PUBG Ransomware Decrypts Your Files If You Play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

in #pubg7 years ago

 Discovered by MalwareHunterTeam, when the PUBG Ransomware is launched it will encrypt a user's files and folders on the user's desktop and append the .PUBG extension to them. When it has finished encrypting the files, it will display a screen giving you two methods that you can use to decrypt the encrypted files.

That's terrible, but still amazing how far viruses/Ransomeware guys go... So does it only effect Desktop or does it effect all the files in the system?
