Makop ransomware is a relatively new malware that showed up in January. Currently, there are over 20 variants available, and your case could be related to any of them.
Once Makop virus encrypts files, it should drop a ransom note on the system. You should check the Desktop and folders where the files are located. Typically, the attackers provide makop@airmail.cc contact email, although we do not recommend doing that.
In some cases, ransomware developers might simply ignore you, even after you pay the ransom. Therefore, we recommend you first copy all your encrypted files to the USB flash or another external device, remove Makop ransomware with the help of these instructions, and then use alternative methods for data recovery.
Since Makop ransomware is a relatively new ransomware, there is a chance that security experts will find bugs in it and manage to create a decryption tool in the future; however, this might also never happen.
Good luck and stay safe online
