What is Fireee Ransomware?
Fireee Ransomware is an extremely deceptive infection. First of all, it uses deception to invade Windows operating systems, which, by the way, usually happens with their users’ interaction. Then, this malware encrypts files, and once that happens, it uses a misleading message to convince them that they can get their files back as soon as they fulfill the presented demands. Needless to say, cybercriminals’ demands are unreasonable, and their promises are untrustworthy. Therefore, we suggest that you pay no mind to their message. Of course, if this malware has managed to encrypt highly sensitive and important files, you might feel like you have no other option but to obey. If that is what you are leaning towards, please keep reading our report. You will understand how dangerous it actually could be for you to interact with cybercriminals. We also discuss how to delete Fireee Ransomware. Note that even if you are unable to get your files recovered, removing this malware is crucial.
How does Fireee Ransomware work?
Our Anti-Spyeare-101.com research team has interacted with Decme Ransomware, CVC Ransomware, Epor Ransomware, and tons of other infections alike. Fireee Ransomware is not unique in any way. First of all, it uses misleading spam emails and bundled downloaders to trick Windows users into executing this malware. RDP vulnerabilities and other infections could be used for successful distribution as well. Once this hurdle is passed, the infection encrypts files. A unique encryptor is used, and that ensures that no one can crack it and restore files for free. Sometimes, free decryptors are built, but that was not the case with Fireee Ransomware at the time of research. Most infections attach unique extensions to the files they encrypt, and the threat we are discussing attaches “.[{unique ID}].[helpforyou@firemail.cc].fireee.” You are likely to see this monstrous extension appended to the names of documents, photos, videos, and other personal files. Next to them, you should discover a “readme-warning.txt” file. It is dropped by the attackers, and the manual removal guide below suggests deleting it as well.
The message represented via the Fireee Ransomware text file informs that there is a “scanner-decoder program” that you can use to restore your files. So, how are you expected to obtain this program? The attackers suggest that you must contact them first, and you are instructed to do via that email (helpforyou@firemail.cc) or Jabber (mrdoc8869@xmpp.jp). What’s the harm in sending a little message to cybercriminals, you might ask? Well, first, they would extort money from you. They would ask to pay a ransom in Bitcoin in return for a decryptor. Afterward, they could scam you in other ways. Although the ransom note suggests that the attackers are willing to provide you with a decryptor, the reality is that you should not put your hopes into their promises. At the end of the day, they themselves say that they do not care about you. So, if you send messages to the attackers behind Fireee Ransomware, you could be coerced and scammed. And if you pay the ransom, it is very likely that you will get nothing. Are you willing to put your own security at risk for your files? Hopefully, you do not need to.
How to delete Fireee Ransomware
Although it does not look like decrypting files corrupted by Fireee Ransomware is feasible, some victims might be able to do without that. They might be able to replace the encrypted files with backup copies. Of course, these copies cannot be stored on the same infected computer. Instead, they must be located on virtual or external clouds or other devices. If you have backups, removing Fireee Ransomware is the first order of business. Implement a legitimate anti-malware application that will delete this malicious infection automatically. What about manual removal? Well, the infection’s location and file’s name are random, and, besides that, you need full-time Windows protection, which only reliable anti-malware software can provide you with. After you take care of this, we hope that you can replace the corrupted files. If you cannot, take this as a lesson that you must secure your system and also your files better.
