Ransom Note
Greetings, Your data has been encrypted by Mesmerised Locker as part of a global attack using zero-day exploits. We understand this is stressful and will guide you on recovery. *What Happened:* *Encryption:* Your files are encrypted with ChaCha20, AES-256, and RSA-4096. These methods are used by governments for high-security data. More details: - ChaCha20: wikipedia.org/wiki/Salsa20 - AES-256: wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard - RSA-4096: wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem) *Data Theft:* We have also collected personal data, including messages and sensitive information. *Our Intentions:* *Decryption Offer:* We will decrypt 2-3 files for free to show we can restore your data. *Payment:* We ask for $50 or an equivalent item. This reflects the scale of our operation. *How to Proceed:* 1. *Contact Us:* Use session ID 050126e07b2964020ad7242a12a63a3476f22a3956877fd8a7f2d3a01bb1140759. Download the Session to contact us: getsession.org 2. *Payment:* After payment, we will provide the decryption key and instructions. Payment method discussed on contact *Consequences of Non-Compliance:* *Data Exposure:* If you do not comply, we will share your data with your contacts and possibly make it public. *Data Loss:* Using third-party tools may cause permanent data loss. Our encryption prevents recovery without our key. *System Integrity:* Resetting your PC with a bootable drive or cloud restore will not work. Our bootkits will just stay on your system. More on bootkits: wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootkit Even if you reset your PC, a remote access tool (RAT) and rootkit we installed will let us retain control. Learn more about rootkits: Rootkit: wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootkit *Scam Warning:* Beware of third-party services claiming they can decrypt your data. You can do you own research, it is impossible to decrypt ransomware. Once the payment is recieved the decryptor will be provided instantly. Sincerely, Mesmerised Locker Team
