How to remove Ransomed@india ransomware

Ransomed@india ransomware – a dangerous virus that encrypts files with

Ransomed@india is one of the most dangerous crypto-virus which is related to CryptoOn and Damoclis ransomware. This ransomware is designed to encrypt different files on the targeted computer and append .id.ransomed@india.com file extension to mark files that became unavailable. After the attack is finished, victims are unable to open and use their files. However, they can find a new file that provides instructions how to get back access to the important data. They have to pay a set amount of Bitcoins or other digital currency to recover files encrypted by Ransomed india virus.

Ransomed@india.com has been spreading via emails^[1] that contain an obfuscated attachment. If users are tricked into opening Word, PDF or Zip file, they download ransomware payload to their computer. Malware is immediately executed and begins its hazardous task.

First tasks for the Ransomed india virus are to disable security programs, install malicious components, and settle in on the affected computer. Once it's done, malware starts scanning Windows machine looking for the targeted files. The file-encrypting virus can encode the following types of files:

• MS Office or OpenOffice,
• Pictures,
• Photos,
• Videos,
• Databases,
• Archives,
• Other popular file types.

The ransomware uses a strong encryption cipher and might delete Shadow Volume Copies. Hence, data recovery becomes nearly impossible. Therefore, users might be willing to pay the demanded sum of money in order to restore their files. However, security specialists from bedynet.ru^[2] warn that paying the ransom rarely gives desired results.

According to developers of Ransomed@india ransomware, victims can receive help and ask questions via these addresses:

xxxx://45pivhvier7acz3d.onion.to (not need Tor);

xxxxs://45pivhvier7acz3d.onion.cab (not need Tor);

xxxx://45pivhvier7acz3d.onion (need Tor)

However, we can easily guess that they will try to convince their victims that the only way to recover locked data is by transferring the money. Take into account that authors of Ransomed@india.com might disappear as soon as they receive the ransom because the primary purpose of the cybercrime is achieved. Such cyber threats are created for swindling the money only. Data recovery is just an optional task for crooks.^[3] Hence, paying the ransom becomes a waste of money.

Creators of ransomware use malicious spam emails as the main distribution strategy

Malicious spam emails are the most popular ransomware distribution method for a couple of years. Crooks create different emails and pretend to be representatives from governmental institutions, parcel delivery services or other popular organizations in order to trick users into opening the attached file.

While some letters include lots of mistakes and can be easily identified, others are perfectly crafted. For this reason, people often fall for the scam and open a safely-looking attachment. Though, it’s important not to rush opening received files. First of all, make sure that you were supposed to receive such email and check the attachment for malicious content with online malware scanners.
