How to unlock my computer from a hack without paying?

[Swa]

Legitimately this is how most Ransomware shops work. They will unlock your devices if you pay. Otherwise people just never pay and then their business model gets hurt. The whole thing is kind of ironic but it seems there is honour amongst thieves.

Kidnappings as well. Professionals will return the person and try to ensure the transaction goes smoothly otherwise their business model collapses.

Extortion as well.
Increase living costs beyond the level that anyone can live a normal life. Until the money train crashes and a whole country goes down the drain.

Ransomware shops.

It has been reported on already (sorry, no link). Once you part with your money/crypto, you're on your own.
