Chinz Ransomware

Chinz Ransomware

Chinz Ransomware is a malicious application that belongs to the Phobos Ransomware family. Like most ransomware applications, it encrypts victims’ files with a robust encryption algorithm. As a result, files become unusable and cannot be opened unless they get decrypted. What is even worse is that it might be impossible to obtain the needed decryption tools. Usually, only the malware’s creators can provide decryption tools unless cybersecurity specialists manage to create them. While cybersecurity specialists offer them free of charge, hackers demand users to pay a ransom. Specialists warn that the prices might be high, and there are no guarantees that you will get the promised tools. Therefore, we advise you not to rush into anything before you learn more about this threat. We can offer our deletion instructions available at the end of this article for users who want to know how they could erase Chinz Ransomware manually. Read more »
