What is LV ransomware

LV ransomware (also known as 0nzo8yk ransomware) is a modified version of another ransomware program, REvil. The ultimate goal of any ransomware virus is to generate money for the cybercriminals. This is done via ransom – LV (as well as every other ransomware program) encrypts the victim’s data and demands a payment to decrypt them.
LV’s ransom note is called “EDGEWATER-README.txt”, which you can read on the image above. One thing is absent from this note, and that is price. The price varies depending on the profile of the victim, so the hackers are using their Tor website to communicate this information (see example). This is important because it means that LV most likely focuses on a small number of valuable targets such as companies. This does not rule out the possibility of private individuals being targeted with LV – they could be targeting both.
Either way, this guide will show you how to remove LV ransomware from your computer, and will give you tips on how to decrypt .0nzo8yk files.
