Orgasm@india.com ransomware wants your money
Another ridiculously-named ransomware has surfaced, and this time it is dubbed Orgasm@india.com virus. We have no idea what the authors of this virus meant by creating such email account for communication with victims, but it seems that racketeering definitely gives them pleasure. According to our research, Orgasm@india.com ransomware is just another member of Globe ransomware project, which contains numerous ransomware viruses that mark files with a specific file extension. For example, the virus that we discuss today adds such file extension: .orgasm. Besides, the virus encrypts files with strong cipher, which makes them inaccessible. The malicious program modifies them on a structural level, and they can be restored to the initial state only with a unique decryption key, which the virus removes from the victim’s computer as soon as the encryption is finished (it sends the key to criminals’ Command & Control servers).
Orgasm@india.com malware is taciturn; it replaces the desktop picture with an image that displays just a few sentences of information, and just commands the victim to write to Orgasm@india.com email for more details. We assume that criminals seek to speak individually with each victim to be able to negotiate and extort as much money as possible. Criminals ask victims to transmit the ransom payment via Bitcoin payment system to remain anonymous. We heartily recommend you NOT to pay because you do not know whether they are going to give you the decryption tool or not. Sending money to criminals means losing them, but keep in mind that you can get nothing in return. Therefore, we recommend you to remove Orgasm@india.com virus and restore files using data backup (if you have it, of course). Orgasm@india.com removal should be completed with an anti-malware tool like FortectIntego or SpyHunterCombo Cleaner because these programs can effectively detect all malicious programs and files and remove them at once to make your computer system intact again.
How does this ransomware spread?
Orgasm@india.com ransomware invades computers as a Trojan horse. It means that it pretends to be something that it isn’t; for example, you can receive an email from criminals, which contains a malicious attachment named as “Invoice” or “Phone bill.” Of course, such attachment looks safe at first sight; however, even if it is a document, it can contain a malicious script or simple have a hidden file extension (.exe). As soon as you open it, it drops the destructive payload on the system, corrupts files and shocks the computer user with a sordid surprise: files have been encrypted, and criminals want a ransom. Although this is the most banal way to distribute malware, shockingly, it is very efficient. There are some other methods, such as malvertising or exploit kits, which are harder to plan and carry out, but more experienced malware creators manage to employ these techniques and even spread malware via legitimate websites. Such attacks can be stopped only by an up-to-date anti-malware software.
My computer has been infected, what should I do now?
If your files have been encrypted, it goes without saying that you want to restore them. However, we are afraid that this might not be possible, especially if you have no data backups. If you do not have data backups and if you do not plan to pay the ransom, remove Orgasm@india.com virus as soon as you can. This can be done using anti-malware software; in some cases, the anti-malware software cannot be launched because the virus blocks it. Therefore, you should use these Orgasm@india.com removal guidelines to prepare your computer for virus elimination.
