Emsisoft Decrypter for OzozaLocker

Emsisoft Decrypter for OzozaLocker is a lightweight piece of software designed to help you recover photos, videos, documents and other files that are hijacked by OzozaLocker ransomware.

Signs of an infection with OzozaLocker ransomware

OzozaLocker works in a similar manner to most ransomware out there, meaning that victims are likely to get infected by downloading and accessing attachments from unsolicited emails. Since the executable file is concealed to resemble a PDF file, most users are tempted to open and view the content.
Unfortunately, once accessed, the virus begins to modify the Windows registry keys associated with the startup and encrypts various files on the computer using the AES standard. While the LOCKED extension on the infected files may not tell you much, you can confirm that you are dealing with OzozaLocker from the ransom note.
It is worth mentioning that the note does not come with a lot of information, but rather states that you need to pay 1 Bitcoin by contacting the hackers at the specified email address.

Drop the files over the tool to recover them

It is worth mentioning that you need to have a clean copy of the hijacked file, an aspect that can be quite a predicament if you do not usually make backups for your data. Then again, you can look in your cloud storage, emails or even access the shadow copy to retrieve a clean file.
Once you have both files, you can drag and drop them over the utility and the tool provides you with the decryption key. To avoid any inconveniences, you should make sure that the files you use have a minimum size of 510 bytes, as otherwise, the tool does not work.
