A new ransomware was discovered today by MalwareHunterTeam called LLTP Ransomware or LLTP Locker that is targeting Spanish speaking victims. On a closer look, this ransomware appears to be a rewritten version of the VenusLocker ransomware.

In summary, the LLTP Ransomware has the ability to work in online or offline mode. So regardless of whether there is a connection to the Internet, the ransomware will still encrypt a victim's files. Furthermore, unlike most ransomware, this family assigns different extensions to encrypted files based upon the file's original extension.

Unfortunately, at this time there is no way to decrypt this ransomware for free. For those who wish to discuss this ransomware or ask questions regarding it, you can use our VenusLocker Help & Support topic.
