Antoni Ransomware Seeks To Destroy Files on Infected PCs

Antoni Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts the files on a victim's computer and demands a ransom payment in exchange for a decryption key. This ransomware is distributed through various means, including malicious email attachments, fake software updates, and infected downloads from compromised websites.

What does Antoni Ransomware do to an infected computer?

Once Antoni Ransomware infects a computer, it will start to encrypt the victim's files using a strong encryption algorithm, making them inaccessible to the user. The encrypted files will have a new extension added to their original names, such as ".ANTONI".

After the encryption process is complete, Antoni Ransomware will display a ransom note on the victim's computer screen, informing them of the attack and demanding a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key. The ransom note may also contain threats to delete the encrypted files if the victim does not pay the ransom within a specific time frame.

The Antoni Ransomware ransom note reads like the following:

The attackers behind Antoni Ransomware typically demand payment in cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin, to make it difficult to trace the transaction. Victims are usually instructed to send the payment to a specific wallet address and then contact the attackers through a provided email address to receive the decryption key.

It is important to note that there is no guarantee that the attackers will provide the decryption key even if the ransom is paid. It is also possible for victims to recover their files without paying the ransom by restoring them from a backup or using data recovery software.

To protect against Antoni Ransomware and other types of malware, it is important to keep antivirus or anti-malware software up to date, avoid opening suspicious email attachments, and only download software from trusted sources. It is also crucial to regularly backup important files to an external storage device or cloud-based service to minimize the impact of a potential ransomware attack.
