Emails used to deliver malware contain attachments or links. Most ransomware variants are distributed through Trojans, emails, unreliable sources for downloading software, fake software updaters, or cracking tools (installers for cracked software). More ransomware examples are Robin, Rivd, and Mallox. Victims cannot restore files for free unless they have a data backup or a free decryption tool is available on the Internet. The main purpose of ransomware is to block access to files (to decrypt them) provide contact, payment and other information regarding data recovery.
Malware of this type could encrypt more files and (or) infect other computers connected to a local network. It is also recommended to remove ransomware as soon as possible. However, it is not recommended to pay them a ransom - paying a ransom does not guarantee that the attackers will send a decryption tool (there is a high chance of getting scammed). Typically, threat actors behind ransomware attacks are the only ones who can help victims to decrypt files. It also includes the email address and a Discord username that can be used to contact the attackers. The file contains a Bitcoin wallet address that can be used to pay for that key. Screenshot of a message encouraging users to pay a ransom to decrypt their compromised data:Īs written in the "read_it.txt" file, it is impossible to restore access to files without a key that can be purchased for one Bitcoin. The text file that Rozbeh creates is a ransom note. For example, it renames " 1.jpg" to " 1.jpg.7ufr", " 2.jpg" to " 2.jpg.1ytu".
It renames files by appending four random characters as the file extension. Rozbeh ransomware (also known as R.Ransomware) is malware that encrypts files, changes their filenames, and creates the " read_it.txt" file.
