What is Jager Ransomware?
Jager is a type of malware that encrypts your files and demands a ransom to decrypt them. You should remove Jager Ransomware from your computer as soon as possible because it is a serious threat. Jager Ransomware is not a virus, but it can infect your computer with viruses or other malware if you are not careful. Attackers spread Jager through email attachments, websites that offer free downloads, and infected advertising on websites. They can also spread this ransomware through social media messages and posts. Jager will encrypt your files with a strong encryption algorithm, making them impossible to open without the decryption key. Jager Ransomware will then display a ransom note on your computer, demanding payment to decrypt your files.
What encryption algorithm does Jager Ransomware use?
Jager uses the AES-256 encryption algorithm to encrypt your files. This is a very strong encryption algorithm, and it is very unlikely that you will be able to decrypt your files without the decryption key.
What types of files does Jager encrypt?
Jager will encrypt most types of files on your computer, including documents, photos, videos, and more. After Jager Ransomware encrypts your files, they will have the .jager extension added to them. For example, a file named “sample.jpg” would be renamed to “sample.jpg.jager”.
It is important to note that Jager will also encrypt backup files and shadow copies, so you will not be able to restore your files from a backup.
