What is SkullLocker ransomware?
SkullLocker is a computer virus that became active several days ago. It operates under the ransomware model, which means that it encrypts the files on the infected computer and demands money to decrypt them. The virus also gives the encrypted files .skull file extension.
This is important for the purposes of identifying the ransomware. Another useful tool in this regard is the ransom note left by the virus. In SkullLocker’s case, it is called “read_it.txt”, and is written entirely in Polish. Read the translation below, or, assuming you know Polish, check the image above for the original text.
