Hello @akc3416

This is Wacatac or DeathRansom Ransomware

The first version, it seems, did not encrypt the files - several researchers of the first option reported this.
But in newer versions, like your case, the files are already encrypted.

This is a new ransomware and it is being researched.
There is hope for recovering some types of files. But so far there is no evidence to which I can give a link.

Encrypted files and ransom notes need to be saved, it is possible that in the future there will be a decryptor.

I recommend keeping an eye on BleepingComputer's news feed, as they usually report when new decrypters are available, that way you'll know if a decrypter is released for this ransomware:
