Delete ‘[email protected]’ Ransomware and Restore Files

Initial Investigation on ‘[email protected]’ Ransomware

 

Globe Ransomware has released a new variant dubbed as ‘[email protected]’ Ransomware which is named after its official email found in the ransom message. Basically, it works as a data encrypting software. Security experts discovered this ransomware on February 19, 2017 that is identical to [email protected] ransomware. This ransomware has nothing new to offer, it works same as the old variants of the Globe Ransomware. Additionally, ‘[email protected]’ Ransomware is also delivered onto Windows computer using the traditional social engineering tactics like sending spam emails containing malicious documents as attachment to potential victims. This corrupted document file enables macro functionality and connect computer to remote location in order to install component of the ransomware.

If you daily work with Microsoft office applications like Excel, Word, Powerpoint then you should make sure that Macro functionality is disabled on your computer. At least, it will extent the execution of macro to trustworthy source only. As a result, you computer will be somehow safe from being compromised by ‘[email protected]’ Ransomware. Moreover, you should note that developers aim behind releasing the ransomware is to boot up their bank balance and strengthen their organization.

When the Ransomware is activated on the PC it scans the list of available drives including mounted network drive and decides which files to encipher. You will not be happy to know that ‘[email protected]’ cybpto-virus is powered by custom-built AES-256 and RSA-2048 data encryption algorithm that provides double-protection against reverse-engineering attempts and brute force attacks. This ransomware is programmed to target important files that are associated with programs commonly used programs like Adobe Dreamweaver, Microsoft Office, SQLite, WPS Office, Adobe Photoshop, AutoCAD, Sony Vegas PRO, Microsoft Visual Studio and so on.

Is file decryption possible without paying ransom?

Of course not, you can not decrypt enciphered files featuring ‘.happydayzz’ extension just right after original extension. For instance, if your OFFICE_PROJECT.ppt has been enciphered by ‘[email protected]’ Ransomware then it will be renamed as OFFICE_PROJECT.ppt.happydayz. However, using some alternative methods like Data Recovery software or System Restore functionality, you can get back your important files in the original form.

In case, you are planning to pay off ransom, then you should know that doing so may disclose your online banking credentials to remote attackers. As a result your bank account will become empty without your knowledge. To collect your credentials, hackers will advise you to use TOR browser in order to make ransom pay off via Bitcoin base account. TOR Network community has very low reputation because it is designed to support cyber criminals.

 

Therefore, to get back your files, first you should remove ‘[email protected]’ Ransomware from your affected computer. Though, kindly follow the given ransomware removal procedures carefully:
