The WinRarer ransomware locks all your files with the help of WinRar.
It places the files in a single .ace archive that is password protected.

There is a rumor spreading around the Web, that the ransomware can infect a PC when a user downloads a "crack" or "torrent" for a game, like Battlefield 1. That is of course if users seek a pirated copy of the game.

Usually that happens with games that have Denuvo protection. In other words - they are very hard to cracked, even months after the release of a game - everything that is presented as a "crack" or "torrent" might be fake (and probably delivers ransomware as the case here). Besides, pirating games is illegal and shouldn't be endorsed.
