Remove Mpag Ransomware

Mpag Ransomware is yet another new version of the STOP/Djvu Ransomware. Its source code has been altered only a little, and the core functionality of the malware remains the same. It has the ability to execute a swift and destructive file-encryption attack that leaves the victim's files in an encrypted state. This means that they cannot be read, edited, or restored. The only way to undo the damage is to use a specialized decryptor combined with the unique decryption key that the Mpag Ransomware generates for each victim. However, this piece of data is not obtainable – it is stored on the servers of the attackers.

You can recognize the files damaged by the malware because of the '.mpag' extension it adds to their names. Also, victims will find the '_readme.txt' message on their desktop. It contains a note from the attackers, describing the attack, and their offer. Allegedly, Mpag Ransomware's operators are willing to unlock 1-2 files for free. They are also offering a full decryption at the cost of $490, but threaten to increase the amount if you do not comply immediately. Victims of the Mpag Ransomware should not accept the offer, because it would be easy to get scammed by the hackers. Instead, it is best to use an up-to-date security tool to dispose of the Mpag Ransomware, and then explore alternative data recovery opportunities. Keep in mind that a sure recovery is only possible by restoring your files from a recent backup of your data.
