Cerber3 ransomware. How to remove .Cerber3 extension. Cerber3 decryptor. Cerber 3 malware.
Cerber3 ransomware is the latest Cerber development after .cerber2 extension. Previously Cerber was decrypted, however soon after the decryption tool was developed it stopped working due to cerber update. Now we see a constant change of extension. Once “.cerber” later “.cerber2” now “.cerber3” and may be the next will be “.cerber4”. The previous version of cerber was updated with some serious changes. Cerber was already a big name in the ransomware business and the new update will only make thing worse, unfotunatly. The previous version was using Microsoft API CryptGenRandom to generate the key and encrypt files. It is expected that Cerber3 will do same. What remains the same is that cerber3 will encrypt user files and demand ransom in return for decryption key.
Unfotunatly there is no solution for the victims of this virus and no way to decrypt files for free. The only way to recover is to pay the ransom fee, however this is not recommend. Remove the virus and look for other solutions.
It appears the ransom note is #HELP DECRYPT#.txt, “# HELP DECRYPT #.txt”, “# HELP DECRYPT #.html” and “# HELP DECRYPT #.url”. The ransom note background lock screen is the same as the previous version. It also appears that the cerber3 note is very long.
Some of the contents left by the ransom note #HELP DECRYPT#.txt file.
