Ransom Note _readme.txt
Qqqe virus developers demand victims to pay a ransom of $490 in the first three days or $980 after 72 hours. Cybercriminals offer to buy out a personal ID key to decrypt all data. It is strongly recommended not to pay any money because it can cause much bigger problems. Some victim goes against the law, risking contacting the offender via mail helpteam@mail.ch or restoremanager@airmail.cc. It gives an opportunity to be fooled for a more significant loss. Cybercriminals can decrypt just one file as proof to get a money transfer from the victim for the rest files. Any collaboration leads to a much deeper problem.
