In particular, various ransomware viruses not only threaten the privacy and security of users, but also bring problems to users. A huge threat to wealth, encrypting user folder data to force users to pay huge ransoms in order to recover the encrypted data. The mallxo ransomware virus is a cross-virus software that has been particularly active in recent years. This article will analyze some prevention methods of the mallxo ransomware virus and how to decrypt and recover after being infected by the mallxo ransomware virus, as a reference for everyone.
Features: mallxo ransomware usually spreads through web application vulnerabilities and can infect operating systems such as Windows and Linux. When a user is infected with the Mallox ransomware virus, it encrypts the user's files and changes the file extension to .mallox. After the encryption is completed, the virus displays a message to the user, asking the user to pay a certain amount of ransom in order to obtain the password to decrypt the files. If the user does not pay the ransom, the files will not be unlocked.
Invasion method:

6. Regularly train employees on network security to make employees aware of the dangers caused by network viruses.
Recovery plan:
1. Complete decryption. This can only be done by contacting the hacker. Only virus developers can achieve complete decryption.
2. Database decryption, contact the professional data decryption and recovery company data966, which can completely decrypt the database data based on the virus's operating vulnerabilities.
