HELP! My files were encrypted by Globe Imposter ransomware, I believe. Now all of them have an extra file extension – .crypt, which goes after the original one. I have also found a note – called how_to_back_files.html. I remember opening an email attachment – ZIP archive, which contained another file. I believe the ransomware attacked me then. Is there a way to restore the encrypted data? I need to work on it. Please, help.

Yes, it seems that you were attacked by Globe Imposter ransomware. The variant that you mentioned emerged recently, and it acts just as you described - it adds .crypt file extensions, drops how_to_back_files.html ransom notes, and spreads via mail spam in the form of malicious ZIP attachments with JS files in them. Although we cannot guarantee this, it might be possible to recover your files. We suggest trying data recovery options provided in the full article about Globe Imposter ransomware.
Do not forget that before trying to recover encrypted data, you must remove the ransomware first.
