The LongTermMemoryLoss Ransomware is a project that is still undergoing development, and if we are lucky, we might never get to say that a fully weaponized version of this threat is being distributed online. The LongTermMemoryLoss Ransomware is meant to work as a traditional file-encryption Trojan, which locks the data of its victims and then offers to restore access to it in exchange for money. The current state of the LongTermMemoryLoss Ransomware is quite questionable, and the application might not always work as expected. Crashes might occur on some systems so that the threat might not be able to complete its attack and cause the maximum amount of damage to the victim's files.

Tests performed with the LongTermMemoryLoss Ransomware show that this threat is programmed to add the '.LTML' extension to the files it locks. Instead of leaving a file with a ransom message, the LongTermMemoryLoss Ransomware spawns a new program window titled 'ATTENTION!' but it is empty completely currently. The lack of instructions for the victim is likely to mean that the LongTermMemoryLoss Ransomware is still not complete so that it is almost certain that you will not come across this threat in the wild.

Keep in mind that if your files get taken hostage by a working variant of the LongTermMemoryLoss Ransomware in the future, then you should not agree to send any money to the perpetrators. Don't forget that ransomware attacks are anonymous so that there's nothing stopping the cybercrooks from accepting your money and then abandoning you.

The best thing to do if your files were taken hostage by a file-encryption Trojan that is not decryptable is to use a credible anti-malware software suite that will eliminate all corrupted files immediately. When you accomplish this task, you should proceed to search for 3rd-party file restoration utilities, which could help you recover some of the damaged files.
