VERY IMPORTANT

Akira ransomware, similar to other types of ransomware, spreads within a corporate network and targets multiple devices once it gains access. However, before encrypting files, the ransomware avoids certain folders, including Recycle Bin, System Volume Information, Boot, ProgramData, and Windows, as well as specific Windows system files with .exe, .lnk, .dll, .msi, and .sys extensions.
