Hackerz Ransomware

The Hackerz Ransomware is a threatening piece of malware that has been around for over two years. The Hackerz Ransomware is still able to execute a devastating attack against poorly secured Android device, although it is not a very sophisticated project. The ransomware only works on the Android operating system and, surprisingly, its creators do not ask their victim to pay a ransom sum. Instead, they warn them that their files will be deleted after 24 hours, and prompt them to enter a username and password to stop the sequence – however, there is no contact details or instructions on how to obtain this information.

Allegedly, Hackerz Ransomware's 'file-destruction' feature is real, and users will start losing files after 24 hours. In addition to this, the ransomware is programmed to start wiping out data if the victim decides to restart their phone or tablet.

If your device has been infected by the Hackerz Ransomware, then you should proceed to salvage your files immediately by saving them to a computer or laptop. After this, you may need to hard reset your Android device to wipe out the Hackerz Ransomware completely. Last but not least, make sure to protect your smartphone or tablet with a contemporary anti-malware application, which can protect you from such attacks.
