The ransomware typically adds the “.2023lock” file extension to encrypted files, indicating that they have been locked by the ransomware. It uses a strong encryption algorithm to encrypt the files, making it difficult to decrypt them without the decryption key.
After encrypting the files, 2023lock Ransomware usually creates a ransom note on the desktop or in the folders containing the encrypted files. The ransom note typically contains instructions on how to pay the ransom in exchange for the decryption key.
As of now, there are no known decryption tools available for decrypting files encrypted by 2023lock Ransomware. However, it is recommended not to pay the ransom as there is no guarantee that the cybercriminals will provide the decryption key after payment.
If your files are encrypted by 2023lock Ransomware, you can try restoring them from backups if you have them. You can also try using data recovery software to recover some of the files, although there is no guarantee of success. It is important to regularly back up your files to prevent data loss in case of a ransomware attack.
