Removing Ransomware – Cybersecop


The best way to remove Ransomware is by continuously backing up your data. With CybeSecOp, we make sure your data is backed up regularly, providing you with a bulletproof backup. Unfortunately, unless you have a bulletproof backup or are willing to pay the extortionist the ransom, your files will be unrecoverable. However, the malware itself can be removed using Malwarebytes and some other computer security tools.
Here are some different variations of ransomware:

CryptoLocker – Cryptolocker is a type of ransomware that tricks users to download or open the malware. It typically shows up as email attachments or hyperlinks on various webpages. The attachment or link either opens or saves the infected file onto the computer, potentially infecting the rest of the network. Learn more.

CryptoWall – After the original CryptoLocker, CryptoWall gained notoriety. It first started in 2014, and other variants started popping up, including: Cryptorbit, CryptoDefense, CryptoWall 2.0 and CryptoWall 3.0, among others. Like CryptoLocker, CryptoWall is distributed via email attachments and malicious hyperlinks.

KeRanger– According to ArsTechnica, KeRanger ransomware was recently discovered on a popular BitTorrent client. KeRanger is not widely distributed at this point, but it is worth noting because it is known as the first fully functioning ransomware designed to lock Mac OS X applications.

LOL! – The .LOL! virus allows the remote hacker to create, delete, rename, copy, and edit any file, alter system settings, change the registry, terminate programs, and install other various software. Using this virus, the attacker can retrieve anything from buying history to sensitive user credentials and bank account details. In other words, you don’t want the .LOL! virus on your computer.

OMG! – Although this ransomware works similarly to other variants, the authors of the OMG! virus offer to decrypt the files for free after one month of infection. Nevertheless, this is not a position you’d like to be in.

CTB-Locker – CTB-Locker approaches ransomware differently. These hackers would outsource the infection process to partners in exchange for a percentage of the profits. In large volumes of infections, this seemed to be a proven strategy.

Locky– Relatively new to the ransomware community, Locky spreads it’s infection through email attachments disguised as an invoice. When the invoice is opened, it becomes scrambled, forcing the user to enable macros to read the attachment. Once macros is enabled, Locky starts to encrypt the file using AES encryption.

TeslaCrypt– TeslaCrypt is another new type of ransomware on the scene. Like most of the other examples here, it uses an AES algorithm to encrypt files. It is typically distributed via the Angler exploit kit specifically attacking Adobe vulnerabilities. Once a vulnerability is exploited, TeslaCrypt installs itself in the Microsoft temp folder.

TorrentLocker– TorrentLocker is typically distributed through spam email campaigns and is geographically targeted, with email messages delivered to specific regions. TorrentLocker is often referred to as CryptoLocker, and it uses an AES algorithm to encrypt file types. In addition to encoding files, it also collects email addresses from the victim’s address book to spread malware beyond the initially infected computer/network—this is unique to TorrentLocker.

Wanna Cry– This recent ransomware hit thousands of hospitals and private companies around the globe in May of 2017. Hospitals were forced to turn away patients as they did not have access to their databases. This malware spread like wildfire and is estimated to have sent out about 5 million phishing emails per hour.
