Hachiman Screenlocker

The Hachiman malware falls into the screen locker category. It lacks the encryption functionality of fully-fledged ransomware threats and, instead, tries to prevent users from accessing their computers by blocking the screen of the device. As such, victims of Hachiman Screenlocker should remember that their data is still intact, and removing the threat will restore their full access to the files.

The window used by Hachiman to block the system, states that victims have 15 hours to pay the demanded ransom. After that period has passed, the data stored on the device will supposedly be published on the Internet and made available to the public. The note also states that to remove the screen lock, victims must purchase a key from the attackers. The price of the key is set at 0.0107 BTC or around $415 at the current price of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency.

Instead of messaging the provided email at 'hachiman@cock.li' or sending any amount of money to the wallet address of the attackers, victims of Hachiman Screenlocker should try the following key to unlock their systems:

JHA7236-HACHIMAN-37JHAl924-JFHACHI

Keep in mind that this exact key may no longer be valid, as the hackers could change the required input at any moment.

The entire set of instructions displayed by Hachiman Screenlocker is:
