Green_Ray Ransomware is a kind of hazardous ransomware virus which is designed by the criminal hackers in order to encrypt the victim's files and data by using asymmetric encryption algorithm.

The public key is generated for encrypting the files and data stored on the users computer and the private key is generated for decrypting the files that are encrypted by the Green_Ray Ransomware virus.

However, the desktop wallpaper states that the users files have been encrypted and that they must contact the provided email addresses to receive the further instructions. After contacting the developer of Green_Ray Ransomware virus i.e. criminal hackers, users will then supposedly receive a reply which stating that the victims must pay a ransom in order to exchange for the private key which is stored in the remote servers controlled by the cyber crooks. This kind of behavior is common for the ransomware threats.

Furthermore, the size of Green_Ray Ransomware is currently unknown and this information should be provided in the email reply.

Green_Ray Ransomware virus is most likely to be spread using the bogus software updates, infectious mail attachments, peer-to-peer networks and ransomware related trojans. For this reason, always be very cautious when downloading any programs or software from the third party sources and never open any attachments sent from the suspicious email addresses.
