What is Litra Ransomware?
Litra Ransomware is a new cryptovirus that is similar to the Dodger cryptovirus that we described earlier. If you find that your files have the .litra extension, then you need to remove Litra Ransomware cryptovirus. It encrypts user data using the AES algorithm and then requires a ransom, the amount of which varies from $100 to $350. The activity of this virus was recorded in late June, early July 2019. The cryptovirus creates a note, or rather a lock screen, which contains information about the methods of redemption.
All of your personal files including documents, pictures, texts and other sensitive data are encrypted.
