When I accidentally ran ransomware! 

The PC Security being a victim of ransomware himself is the definitive proof that no one is safe, that no one just rely just on their behavior, their cautiousness. We have to combine caution with anti-malware tools, backups, etc.

Pro tip: do not get the latest Acronis, as they have moved to a subscription model, get the previous version.

4:25 This is very true. Jim Browning, a large content creator that deals with computers all the time, taking down scam call centres and hacking into web cams, you would think that nothing could ever go wrong until recently when he got tricked into deleting his OWN channel from a scammer. Its the same case with a malware expert.

"Can you decrypt ransomware?" Short: Maybe. Long answer: If you're lucky, there already is or will be a decryptor.

I worked at a small company that had a ransomware attack back about 4 or 5 years ago maybe.. It just so happened I woke up in the middle of the night and was getting email alerts from a database server. Logged in to my work machine and was able to stop the program on some of the servers. It was a hassle, but our databases were safe and half of our backups were saved because I caught it in time. Pesky buggers. There's probably a decrypter available now, but I don't even remember what the attacking program was called. I just know it came from a Word document with a VB script.

Blown away by this information, ransomware can be decrypted. As a student of cybersecurity, I am learning something new every day. I started following your channel about 6 months ago, continue making good tech content.

All my 5 years architectural work has gone in 2017 by a ransomware and still now I never found a solution while I let all my files on their HDD.. waiting for the DDay

Great video, I'm glad those hope now in the Cybersecurity (ransomware side) realm of things! One comment about being vulnerable, just because there is a big company out there doesn't mean they are more or less protected than an individual. That company has to invest in cyber-defense. In the case of the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack in the US, they did not have a full cybersecurity staff to put procedures in place and monitor threats. So part of the problem was on them.

I have encrypted files from 2019 (jhdd and zpps). I'll try this way

why can't all pc tech channels be this straightfoward, ethical, and informative. i love your content man thank you for making cybersecurity education more accessible

My All Files having .bgzq as extentions..... can you help me

Thanks for posting... Love your content 😊

I used to think along the lines of, I'm invincible to being attacked because I know what I'm doing, and I know it very well. until I ran malicious code on my computer, cause I wasn't thinking. and it was all too late by the time I figured it out It can happen to anyone.

Decryption won't work when the ransomware generated a unique private key

Bitdefender is arguably the best anti-malware solution, even with the free version. This decryption tool adds to the point.

Victims should be allowed free usage of anti-malware software. As if being emotionally (and often financially) distraught isn't already enough.

I think from now on, after I watched this video, I'll always have an SSD backup of my PC, just in case. Thank you! Best channel.

Needs a dedication testing computer. I thought he was joking at first. Backup best defence from ransomware.

3:07 This is a grate idea, i love that project.

Tnx for this video, I wonder what future technologies will be capable of, given that shade can be finally decripted...

my files are encrypted by qqkk ransomeware please explain what shall i do?

Saddly I got infected with .saba and it was the Online Key variant -_- I could restore some files however and it didn't get too deep into the files luckily. Also THE VERY FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO, WHEN YOU DISCOVER AN ATTACK: CUT YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION, reboot until windows offers pc repair options (Press Power button when windows boot logo appears and do this again when the pc boots back up). If you are lucky the malware will encrypt with offline keys, depending on the variant the decryption key has been known by the community for a while and you can easily decrypt. Cutting the Internet connection is also important because these Tools steal everything(!) and i mean ABSOLUTLY EVERYTHING(!) they can get, E-Mail Passwords, Steam Account, Origin, Epic Games, Facebook and so on. And if i hadn't checked my mails in this very moment i wouldn't have realized that. They plundered my Steam Wallet, they sold my stuff on community market and bought new stuff just to sell it immediatly, so all i had left was 0,01€... And steam guard even when activated didn't react. i got locked out from Origin and Epic as well but was able to at least recover Origin. Epic is on it. This shit software that hit me has been around since 2019 and got updated so it now encrypts with an online key, which is almost IMPOSSIBLE to decrypt... It uses 78 character encryption and you will take longer to decrypt than the univers exists... so much for that. but still keep your data backed up and maybe someday it will be encrypted. Also you have good chances that mp3 files, jpgs, mp4s can be decrypted because the Software only decrypts the first 150kb of the file. So the larger the file and the deeper the root directory the more chance is there that the data is not fully encrypted. So yeah in the last 8 hours i felt like i was having an exam on everything i ever learned since i got into computers. All that knowledge however is useless if you don't react fast. Change Passwords best is if you have a seperate device with 2way authentification or fingerprints, so you can practicly see live how they try to get control over your accounts. In a best case scenario you lose 10-15% data and have to reinstall a couple programs, worst case: They steal everything and hack you, your data and decrypt all of it... Be careful you guys. I don't even know how this happened. All i did during that was that i connected my new Microphone Shure SM7B via my usb interface/mixer from Behringer. And suddendly my pc started doing weird stuff... It rebooted, got back, after a minute it rebooted again. and then i got pop ups. SHIT! FUUUUCK! i disconnected the power sat down, googled what i could do, got into windows repair options, pc booted removed the virus. ok... so yeah then i thought just got lucky and away with it. Far from it... when i checked my files they were encrypted and that was when the real trouble began... So now I'm sitting here exhausted from 8 hours of fighting some fucking script kiddies from Russia/China or whatever and just am happy that i could restore and reacted fast enough...

