The Kangaroo Ransomware not only Encrypts your Data but tries to Lock you out of Windows

The Kangaroo ransomware is the latest version of the Apocalypse Ransomware. It uses a legal notice as a ransom note that is displayed to all victims before they login to their computer. This makes it so a victim has to view the ransom note before they are able to login to Windows. It essentially locks a user out of Windows until they pay the ransom or remove the infection. In order to gain access to the Windows desktop again, a victim will need to disable the Kangaroo executable from running.
