Where does CC1H Ransomware come from?
The malicious application might be spread through unsecured RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) connections, spam emails, and malicious file-sharing websites. Thus, there are quite a few ways to encounter it. If you do not want it to happen, we advise taking safety measures when surfing the Internet. It is best not to visit unknown websites or receive content from unreliable sources. As for RDP connections, you should ensure that they are secure by setting up a strong password. Also, it is always a good idea to keep a legitimate antimalware tool for extra protection. It can be handy when you cannot tell if a file is harmless or not, as a reputable security tool should be able to identify various threats.
How does CC1H Ransomware work?
As said earlier, CC1H Ransomware is similar to threats from a particular family of ransomware applications. It might create a copy of its launcher and a Registry entry in the Run Once directory to ensure that it could restart with the operating system after a restart. Later, the malware should start encrypting targeted files. Our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com say that the threat should be after personal files like photos, archives, and documents. Such data should be encrypted with a robust encryption algorithm, and users should be able to identify it from a second extension called .CC1H that should be added at the end of each encrypted file’s title.
When CC1H Ransomware finishes encrypting targeted files, it should create a ransom note called Decryption INFO.html. If opened, it should show a personal ID number and detailed instructions. The instructions should explain what happened to encrypted files and that users can contact hackers behind the malware, pay a ransom, and then get decryption tools to decrypt their files. The bad news is that hackers can only prove that they have the needed decryption tools. As for proving that you will get them after you pay the ransom, it is impossible. Thus, if you doubt that hackers will bother to send you the promised tools after getting your money, we advise you not to put up with their demands.
