Cry9 Ransomware is a dangerous threat that can cause serious financial damage to victims. You should remove Cry9 from your computer as soon as possible.

How does Cry9 infect your computer?

Cry9 Ransomware usually arrives on victims' computers disguised as a legitimate email attachment. Once the email is opened, the ransomware will automatically start encrypting files on the computer. The decryption key is only available to the cybercriminals who created the ransomware. Cry9 will display a ransom note on victims' computers that contains instructions on how to pay the ransom and decrypt the encrypted files.

What types of files does Cry9 encrypt?

Cry9 Ransomware will encrypt a wide variety of file types, including documents, images, videos, and more. The ransomware will add the ".cry9" extension to the end of each encrypted file.
