Stare ransomware encryption process
Stare is a new type of ransomware viruses. It means that this program changes the structure of the definite files (encrypts) in order to make you pay for restoring these files. Injection of this virus always proceeds silently, without noticing. Hackers usually use malicious email attachments in order to spread this virus. When you open such an attachment, malicious code executes and your device become infected. It’s very easy to understand, that your device is infected, as after the searching process (it looks for the media files and documents) it encrypts your files. As the result, your files are unreadable and you can find that the extension of them changed to .stare. Don’t try to remove Stare encryption by yourself, otherwise your files can be damaged! The purpose of these attacks are not just lulz, hackers, as I have already mentioned, want to make you pay them, that’s why they usually left a ransom note. In our case this note is called _readme.txt and it contains the following information:
