What is SEX3 ransomware?

SEX3 is a recently discovered ransomware program that belongs to the SATANA ransomware family. It operates in the same way as other ransomware programs: it encrypts all files on the computer and then demands money to decrypt them. In addition to this, SEX3 renames the infected files, giving them .SEX3 file extension. This is the origin of its name. It also changes the wallpaper, and, of course, leaves a ransom note.
The note, named “!satana!.txt”, can be read on the image above. Alternatively, keep reading for the summary.
Written in a somewhat confusing manner, the note was likely written by a non-native English speaker. The hacker is most likely from Russia, as evidenced by their e-mail: geraashurakovv@mail.ru
When it comes to the actual demands, SEX3 is completely unreasonable, expecting the victims to pay 0.5 BTC in ransom. Although cryptocurrency exchange prices always fluctuate, at the date of writing (November 2022) 0.5 BTC is equivalent to 8,300 US dollars.
Few people will consider paying this much for their data, so we’ve compiled a guide focused on alternative ways to remove SEX3 ransomware and decrypt .SEX3 files.
