New .Aesir File Extension - What Is It

Post by 1dunn0 »

If your files have changed names and the .aesir file extension changed, you most likely have been visited by this threat. The files are no longer openable and the virus wants payment in BitCoin to download a decryptor for the files. Here is more information and some alternative methods to try and restore at least a small portion of the files:
