And you will get a ransom note left by LDHY Ransomware in every folder of your files. It will let you know that you could pay ransom fees to exchange for the decryption key. And LDHY Ransomware has collaborated the websites for bitcoins which are the main currency in the darknet. It ask victims to buy some bitcoins to pay for the decryption key so that there is no way to track the hacker.

We firmly suggest that you should not buy decryption key from the hacker. Many victims have been scammed by hacker before for similar ransomware. You get no any guarantee when you pay the ransom fees. Moreover, hacker will be funded to make more ransomware if you pay them. And then your files can be re-infected sooner or later by new ransomware.

You should first get rid of LDHY Ransomware from computer and then consider to recover the files with legitimate decryption tools.
