A CERBER file is a file encrypted by Cerber ransomware, a virus used by cybercriminals to hijack a user's computer files. It contains a user's personal file, such as a .DOC, .JPG, or .MP3 file, encrypted with AES-265 and RSA methods.

Ostrzeżenie
FileInfo.com recommends you never pay a ransom to decrypt files encrypted by ransomware. Paying a ransom encourages ransomware distributors to continue their efforts, and there is no guarantee that paying a ransom will give you access to your files. Instead, you should restore your data from a recent backup created before the ransomware infected your computer.
