Where does Diablo_diablo2@aol.com Ransomware come from?

Although we cannot disclose one certain distribution source, we know for sure that the ransomware in question is part of a huge malware family, where all programs are based on the CrySiS Ransomware engine. It means that CrySiS Ransomware was the original infection, and then all the other programs are based on the same pattern, even if they have specific customizations.

Apart from Diablo_diablo2@aol.com Ransomware, there is also Legioner_seven@aol.com Ransomware, A_Princ@aol.com Ransomware, Ninja_gaiver@aol.com Ransomware, and a number of other infections. As you have already noticed, all of these programs have an email address in their title. That does not necessarily mean that this is the original title of the program, but there simply is no other way to call them, and so we are using the most obvious keyword that sets them apart from each other: the email address that they use to collect the ransom fee.

Aside from different email addresses and different ransom fee requirements, another common thing that binds all programs from this family together is the distribution method. Ransomware programs usually spread via spam email attachments. For instance, if you find a new message in your inbox with an attachment, and it has been sent by an unfamiliar sender, you clearly should think twice before opening it. This attachment could be the installation file for any of the malicious ransomware applications. Thus, it is possible to say that you could protect yourself from Diablo_diablo2@aol.com Ransomware and other malicious infections if you were more attentive when you open your email messages.

What does Diablo_diablo2@aol.com Ransomware do?

However, now that you have installed the application on your system, perhaps it is time to find out more about it does.

It is very unfortunate that crypto ransomware programs are one of the most popular computer infections nowadays. They are very particular about dropping their payload, and they do not beat around the bush: You will know at once that you have been infected with a ransomware application, and the program will not hide its presence from you.

Instead, Diablo_diablo2@aol.com Ransomware will display a notification on your screen that says: “Your data is encrypted!!! To return the file to an email email diablo_diablo2@aol.com.” The ransom note is very concise, and it has been written in broken English, but it is enough to understand that you have to contact the criminals via the given email address to restore your files.

Meanwhile, your files will be encrypted using the RSA-2048 encryption key which is practically impossible to decrypt unless you have the private decryption key. Needless to say, this is the main leverage used by the infection: They offer you the key if you are willing to pay the ransom fee. Quite a few users would be more than eager to transfer the fee to restore their important files, but we would strongly discourage you to do so.

It is possible to restore your files from a backup drive, and you can transfer them back to your system after you have removed Diablo_diablo2@aol.com Ransomware for good. Of course, the situation becomes trickier if you do not keep copies of your files somewhere, but there is a good chance that a public decryption tool will be released soon, so let us not lose hope.
