HildaCrypt ransomware (Removal Guide) - Decryption Methods Included

What is HildaCrypt ransomware?

HildaCrypt ransomware is the virus that uses AES + RSA algorithm for the encryption process that gives the reason for ransom demands

HildaCrypt ransomware is the virus that gets on the system via infected email attachment and immediately after that affects files stored on the machine. HildaCrypt ransomware is a new GlobeImposter ransomware variant that appends the .HILDA! to all the encrypted files. This is cryptovirus that focuses on file-locking, and once that is done, it drops a ransom note named READ_IT.txt where this functionality is disclosed, and victims get further instruction on what to do next. However, there is no guarantee that your data will get recovered to a previous state. These criminals focus on encryption, so the machine gets affected, and payment can be required.

Even though HildaCrypt ransomware virus developers offer to decrypt two files for free, these people are not reliable, and you should restrain from any contact with ransom-demanding criminals. If you pay you may lose your money and data permanently and it is all for nothing, so remain calm and react to this infection as soon as possible by eliminating threats from the machine using anti-malware tool. Then you can safely recover files from a backup or using other software designed to restore various data.

HildaCrypt v1.0 paralyzes the whole system when it encrypts your photos, documents, archives, projects, and makes people frustrated when their months or years of work gets ruined and in most cases, permanently damaged. However, paying is not the best option since criminals only care about their gains and not your belongings.^[2]

HildaCrypt ransomware attack starts with a general system infection and file encryption. This threat uses a double encryption algorithm for file encoding and makes files useless by changing the original code, deletes shadow copies, adds files in system folders, disables programs, alters the registry.

All these changes happen during the file encoding and ransom demand message generating. Once the ransom note READ_IT.txt is delivered on the screen and posted in every folder with encrypted files, ransomware is done with its primary processes. HildaCrypt ransomware ransom-demand reads the following:

—+ HILDACRYPT v1.0 +—

All the files on this computer have been encrypted with a RSA-4096 + AES-256 cryptographic combination. These algorithms are used by the NSA and other top tier organisations.

Backups were encrypted, and shadow copies were removed. So F8 or any other methods may damage encrypted data and make it unrecoverable.

We exclusively have decryption software for your situation.
More than a year ago, world experts have recognized the impossibility of decrypting by any means without the original decryptor.
NO decryption software is available to the public.
Antivirus companies, researchers, IT specialists, and no one else can help you recover your data.

DO NOT RESET OR SHUTDOWN – file may be damaged.
DO NOT DELETE readme files.txt
DO NOT REMOVE OR RENAME the encrypted files.
This may lead to the impossibility of your files being recovered.

To confirm our honest intentions, send us 2 different files and you well get them decrypted. They must not contain any sensitive information and must not be archived.

You well receive a BTC address for payment in the reply letter.

When you get the ransom message on the screen, and HildaCrypt ransomware demands to pay, contact developers via hildaseriesnetflix125@tutanota.com or hildaseriesnetflix125@horsefucker.org email addresses, your privacy and files are in danger. The note intimidates the victim and scares them into paying the hefty amount that can go up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars per device. HildaCrypt is the cryptovirus that displays a ransom-demanding message on the screen to make a profit from each victim.

HildaCrypt ransomware even claims that the only solution for encoded files is their decryption key that can be used to restore affected files. However, even the test decryption can be false and offered to create trust between the victim and the criminal. Copies of particular files may be stored separately and then sent to you as recovered version, so you trust the person and pay up.

All those claims that decryption is not possible are created to restrain people from HildaCrypt ransomware removal. However, you need to eliminate the threat and then restore your data from a backup or use data recovery software specially designed for such a process.

It may seem impossible to remove HildaCrypt ransomware since all those files and programs that virus adds on the system and changes it makes affect the performance of the computer and security tools. But you can reboot the machine in Safe Mode and run the anti-malware program then eliminate the threat fully.

You also need to scan the machine with FortectIntego to determine whether HildaCrypt ransomware did significant damage to your system files – it can help to repair them quickly, so you won't have to worry about system crashes and other unwanted consequences after the infection.

HildaCrypt ransomware is the cryptovirus that asks for money to recover files but those promises are false and there is no guarantee that you will get your files back after the payment.

Pay attention to shady processes running in the background and file attachments on spam emails

Experts^[3] often talk that when malware gets on the system, it adds some files, programs, and processes in the background that can affect the machine even further. You should notice such things and react immediately because the more time you give, the more damage gets done to your files and device itself.

The main vector that gets used in ransomware distribution campaigns is infected files with malicious macros attached to email spam. You cannot notice the malware infiltration, but it is possible to avoid cyber threat if you delete suspicious emails with attached files.

If you receive an email with financial information, order details or receipts, invoices avoid opening the email itself and downloading attachments on the system. If you load the malicious document and enable macros, your device immediately gets infected.

HildaCrypt v1.0 ransomware elimination is necessary before any other actions

If you leave HildaCrypt ransomware virus on the machine or any core files, associated files in the background, all the recovered files may get affected repeatedly until you delete the cryptovirus entirely. Your computer cannot work normally again if the virus is present.

Focus on HildaCrypt ransomware removal, clean virus damage fully, and make sure to terminate all possible threats that may affect your machine. You need to restore files on the virus-free system because your data may get damaged permanently by the malware or associated programs.

Get anti-virus tool and remove HildaCrypt ransomware from the system. Then run a double-check and terminate virus damage with FortectIntego. Once that is done, you can rely on your file backups or third-party software and recover all the encoded documents, projects or archives.
