The Victims of the '.stun File Extension' Ransomware can Be Stunned by Its Work
The '.stun File Extension' Ransomware encrypts the victim's files using a strong encryption algorithm and also deletes the System Restore Points and other data that could be used to restore the data encrypted by the '.stun File Extension' Ransomware attack. The '.stun File Extension' Ransomware connects to its Command and Control servers and relays information about the attack, as well as the decryption key, making it impossible for the victim to restore the data encrypted by the '.stun File Extension' Ransomware attack. The '.stun File Extension' Ransomware targets the user-generated files in its attack, which may include a wide variety of media files, databases, configuration files and numerous other data containers. The '.stun File Extension' Ransomware, as well as other ransomware Trojans, will have as their targets the files below:

The '.stun File Extension' Ransomware uses the AES and RSA encryptions to make the victim's files inaccessible. The '.stun File Extension' Ransomware attack makes the damaged files easy to recognize because the '.stun File Extension' Ransomware will add the file extension '.stun' to the affected files' names. It is also common for the '.stun File Extension' Ransomware to add a contact email address to the affected files' names as well as an ID number or string of alphanumerical characters.
Dealing with the '.stun File Extension' Ransomware Trojan
If your device has been compromised by the '.stun File Extension' Ransomware attack, malware researchers strongly advise computer users restoring any encrypted data from a backup copy. It is crucial to refrain from contacting the criminals responsible for the attack or paying any ransom to avoid further problems. It is not probable that the criminals will help the victims of the '.stun File Extension' Ransomware attack recover their data after a '.stun File Extension' Ransomware attack, and paying these ransoms allows the criminals to continue financing these attacks. Malware researchers advise computer users to use a security program to prevent threats like the '.stun File Extension' Ransomware from being installed.
