Firstly, when the server is hijacked or extorted, the following situations may occur:

  1. Attackers may modify your system password.
    When you forcefully change your password and enter the system, relevant documents containing ransomware information will be placed on the desktop or other prominent places.
  2. Lock important information in your system, and to unlock it, you must follow their documentation.
  3. Ransomware messages are usually transmitted anonymously via telegraph.
    ......

The document content of the ransomware message is roughly as follows:
