Once the 'korvin0amber@cock.li' Ransomware has locked the victims away from their files, the 'korvin0amber@cock.li' Ransomware will demand a ransom payment from the victim, typically of several hundred dollars to be paid using Bitcoin or other digital currencies. The 'korvin0amber@cock.li' Ransomware attack marks the files it encrypts with the file extension '.amber,' added to the file's name. The 'korvin0amber@cock.li' Ransomware delivers its ransom note in a text file named 'FILES ENCRYPTED.txt' that is displayed on the infected computer's desktop. The following is the full text of the 'korvin0amber@cock.li' Ransomware ransom note:
'All your files have been encrypted!
All your files have been encrypted due to a security problem with your PC. If you want to restore them, write us to the e-mail korvin0amber@cock.li
Writer this ID in the title of your message: [random characters]
You will have to pay for decryption in Bitcoins. The price depends on how fast you write to us. After payment, we will send you the decryption tool that will decrypt all your files.'
Dealing with the 'korvin0amber@cock.li' Ransomware Attack
Once the 'korvin0amber@cock.li' Ransomware has encrypted the victim's files, they will no longer be recoverable without the decryption key, which the criminals hold in their possession. This is why the best way to ensure that you are protected from the 'korvin0amber@cock.li' Ransomware attacks is to have the means to restore any compromised data. Because of this, malware researchers strongly advise computer users to use a skilled security program that is fully up-to-date to prevent the 'korvin0amber@cock.li' Ransomware from being installed and have backup copies of their files stored on a safe location. Having file backups is the best protection against threats like the 'korvin0amber@cock.li' Ransomware because it removes any leverage the criminals have over the victim, making the entire 'korvin0amber@cock.li' Ransomware attack ineffective. Security software will not be capable of restoring affected files but can prevent the 'korvin0amber@cock.li' Ransomware from carrying out its attack in the first place.
