you can’t expect honorable behavior from them.
For this reason, paying the hackers or even contacting them is not recommended. Instead, you should consider alternative ways to remove CMLOCKER ransomware and decrypt .CMLOCKER files. The guide below will outline your options.
