Decrypme Ransomware
Decrypme Ransomware might not be the hottest ransomware infection on the block, but it is still a considerable system security threat that should be taken seriously. This program comes from the MedusaLocker Ransomware group, and our team says that the two programs are almost identical. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean that we can use the same decryption methods on both applications, and so we need to come up with ways to restore our files. If possible, the best way to recover your files is to restore them from a file backup, which is what you should do once you remove Decrypme Ransomware for good. ...
Mbed Ransomware
You might not understand what has happened when Mbed Ransomware invades your operating system, but soon after, you should discover that your personal files cannot be opened/read normally, and that is because the data within is encrypted. The process of encryption, as you might know already, is generally used to protect data against intruders, but in this case, intruders are locking personal files to ensure that their owners cannot access them. Cybercriminals are not interested in accessing your personal files, but they do not care if you ever get to access them yourself. ...
Cyborg Ransomware
An extension called .petra placed on your files might mean you got tricked into launching a malicious application named Cyborg Ransomware. If it is true, files that have this extension should be encrypted with a strong encryption algorithm. It is essential to know that the only way to get your data back without putting up with hackers’ demands and risking your money is by replacing encrypted files with backup copies. To learn more about this, we encourage you to read the rest of our report. Also, if you are looking for instructions that would help you to remove Cyborg Ransomware manually, you could use the steps located at the end of this article. ...
Dharma-Ninja Ransomware
Dharma-Ninja Ransomware could be on your system if your files are marked with a strange extension that ends with “.ninja.” This malicious application was designed to encrypt data that could be precious to its owner. By encrypting it, the hackers behind the malware take your files as hostages. Their ransom note should state that the only way to unlock them is to use unique decryption software. Also, the note should say that the size of a ransom depends on how fast a victim contacts the hackers. It is crucial to understand that cybercriminals may promise many things, but there are no guarantees they will hold on to their end of the deal. ...
VIRUS Ransomware
If VIRUS Ransomware attacks your operating system and your personal files, you should start seeing the “.id-{unique code}.[amandacerny89@aol.com].VIRUS” extension everywhere you look. This extension should be added to your photos, documents, and various other kinds of personal files. Unfortunately, this extension signifies that your personal files cannot be read, and that is because they were encrypted. The dangerous ransomware can do that using a unique algorithm, and it was not yet deciphered at the time of research. It is possible that it will not be deciphered at all. ...
AIR Ransomware
You might invite AIR Ransomware into your Windows operating system by opening malicious email attachments or downloading unreliable files offered on suspicious websites. Unfortunately, cybercriminals are smart, and they know the tricks that can help them fool gullible Windows users into letting malware in. Once inside the system, the ransomware effectively hides itself by changing the location. So, even if you realize that the file you downloaded was not what you expected it to be, you might have a hard time locating and removing it. ...
InnfiRAT
InnfiRAT is a malicious application with backdoor capabilities. It means that hackers behind this malware might be able to access an infected device repeatedly. Moreover, our specialists say that its creators should be able to send the threat commands or tasks they want to be performed remotely. Therefore, the malicious application was classified as a RAT (Remote Access Trojan). If you want to know more about what such a threat might be able to do to a system, we invite you to read the rest of our report. As usual, the last paragraph talks about the malware’s deletion, and if you take a look at the guide located below it, you should find step by step instructions, which explain how it might be possible to get rid of InnfiRAT manually. ...
Nakw Ransomware
If you take Windows security for granted, you might face Nakw Ransomware or any other malicious infection designed to look for flaws and backdoors using which it could slither in unnoticed. When Nakw slithers in, it encrypts files, which means that a special algorithm is employed to change the data within the files. Normally, this is used to lock the files and make them accessible to their creators only. However, cybercriminals have found a way to encrypt files to make them inaccessible to the creators. This is done so that the attackers could demand money from their victims. ...
Marcher
Marcher has been silent for a couple of years, but knowing it took time for its creators to release its newer versions in the past, we believe there is a chance the Trojan could still make a comeback. The first time cybersecurity experts discovered it was back in 2013. Afterward, three new upgrades showed up in 2016 and 2017. Each new version had the same capabilities as the first one but brought further improvements. As a result, the malicious application became more and more sophisticated. Thus, it was able to do a lot of damage to users and organizations with Android devices that the malware was targeted at right from the start. ...
Dishwasher Ransomware
You do not need to panic if Dishwasher Ransomware slithers into your operating system because that will not be the end of the world, but, unfortunately, this infection can really leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth. If it invades the system and encrypts files successfully, these files will be unreadable, and it is unknown whether or not you will be able to ever restore them. According to our malware experts, just like Hakbit Ransomware, Nols Ransomware, Sorryforthis Ransomware, Kiss Ransomware, Ccryptor Ransomware, and many other threats alike, it can employ a complex encryption algorithm, and that means that decrypting the files manually is unlikely to be possible. ...
