What is ‘Los Pollos Hermanos’ Crypto?
‘Los
Pollos Hermanos’ Crypto is a dangerous ransomware derived
from the notorious CryptoLocker family. This ransomware is same to other Crypto
viruses, such as Cryptowall, Cryptorbit, Critroni, or CTB Locker. Currently, the
users from Australia and possibly other countries are the main victims of this
Crypto Virus. According to researchers, Los Pollos Hermanos may access a PC in
the form of fake updates for Java, Flash Player, and Adobe Reader.
Once this cyber threat enters your system, your
files will be encrypted. Please note that this virus is capable of encrypting
videos, pictures, documents and other files that are kept on the infected computer.
As soon as it is installed on your computer, it starts asking to make a payment
demanding $450 AUD in exchange for decrypting the encrypted files. However, if
you fail to pay the ransom at the right time, it may increase the fee to $1000
AUD. You are recommended not to pay the fee because there is no guarantee that
you can decrypt your files. What you pay for the decryption will be the income
of the cyber criminals. So once you find your computer infected with ‘Los
Pollos Hermanos’ Crypto, please look for more details about it.
