Should You Pay the Ransom:

And therefore, you are strongly denied from establishing contact with the criminals or making any sort of payment to them under any circumstance. Sometimes, scammers provide rogue software to the users in the name of decryption tool which only harms the machine badly upon getting installed. And hence, never consider dealing with the hackers and try to remove Redl ransomware from the machine badly as early as possible.
