Remove Lampar ransomware (File Recovery Instruction)

Tips to delete Lampar ransomware from OS

Lampar ransomware is file encrypting virus that belongs to Scarab ransomware family. This virus is mainly designed to encrypt stored files and demand payment in Bitcoin and even more from each victim. During encryption, it renames the file using random characters or replaced with .lampar extension. Soon after the ransomware delivers a message on the screen “DECRYPT.TXT” that states about the possibilities to recover the files.

The ransomware encrypts the file using strong cryptographic algorithm and makes such files totally useless. In order to receive the instructions on how to decrypt files users are instructed to contact cyber criminals through the given below email address. Users are also encouraged to contact them as soon as possible otherwise files stored on remote server will be permanently deleted.

The cost of key is not specified generally it depends upon victims how fast they contact to the cyber criminals. To believe user that decryption key is working they offer users free decryption test of 1-2 encrypted files. Despite all such information, users are also warned not to rename encrypted files using third party software as it may results into permanent data loss.

For the above mentioned reasons it is ill advised not to pay money and even contact cyber criminals who are behind Lampar ransomware. Their main intention is to cheat you by demanding huge amount of ransom. Mostly, they don’t provide original decryption key even after complete payment is done. The money you pay is worthless and encrypted files still remain useless.
