[email protected] Ransomware

The cybercriminals behind the B2DR Ransomware appear to have been active in the past few days and malware researchers have already had to deal with B2DR variants such as the [email protected] Ransomware and the ‘[email protected] File Extension’ Ransomware. The latest addition to the collection of file-encryption Trojans based on the B2DR project is called the [email protected] Ransomware and, unfortunately, it also appears to be impossible to decrypt via free tools.

Victims who wish to protect their files from the [email protected] Ransomware are advised to be extra careful when browsing low-quality websites, as well as when reviewing unexpected e-mail messages that contain a file attachment or an outbound link. Spam e-mail is one of the most popular ways to propagate malware, and learning how to spot fraudulent e-mails is one of the best ways to improve your chances of dodging cyber threats like the [email protected] Ransomware significantly.

Users who don’t take the necessary security measures and fall victim to the [email protected] Ransomware’s attack are likely to end up in a very difficult situation. Tests with this file-locker show that it is meant to encrypt a long list of file formats, therefore ensuring that its attacks will cause significant damage and increase the chance that the victim will opt to pay a ransom fee. When the [email protected] Ransomware completes its attack, it will leave the victim with a hard drive full of encrypted files that will also have their names changed to include the ‘[email protected]’ extension. The last part of the attack brings the ransom note which is delivered via the file ‘Readme.txt.’ It reveals that the attackers demand a ransom payment in exchange for decryption software, and they state that victims can get in touch with them by messaging either [email protected] or [email protected].

Unfortunately, the only surefire way to recover all files locked by the [email protected] Ransomware is to use an unharmed data backup. However, many users don’t bother to back up their important data, and they are the ones who are proneto suffer the most from threats like the [email protected] Ransomware. If you do not have a backup of your files and you are wondering how to recover from the [email protected] Ransomware’s attack, then we assure you that collaborating with the perpetrators is not a good idea. They might scam you out of your money, and you should not forget the fact that they have failed to provide any proof that they own a decryption tool. The advice is to get rid of the [email protected] Ransomware with the help of a trustworthy anti-virus scanner, and then look for alternative file recovery techniques.
