What is Mifr Ransomware?
Did you think that your Windows operating system was secure prior to the invasion of Mifr Ransomware? If you did, you must have changed your mind because if a system is protected appropriately, malware shouldn’t be able to slither in. Unfortunately, this ransomware is not one of the threats that you can remove and escape all consequences. It encrypts all personal files, and that does not change once you delete Mifr Ransomware. Of course, that should not deter you from eliminating this dangerous malware, and if you have no idea as to how to even approach the task, we strongly advise that you keep reading this report. Our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team has recently analyzed the threat thoroughly, and we know what the best way to get rid of it is. As always, we have the comments section opened, and you can add your questions for our team to address.
How does Mifr Ransomware work?
There are thousands of file-encrypting infections in the wild, but not one of them is as similar to the malicious Mifr Ransomware as Konx Ransomware. Quite possibly, they were created by the same attacker. These threats are expected to spread via spam emails, unreliable downloaders, social engineering scams, and RDP vulnerabilities. Therefore, if you want to keep them away, you have to be careful about how you go about your business the moment you have your computer turned on. Unfortunately, Mifr Ransomware attacks those who are most vulnerable, i.e., systems with poor or non-existent protection. Can you admit that your system lacks trustworthy protection? If you can, please do not forget to figure this issue out as well. Of course, at this point, you might be most worried about your personal files, and they should have the “.[Hiden_pro@aol.com][{unique ID number}].mifr” extension pinned to their names. Unfortunately, the encrypted files cannot be read normally, and when we analyzed this infection, there was no legitimate decryptor that could restore the files encrypted by it.
When Mifr Ransomware encrypts files, it also drops the “!INFO.HTA” file. The message inside informs that your files were encrypted and that you should purchase a decryptor if you want to have the files restored. There is no information about the price or the payment method, but this information is withheld on purpose. The attackers desire you to contact them via Hiden_pro@aol.com or Hiden_pro@tutanota.com, and if you complied with this demand, they could terrorize you for days and months to come. Even if you pay for a decryptor – which you are unlikely to obtain anyway – intimidating and scary messages demanding more money or other actions from you could continue to come. Whatever you do, do not succumb to the demands of cybercriminals because they have one goal only – to get your money.
How to delete Mifr Ransomware
You have very little to worry about if you have copies of the files corrupted by Mifr Ransomware. The existence of this kind of malware is exactly why backing up files and storing copies in secure locations is crucial. If you have copies, you can easily replace the encrypted files after removing Mifr Ransomware. If this is not an option for you, please be more mindful about the security of your personal files in the future. You also need to be more mindful about the security of your Windows operating system. If you employ legitimate anti-malware software, your system’s security will be taken care of automatically, and you will not need to worry about ransomware and other types of malware invading the system again. The best part is that this software can also automatically delete existing threats. If you are thinking about taking on the task yourself, please make sure that you identify and remove the right files.
