AdamLocker Ransomware Data Recovery

AdamLocker Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts your files and demands a ransom to decrypt them. It primarily targets businesses, but can also target home users. 

AdamLocker virus is typically spread through email attachments or via malicious websites. Attackers can also spread it through removable media, such as USB drives. 

Once AdamLocker Ransomware is installed on your computer, it will scan your hard drive for certain file types. These files include: Documents, Spreadsheets, Databases, Photos, Videos, and more.

History 

AdamLocker Ransomware was first seen in the wild in early 2019. It is a member of the STOP/DJVU ransomware family, which is one of the most common families of ransomware. 

How does AdamLocker Ransomware work?

AdamLocker Ransomware works by encrypting your files with a strong encryption algorithm. This makes it very difficult to decrypt your files without the encryption key. Once your files are encrypted, you will not be able to access them. AdamLocker Ransomware will then display a ransom note that demands a payment to decrypt your files. 

AdamLocker Ransomware will also delete your shadow copies, which are backups of your files that are created by Windows. This makes it more difficult to recover your files without paying the ransom. 

Protection

There is no guaranteed way to protect against AdamLocker Ransomware. However, there are some steps you can take to reduce your risk:

-Back up your files regularly. This will allow you to recover your files if they are encrypted by AdamLocker Ransomware.

-Keep your anti-virus software up to date. Anti-virus software may detect AdamLocker Ransomware.

-Be careful when opening email attachments. They may spread AdamLocker Ransomware via email attachments.

It has infected me with AdamLocker Ransomware. What should I do?

If it has infected you with AdamLocker virus, the best thing to do is to restore your files from a backup. If you don’t have a backup, you may be able to use a ransomware decryption tool. However, there is no guarantee that these tools will work. 

The only way to get the encryption key is to pay the ransom. We do not recommend paying the ransom, as this will only encourage the criminals to continue their activities.

Public decryption tool

There is no public decryption tool available for AdamLocker Ransomware at this time. However, you may be able to find a private decryption tool. These tools are usually only available to law enforcement or security companies.
