'.NWA File Extension' Ransomware

The '.NWA File Extension' Ransomware’s authors are experienced cybercriminals who use a harmful tool to encrypt the files of their victims and then extort them for money by offering to sell them a decryption tool. The name '.NWA File Extension' Ransomware is a working title and many AV creators may use the name NWA Ransomware too. The price of the decryptor for the '.NWA File Extension' Ransomware might be rather large so that we would not advise you to try to cooperate with the attackers. There are multiple reasons why cooperating with ransomware operators is a bad idea:

• You can never have a 100% reliable guarantee that they will stay true to their word and provide you with a decryptor.
• They demand payments via cryptocurrency (usually Bitcoin), and it would be impossible for you to track or reverse the payment in case they trick you.
• The funding they receive may be used to sponsor more sophisticated malware projects.

Users may be infected by the '.NWA File Extension' Ransomware when they download a harmful email attachment that has been disguised to look like a regular Microsoft Office document. Unfortunately, if the '.NWA File Extension' Ransomware was unleashed on your computer, there's not much to do – this threat needs mere minutes to complete the file-encryption task and leave its victim with a hard drive full of encrypted files. Whenever the '.NWA File Extension' Ransomware locks a file successfully, it may add the extension ‘.id-.[dr.crypt@aol.com].NWA’ to its name.

The victims are also provided with a ransom message, which explains the purpose of the attack and tells them that their files can be recovered as soon as they agree to send some Bitcoin to the wallet address of the '.NWA File Extension' Ransomware’s authors. It is not advised to trust the attackers and meet their demands, because there is nothing to stop the perpetrators from taking the money and leaving you empty-handed.

If you are a victim of the '.NWA File Extension' Ransomware, you should ignore the ransom note provided by the perpetrators, and trust credible PC security sources to guide you through the recovery process. The first and most important task that needs to be executed is to ensure the full removal of the '.NWA File Extension' Ransomware’s files by using a trustworthy anti-virus tool. When you do this, you will prevent the file-locker from causing more damage, and have the opportunity to try out alternative data recovery options.
