Is this a serious threat
Jemd Ransomware file-encrypting malware, more commonly known as ransomware, will encrypt your files. Infection may have serious consequences, as the files you can no longer access might be permanently damaged. Also it’s fairly easy to contaminate your system. Infection most often occurs via spam emails, infected ads or bogus downloads. Once the encryption process is complete, victims are asked for a ransom, which would supposedly lead to data decoding. How much is asked of you depends on the ransomware, the demands might be to pay $50 or a some thousands of dollars. Paying isn’t recommended, no matter how little you are asked to pay. There is nothing stopping criminals from just taking your money, without providing you a decoding utility. You can definitely encounter accounts of users not getting files back after payment, and that isn’t really surprising. This may easily reoccur, so instead of complying with the requests, think about investing into backup. We are certain you can find an option that matches your requirements as there are many to pick from. And if by accident you do have backup, just erase Jemd Ransomware and then proceed to file recovery. Malware like this is lurking everywhere, and contamination is likely to occur again, so you need to be ready for it. If you want to remain safe, you need to become familiar with likely threats and how to shield yourself.
