According to the latest news, a virus that claims to be "Petya ransomware 2017" is actually Crypt888 ransomware virus. At this point, we have some good news for you. Petya is a considerably more sophisticated virus, and that is the reason why malware researchers cannot create a decryption tool. However, Crypt888 virus is a less complex virus, and although it has released several versions already, all of them appear to be easy-to-crack. Consequently, malware researchers have already discovered a tool that can decrypt files marked with Lock. prefix. More information about Crypt888 removal and data decryption techniques is provided in this article: Crypt888 ransomware. How to remove and restore your files? (Free Guide).
Good luck!
