What is Lumino_Ransom ransomware?
Lumino_Ransom ransomware, also known as Lumino ransomware, as well as Lumine ransomware, is a malicious program which encrypts all files on computers it infects. This is done for the purposes of earning money; the encrypted files cannot be accessed, but this process is reversible. So the hackers who encrypted the files can promise to return them, but only if you pay their fee. Since this is similar to having your files stolen, this class of viruses was named ransomware.
Files encrypted with Lumino_Ransom receive .lumino_locked file extension. Their previous extension is not lost; it simply becomes a part of the file name. So, for example, a file named “pic.jpg” would be renamed to “pic.jpg.lumino_locked”.
All ransomware programs leave a ransom note, but Lumino_Ransom is unusual in this regard. Most ransom notes are simple text files, but in this case, it is a pop-up window with the note appearing gradually, as if typed. You may read the full text of the note on the image above. The ransomware also creates four hundred empty files named “LumineN”, where N is a number from 1 to 400. The purpose of this action is unknown.
This guide will explain how to remove Lumino_Ransom ransomware and decrypt .lumino_locked files without paying or even contacting the hackers.
