Having the right password has become such a hefty task. You are 100% correct at this. There should be more characters as default now. Could you share the reference where you read this?

If you Google "8 character passwords cracked in under 2.5 hours", you will find plenty of articles.

Web Browsing Practices / Re: Your Thoughts on Private Browsing
« Last post by josstall on August 22, 2019, 10:40:48 am »
I understand that the post is outdated but I have to vent this out. Private browsing is more important than what you think. We tend to search anything on the web regardless of its repercussions. But now it's high time because our searches are being used against us to create a profile which is used to target ads. Also, every ISP can check what we search.

Hi, i reseted m'y computer after the format ransomware infection. But what i want know is how To decrypt all my files encrypted. Do I must install spyhunter 5 and the stellar decryptor?
Thanks

Ps. Please excuse my english.

SpyHunter is an anti-malware tool, which will delete the files of the virus. I don't know what you mean by "resetting" - did you reinstall the operating system or? Most malware viruses of this kind are persistent so even with a reinstall can remain on your computer. You should scan your system for viruses in any case, to make sure your computer is clean.

Stellar Data Recovery restores deleted files. This ransomware is believed to encrypt the files without deleting them first, so it might not help you. Just wait a few weeks and see if the article is updated with a decryptor (Usually it takes a few weeks for a decryptor to be released):

Gaming Malware / Re: PUBG Ransomware Wants You to Play "Player Unknown Battlegrounds"
« Last post by Execute on August 05, 2019, 06:44:50 pm »
If nothing has happened by now, your files and computer are most probably okay. I can think of a keylogger that can collect passwords, but I don't think there are such distributed with this ransomware. Anyway, it depends where you downloaded the game from. If it was from a website you trust, then you should be okay, but if you downloaded from PirateBay or some unofficial mirror you should scan your PC and registry for viruses (malware).

In this day and age, I wouldn't risk it with a cracked version.
I am not sure but I think the mobile version is free, which you can make be displayed on your PC and use a keyboard.

Best Regards,

A new cryptovirus calling itself PUBG Ransomware demands that you play the video game "Player Unknown Battlegrounds" for 7 hours.
That is not needed as the program will unlock your files almost immediately after you begin playing.
There are other ways with which you can unlock your files, one of them being the unlock code "s2acxx56a2sae5fjh5k2gb5s2e".

If you got your files unlocked, you should scan your computer with a security software,
to make sure that the PC is clean and protected from the ransomware, as well as other malware threats.

If you are having trouble with this ransomware, stumble upon a new version of it or have questions, simply write below.


Oh, this is weird to know, but thank you so much, but what if I am been playing using cracked version of it, for my PC?
