Guide To Remove Pulpy Ransomware From Infected Computers

Get More Knowledge on Pulpy Ransomware

Pulpy Ransomware is a newly discovered file-encoder virus which uses RSA-2048 and AES-256 encryption algorithm in order to encipher the data stored on affected machine. Once it encrypts the targeted file types, it appends the file extension by adding '.AES' extension onto them. As a result, victimized system users won't be able to open or access their vital files. It mainly targets the English speaking PC users and distributed with the help of malicious junk email attachments or vulnerable RDP configurations. Based on the research report, the nasty payload of Pulpy Ransomware is reported as '1dPtin.exe' which dropped onto the targeted systems without users knowledge.

After the successful encryption of targeted computer files, this hazardous ransomware virus displays a ransom note onto the desktop which consists two different email addresses i.e. '[email protected]' and '[email protected]'. According to the cyber security analysts, victimized users should never contact the operators of Pulpy Ransomware, because it may lead to money and data loss both. There is no doubt that the developers of such destructive malware ask to pay hundreds of dollar in the form of bitcoin just for unknown decryption utility. Even though, you make the ransom payment, the cyber extortionists responsible for this ransomware attack will not provide the right decryption key which is needed for file restoration.

Other Destructive Properties of Pulpy Ransomware

Cyber security experts revealed that this ransomware also has a version name Rozok ransomware which is especially programmed to target the computer users located in Russia. In this case, the malicious payload used to infect the user's machine is identified as 'enbild.exe'. However, the modus operandi and the file extension used to append the name of enciphered files are same. The main difference between Pulpy Ransomware and Rozok ransomware is the ransom note. This malware displays a ransom notification in the Russian language after successfully encoding the affected system's files.

Besides, the Rozok ransomware uses different email address i.e. '[email protected]' as compare to its main version. The hackers behind these ransomware are willing to profit from the victimized computer users by encoding their important files and asking them to a specific amount of ransom money. Meanwhile, the hackers do not reveal the size of ransom fee which means that they are willing to obtain money from the affected users as much as possible. Hence, you should take immediate actions to delete Pulpy Ransomware and eliminate Rozok ransomware from your device and try alternative method for file recovery.
