How to remove Black Berserk Ransomware and decrypt .Black files

The note urges the victim to contact the attackers and states that the inaccessible files have been encrypted. Unfortunately, there are currently no decryption tools available for Black Berserk Ransomware. To prevent further encryption, the ransomware must be eliminated from the operating system.

It is highly recommended to keep backups in multiple different locations (e.g., remote servers, unplugged storage devices, etc.) to ensure data safety.
