What is Delphimorix Red Ransomware?
Delphimorix Red Ransomware is a tremendously vicious infection, and it looks like it was created for the sole purpose of destroying Windows users’ files. Unlike most threats of this kind, it appears that it was not created to make any money for the attackers. Of course, a ransom price is set, but it is ridiculous. At the time of research, it was set at 999,999.5 Bitcoin, which is around 8,000,000,000 US Dollars. Needless to say, this is not the kind of money that anyone would be willing to give. Even multibillion dollar companies and governments could not cough up that much. It seems like the attackers just entered a random number without even expecting the ransom to be paid. Truth be told, even if the ransom was $10, we would not recommend paying it. Nonetheless, the risk would be much smaller. Even though there might be no point in discussing the demands of cyber criminals, we certainly need to discuss the removal of Delphimorix Red Ransomware. If you continue reading, you will learn how to delete this threat.
How does Delphimorix Red Ransomware work?
Anti-Spyware-101.com research team has discovered that Delphimorix Red Ransomware is a clone of Delphimorix Ransomware, an infection that was spreading last year. Both infections encrypt personal files, such as photos, documents, videos, archives, and music files. Once they are encrypted, they cannot be opened, and that means that you cannot access the content within. You do not need to go through every file to see whether or not it was encrypted, as the “.demonslay335_you_cannot_decrypt_me!” extension is added to mark them. According to our researchers, the extension suggests that the entire threat is targeted at a well-known malware researcher, Michail Gillespie, whose Twitter handle is “demonslay335.” It is unknown how exactly this malware could spread, but if we had to guess, we would say spam emails, malware downloaders, and exploited vulnerabilities. Without a doubt, if you do not secure your operating system and think carefully before interacting with strange attachments, links, buttons, installers, or sites, you could let Delphimorix Red Ransomware or other malicious threats in.
After encrypting files, Delphimorix Red Ransomware is supposed to launch the “DelphiMorix” window. It displays a full ransom note, according to which, the RC6 encryption algorithm was used and now a special decryption service must be employed. This service is offered at the price of 999,999.5 Bitcoin, and, of course, there is no reason to discuss this further. The attackers are obviously out of their minds if they believe that anyone would pay that much money for their personal files. Of course, there are tons of infections that make more “sensible” demands, but that does not mean that anyone should pay attention to them. Instead, you want to insure your personal files, and you can do that by creating backup copies. A backup is a copy of the original file that is placed someplace else. While internal system backups exist, we suggest employing external drives or even cloud storage to secure the files. If you do that, you will always have backups even if Delphimorix Red Ransomware or some other malicious threat strikes again.
How to remove Delphimorix Red Ransomware
Delphimorix Red Ransomware is a true pest, and it is crucial to remove it from your operating system. Even if you cannot decrypt your files, you cannot waste any time. Hopefully, none of your files are lost because backups exist, but if not, make sure you start backing up files from now on because that it is only way to guarantee that they are safe. Obviously, to add protection, you also want to implement legitimate and reliable anti-malware software because that is your first line of defense. This software can also help you delete Delphimorix Red Ransomware because it is equipped to identify and eliminate all kinds of threats. If you are not interested in help, and you do not want to think about your virtual security now – and now IS the perfect time – you will need to delete the threat manually. Do so only if you can identify the launcher.
