L00KUPRU Ransomware is a type of malicious software that infects computers by encrypting files and then demanding a ransom in exchange for the decryption key. It typically spreads through malicious email attachments, fake software updates, or compromised websites.
When L00KUPRU Ransomware infects a computer, it adds the .l00kupru file extension to encrypted files. It uses advanced encryption algorithms such as AES or RSA to lock the files, making them inaccessible without the decryption key.
The ransomware creates a ransom note usually named “HOW-TO-DECRYPT-FILES.txt” or similar, which is placed on the desktop or in folders containing encrypted files. The note contains instructions on how to pay the ransom and receive the decryption key.
As of now, there are no known decryption tools available for L00KUPRU Ransomware. However, it is not recommended to pay the ransom as there is no guarantee that the cybercriminals will provide the decryption key or that it will work properly.
If your files have been encrypted by L00KUPRU Ransomware, you can try to restore them from backups if you have them. You can also try using third-party data recovery tools, although there is no guarantee of success. It is important to regularly backup your files to prevent data loss in case of a ransomware attack.
