APT Ransomware has been discovered to be a malicious parasite that leverages the techniques in APT virus distribution that may be supported through Chinese government-supported threat intrusions. Much like other well-known threats that encrypt data on an infected PC, APT Ransomware can do such but never release the proper decryption key. The difference in APT Ransomware not making a decryption key available puts it in a category nearly on its own where its ransom demands are virtually useless and only serve to extort money from victimized computer users. Those who face APT Ransomware are left with the only option of removing the threat, which is done through the use of an antimalware resource or restoring their hard drive from a backup copy. In any case, it is best that APT Ransomware be eliminated the instant that it is noticed. Most times, APT Ransomware is spread through spam email attachments, which should be detected and blocked by use of a spam filter.
