LLQQ Ransomware

The LLQQ Ransomware is a Trojan whose main task is to encrypt its victims' most important files and make them inaccessible. A ransomware attack may cause devastating consequences for its victims. However, computer users can avoid these attacks easily by protecting their machines with trustworthy anti-malware software. Another very effective security measure is to keep offline or cloud backups of their data. Having an updated backup they can restore their files in case of a ransomware attack.

The LLQQ Ransomware will prevent its victims from accessing their files so that it can ask for a ransom to help its victims supposedly to decrypt their data. The LLQQ Ransomware is one more member of the STOP/Djvu Ransomware family and its ransom note is the same other members of that family present to their victims:

Infected users are asked to pay $980 as a ransom or $490 if they contact the attackers in the first 72 hours after the attack. They also provide two email addresses to be contacted and, to prove that they have a working decryption key, they allow victims to send one file to be decrypted for free. However, they can simply get the ransom money and disappear. Therefore, the ransom payment should not be an option. The best to do is to remove the LLQQ Ransomware with a competent anti-malware tool and find alternative decryption methods.
