What is ZeRy ransomware?
ZeRy is a malicious program that falls under the ransomware category. This means that it encrypts the files on the target computer and then demands money for their decryption. Additionally, files affected by this ransomware program get renamed; specifically, they receive .ZeRy file extension. This is how the virus got its name.
ZeRy belongs to the Xorist ransomware family. Many ransomware viruses in this family have ransom notes written in Russian, but ZeRy is not one of them. Its ransom note, written in plain and understandable English, can be read on the image above.
The short version is, the hackers want 0.05 Bitcoin, which is approximately $830 at the time of writing. However, as cryptocurrencies are highly unstable, this may no longer be accurate by the time you’re reading this. They also threaten to delete the decryption keys if not contacted within 5 days after infection.
You should know, however, that contacting these criminals is a risky affair, and paying them is even riskier. You may become a target for future attacks, and they might not even decrypt your files. The guide below will explain what other options you have to remove ZeRy ransomware and decrypt .ZeRy files.
