Let's band together and fix this stubborn ransomware. It uses RSA-2048 encryption and a good friend of mine needs help getting it off of his parents' PC.
oh and by good friend I don't mean good friend at all, he's just an awesome acquaintance
install gentoo
>lets break RSA-2048, guys!!!!
Sure thing

it's not me with the shitty windows virus it's someone I know
>>59623787
wipe it and install a linux distro
the person/s operating said computor is/are too stoopid to run windows
>if they had to hammer a nail into a pile of dung, they'd brake the hammer, the nail or the dungpile
or maybe even manage to get themselves killed

pretty sure no one on /g/ had this virus cause we have an iq of at least 65

Meh what do they have to lose? Some shitty pictures of cats?
Just nuke the drive and tell them to buy a Mac or install Xubuntu for them if they can't afford Apple.

op if you paypal me 100 bitcoin and an uncensored version of the screenshot I can contact the developers and trick them into unlocking the computer

Assuming there are no holes in the implementation (there probably aren't, it's not massively complex) there is no way to break this without a supercomputer (several really). You just better hope somebody releases the key at some point.

the difficult we do today
the impossible takes a little longer
>>59623711
they're fucked. unbreakable encryption.
if the keys are leaked

Tell your fuccboi your not the super hacker you portrayed yourself as, and just nuke and reinstall.

It's highly unlikely this can be decrypted. What you can do is disconnect the HDD and keep it somewhere until some security company releases a decryptor of some sort.
To avoid future fuckups, keep a regular data backup and employ common sense.

That's easy though. Just remove it and restore data from backup.
