Moreover, the behavior of Uncrypte Ransomware is not the very first example of low-quality ransomware threat which copies the style of “premium” ransomware virus to claim the credibility. The malware researchers from RMV have listed some of the noxious ransomware, such as “CryptConsole Ransomware” and “[email protected] Ransomware”, that was discovered in year 2016, uses the same tactic to fool the system users into thinking that they are infected with a Globe Ransomware.

Besides, the ransom notification delivered by this ransomware says that the infected computer users should make a BTC (Bitcoin) wallet in order to load 0.2 BTC (which is currently equal to ~ $201/190 EUR) and instruct them to transfer the wallet money to the developers of this ransomware. Although, the negotiations may be possible through the email address “[email protected]” which it provides on its ransom note, where the victimized PC users are directed to send the payment details.
