What is EnyBeny CRISTMAS Ransomware?
EnyBeny CRISTMAS Ransomware is a malicious infection that aims to rip you off. This program is there to hold your files hostage until you pay the ransom fee. However, we have grounds to believe that this ransomware infection is not going to issue the decryption key for you even if you were to pay the money. So what should you do about it? First, you need to remove EnyBeny CRISTMAS Ransomware from your computer. Then, you need to look for ways to retrieve at least a portion of your files. Continue reading this entry to find out more about the infection and where it comes from.
Where does EnyBeny CRISTMAS Ransomware come from?
This application comes from a long line of ransomware infections that includes EnyBeny Ransomware, EnyBenyCrypt Ransomware, Crypt888 Ransomware, and several others. It would suggest that all these programs are created using the same code as the main base. However, even if that were the case, it would only offer us several insights into how this application works, and not how we are supposed to deal with it.
The problem is that each infection is very much unique. They encrypt files using unique encryption algorithms, and if one decryption key worked in one case, it will not work in the other. As a result, even if there are several infections in the same family, they all require different decryption keys, so we wouldn’t be able to reuse any on EnyBeny CRISTMAS Ransomware either.
Due to such complications, computer security experts always maintain that it is more important to invest in the ransomware prevention measures. After all, if you can recognize the main aspects of ransomware distribution, you would be more likely to avoid such infections in the first place, right?
Our research team says that EnyBeny CRISTMAS Ransomware usually gets distributed via spam email attachments and corrupted Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections. It means that users allow this ransomware program to enter their systems themselves. Of course, they might not be aware of it because the messages that bring in ransomware apps often look like notifications from reliable sources.
For example, in the case of spam email attachments, they might look like online shopping invoices or financial reports from some bank. If users are more eager to check out the information rather than see whether it has come from a reliable sender, they might inadvertently infect their system with EnyBeny CRISTMAS Ransomware. That is why it is important to scan the downloaded files before opening them. You might save yourself a lot of trouble!
What does EnyBeny CRISTMAS Ransomware do?
On the other hand, if this infection is already there, you will surely notice that it wastes no time before encrypting your files. Once the encryption is complete, it attaches an additional extension to a filename. For instance, a cat.jpg file name, after the encryption, would look like cat.jpg.personal.KRE6HIREZ42X6XG.Cristmas@india_com. Here, KRE6HIREZ42X6XG is an infection ID, and we believe that for each infected computer, the ID would be different. This is how the criminals can identify each and every infected system.
After that, the infection will drop a ransom note that reads the following:
Great! You a member 2019 New year #Enybeny community
Encryption algorytm - AES-128 with unique 32 symbols, virus created for protect all your filesYou can buy decryptor - price 0.00000001 BTC
For decrypt contact with:
desktopman228@india.com
OR
care_nlm@tutamail.cc
Please note that the fact these criminals operate with two email addresses suggests that they cannot ensure a stable server connection. Therefore, even if you were to transfer the ransom fee, it is very unlikely that you would receive the decryption key. Hence, your best option in this case is to remove EnyBeny CRISTMAS Ransomware for good.
How do I remove EnyBeny CRISTMAS Ransomware?
It is not hard to delete this program because it doesn’t drop any additional files. You just need to remove the file that started it all. However, after that, you have to check your options. Do you have an external hard drive where you keep copies of your files? Perhaps you have a lot of data saved on other devices? Or maybe you have a cloud drive where you always back up your files? Whichever it might be, if you have a backup storage, it could be the answer to all of your problems. Then just delete the encrypted files and transfer the healthy copies into your computer. Just don’t forget to secure your system with a licensed antispyware tool first.
