This particular version of Ransomware programs, .b10cked Ransomware Virus, can render most of your commonly used files inaccessible by placing a strong encryption on them, and after that – extort money from you. More info about what you can expect from this Ransomware is available below.
Features of .b10cked Ransomware Virus
This ransom-requiring virus can infiltrate your device in several ways (the most regularly exploited of which we are going to talk about here). What’s more, it normally creates a list with the data you tend to access or use in any way; and following that encrypts all these files in order to make you unable to access them ever again. The malicious versions that can encode data fall into the file-encrypting Ransomware subtype and so does .b10cked Ransomware Virus. There are several different Ransomware types, which you might find while surfing the web. The primary aim of this article is informative, and as a result – we are going to describe these types and you are going to learn more about what to expect from them:
– Ransomware, which infects mobile devices – Ransomware can infiltrate tablets and phones. Basically, no portable device is safe. This malware can greatly disturb you by making you unable to access the screens of the affected devices. Actually, what blocks a particular device’s display is the ransom alert that states you are supposed to pay a ransom for getting it removed and being able to use your icons again.
– Ransomware, blocking computer and laptop screens – Such viruses do resemble the mobile-targeting Ransomware. The consequences are similar, just the target devices are different. In this case your desktop PCs and laptops are the targets. Their screens get covered with very big ransom notifications which make you completely incapable of accessing them.
How does such a terrifying infection take place?
There might be plenty of methods, used for spreading these hazardous viruses. To catch .b10cked Ransomware Virus (as well as any other malicious program) is more than possible in case you:
- Load dangerous emails or download their suspicious attachments: This is a very common manner of distributing Ransomware on the web.

It is likely that these two viruses could come bundled from such a source as the contaminated spam emails you might receive.
- Click on fake system requests: Such malicious programs may come automatically if you follow shadyupdate or other system requests. You might receive such alerts as pop-ups from websites, which contain malware. As soon as you click on such a request, your device will get infected.
- Use some video/movie/torrent/software-sharing websites, most of which are illegal: Try to only only use trustworthy pages. Stay away from downloading software in an illegal way. By doing so you are very likely to come across many malware sources. What’s more, avoid any suspicious torrents as they could be contagious as well.
An essential reminder: Ransomware is such a dangerous threat as all the things on the web might be containing it. There is no film, webpage, torrent, or piece of software you could really afford to wholeheartedly trust.
