AMBA Ransomware is a type of malware that is classified as ransomware and crypto-virus. AMBA is a virus that encrypts your files and demands a ransom for their decryption. AMBA uses strong encryption algorithms to encrypt the victim’s files, which makes them inaccessible. AMBA Ransomware leaves a ransom note behind after they completed the encryption process, which contains instructions on how to contact the attacker and make the payment. AMBA Ransomware demands a ransom to decrypt the victim’s files. If not dealt with properly, AMBA Ransomware can lead to permanent data loss, because AMBA is a serious malware infection. AMBA should be removed from the infected system as soon as possible.
AMBA Ransomware usually arrives on the victim’s system through email attachments or malicious websites. AMBA may also be distributed through exploit kits. Once AMBA Ransomware infects a system, it will scan the hard drive for certain types of files to encrypt.
