Power Worm attacks the Word and Excel files without the user by encrypting them noticing. In theory, when then want to access that data, it is then obliged to pay the tidy sum of 700 euros to retrieve. But in its latest version, Power Worm literally destroyed a key that would decrypt the data. Therefore, it is totally impossible to access the contents of the encrypted files.

The researcher Lawrence Abrams, an expert in malware explains on the site Bleeping Computer that "there is unfortunately nothing that can be done for the victims of this infection. If you have been infected by this ransomware, your only option is to restore a backup of your data. "