I have utf-8 and it the same of the video i can't find it on the website please help

Is there's any way to aid ransomware busting by uploading encrypted file alongside with unencrypted backups?

I can't believe it I've been infected by malware before! But thank God some of my data have been survived after I deleted the main malware file! That doesn't mean I got rid of the virus he's still creating malware apps and files in temp file whatever I'm online, And hog the CPU usage while file explorer is running! Then I have no choice but to format the drive! This will get rid the virus for good!

how can decrypt .8base file extension 😢

I had something similar to ransomware happen to a pc but they wiped the pc and destroyed the whole install of windows the pc would go strait to the bios settings like there wasnt anything at all on the pc had to reinstall windows

Can rapid ransomware be decrypted?

The Bitdefender does not found any encrypted file although all my files are encrypted. The Emsisoft does not works too - encrypted files have a online ID.

Haha there’s a reason I have different wallpapers for VMs :p

Hello My pc attack by STOP/Djvu . i want to reformat and reinstall new OS it will process with no error? Please reply 😭

Is there a way to tell what kind of ransomware it is?

hi my files are encrypted by .wwza extention how can i decrypt the file as the readme file is not available plz guide

If you play with vipers rather than avoiding them . . . . These videos have made me more diligent about keeping an external backup drive plugged in (but powered down) that I backup to with Acronis. But I don't have much that's extremely important that's not backed up a dozen times. But it would be inconvenient. . . . but how does ransomware know what to encrypt first? And how long does it take? If they disable the machine how will you be able to respond to their demands? I use to use Kaspersky but everyone was taking that it was not trustworthy when all the Russia bashing was going on. Now I use bitdefender and it quarantines rater than deletes which is what I prefer since I might have a crack program one here somewhere.

Tuskhacking want just money don't tell me to go to find help from him. I repeat my question, how can i fix this problem: "id appears to be an online id, decryption is impossible" ?

i caught by DJVU VIRUS. what should i do now?

At least an accident gave u the ability to create content and share some knowledge! :D

Sir… my Sd card not showing my photo and video file and that has converted to one file with some different language and not able to open it. Do you have any to get back my photos data back… please help in this problem.

Always try use windows as a sub-administrator...no tampering with files allowed without Administrator privilege.

Ransomeware Decryption: 'It can be done amigo!' - that would make an awesome T-shirt. This channel is tops.

I've been infected with koom virus (STOP/DJVU family of ransomware-type), online encryption. A very important data were encrypted. please tell me, is there any hope of ever retrieving it? Is there a legit software I should use or maybe an expert able to help? Any advice is more than appreciated.

That's some low quality ransomware. Each instance should have it's unique encryption key mirrored to the criminals system (if they even intend to unlock in case of payment).

PLEASE make a video on Kaspersky Free !!!!!!!!!!! You missed it Sir !!!!!!!!!

If I get punched by Shade, and I have the decryptor in my system the time the ransom encrypts my data, will the decryptor be affected also or not? If yes, does Shade give me access to use the browser to download the decryptor or do i need to get it from an external source?

please help me my pc is iffected by corona.lock virus

hello, This is quite an interesting video. I have many photos encrypted with the extension "rumba". Is there any possibility of being able to recover these photos? Thank you very much

Oh my god new video

me of the tool,,, mi file is affected will ttza

Cerber V3 or V4 isn't listed... I've waited five years. I guess I will keep waiting...

Curious, this makes me think. How is it possible that you can decryp ransomware? I though encryption was almost decryp proof? It's like ransomware in general have bad encryption techniques, but good once is nothing new nor hard to create. Whats up with that?

or you can write your own decryptor its not that hard :)

Are there any available decryption tools for .cdcc ransomware? Thank you in advance for the reply.

How come you didn't have AV running on your main system when you run the malware by accident? / and if you have, what AV was it?

the problem i have with the bitdefender decryptor is that the window of the decryptor is too big, i cannot move the window more higher, so i cant click on the "agree" button, how do i fix this?

not all can be decrypted, its a quite broad statement. Vypt strains, like EzMicrobe with .cbb/.cb2 etc are quite impossible.

The STOP djvu cannot open😢

I was affected by jzei file please help

how about cdtt ransomware plz

Man I was hit by Phobos back in 2019 and managed to kill the process that was encrypting everything through task manager. This let me back up all the files. To this day I'm still waiting on a decryptor :(

I setup backups then realized i had nothing to backup

Are your cloud files on the sponsors cloud backup automatically encrypted? Doesn't say so I suppose no? This is my biggest issue with cloud storage.

What about MITU Ransomware ? How do i recover my file

.BTOS DECRYPTOR TOOL?
