What is FuckTheSystem Ransomware?
FuckTheSystem Ransomware is a new threat spreading on the web; however, if this beast wannabe ends up on your system, you are in the luck this time. It is quite rare that we can make a report on a program in possibly the most dangerous and devastating malware category and we can mention “luck” in the same sentence. Well, it is still true. Our malware specialists have found that this ransomware is not only based on a decryptable open-source threat but it does not even ask for money after encrypting your files. In fact, this malware program belongs to a family that has been named “Stupid Ransomware” by malware researchers for a reason. In this case there is no pressure for you to contemplate whether to pay hundreds of dollars for your files or to lose them for good. You can easily decrypt your files and remove FuckTheSystem Ransomware right after that. Please read on for more information on this “almost dangerous” ransomware.
Where does FuckTheSystem Ransomware come from?
Although there are a couple of ways how cyber criminals like to spread ransomware programs, this infection seems to be mainly distributed via spamming campaigns, which is probably the most frequent method to reach as many victims as possible. The executable malicious file may be disguised as an image, a video, a text document with malicious macro coding, or even a .zip archive. Even the file’s shortcut icon could reflect this and come up as an image; although, in reality, it is an .exe file. Obviously, no one would download this file if it were clear that it is indeed a malicious one. Such a spam can appear to be totally authentic and thus misleading. It is possible that the subject refers to an urgent invoice issue, problems with your credit card details you gave when buying something online, or anything similar. There is one very important thing to remember about ransomware threats. Once you save this file and run it, your files will be encrypted and you cannot avoid deleting FuckTheSystem Ransomware. Your only luck this time is that you can decrypt your files; otherwise, you would likely lose them in the attack.
It is worth mentioning that you can also drop such an infection by clicking on a corrupt third-party ad. Another popular method is called Exploit Kits, which are used to create malicious webpages that serve as bait. Once you load such a page in your browser, the malicious Java or Flash code will be triggered and drop an infection right away behind your back. Since these kits can exploit outdated browser and driver versions, we suggest that you keep all of these updated frequently.
How does FuckTheSystem Ransomware work?
This ransomware is based on an open-source ransomware and therefore it is possible to decrypt it. It uses the AES algorithm to encrypt your personal files targeting these extensions: .3gp, .7z, .apk, .avi, .bmp, .cdr, .cer, .chm, .conf, .css, .csv, .dat, .db, .dbf, .djvu, .dbx, .docm, ,doc, .epub, .docx .fb2, .flv, .gif, .gz, .iso .ibooks,.jpeg, .jpg, .key, .mdb .md2, .mdf, .mht, .mobi, .mhtm, .mkv, .mov, .mp3, .mp4, .mpg .mpeg, .pict, .pdf, .pps, .pkg, .png, .ppt .pptx, .ppsx, .psd, .rar, .rtf, .scr, .swf, .sav, .tiff, .tif, .tbl, .torrent, .txt, .vsd, .wmv, .xls, .xlsx, .xps, .xml, .ckp, .zip, .java, .py, .asm, .c, .cpp, .cs, .js, .php, .dacpac, .rbw, .rb, .mrg, .dcx, .db3, .sql, .sqlite3, .sqlite, .sqlitedb, .psd, .psp, .pdb, .dxf, .dwg, .drw, .casb, .ccp, .cal, .cmx, .cr2. As you can see, most of your pictures, documents, third-party program files, and audio files are affected. These files get a new “.anon” extension appended.
This malware infection does not even have a proper ransom note. Once the files are encrypted, this ransomware displays a window that simply tells you in broken English that “Your All File Are Encrypted.” There is a single input field in this window where you are supposed to enter your decryption code. As a matter of fact, there is no mention of ransom fee or payment; nothing. But do not worry for a second because there are actually two ways for you to recover your files in this case. First of all, you can use
“hexobon” as the code. Enter or copy and paste this code into the input field and press the “Decrypted” button, and the process should start up. Once done, you can finally remove FuckTheSystem Ransomware. The second method to restore your files is to download a working free tool from the web and use that for the decryption.
How do I delete FuckTheSystem Ransomware?
