What is Qinynore Ransomware?
No one wants to get infected with Qinynore Ransomware. And yet, some individuals, unfortunately, may find their systems infected with this dangerous program. What are we supposed to do then? The most important thing is to keep the panic at bay because panicking leads to rash and irrational decisions. We don’t want any of them when it comes to financial decisions. Next, it is necessary to remove Qinynore Ransomware from your system as soon as possible. It might be challenging, but you can easily terminate this infection with a powerful antispyware tool. By investing in a legitimate security application, you would also secure your system from similar infections in the future.
Where does Qinynore Ransomware come from?
Perhaps one of the main problems with ransomware infections is that we can determine their origins and the malware family that they come from, but it is hard to pin point the exact distribution vector. The same applies to Qinynore Ransomware, too.
When we look at the code of this infection, we can see that it was coded in the .NET programming language, and it shares code similarities with the Hidden Tear Ransomware. The truth is that there are countless ransomware infections based on the Hidden Tear code. That’s because this code was available in public for anyone who could access it on the darknet. However, just because there are multiple programs that share similar codes, it doesn’t mean that we can apply the same decryption tools for the files encrypted by related ransomware programs.
Unfortunately, each program requires a unique decryption tool, and the same goes for Qinynore Ransomware. Since this program was released in September 2018, it is very likely that the public decryption tool has been created by now. If not, there should be other ways to restore your files.
Of course, it would be perfect if it were possible to avoid the Qinynore Ransomware infection in the first place. It is possible to do, but you have to be really attentive when you interactive with unfamiliar messages in your inbox. After all, this infection usually spreads through spam email attachments, and it means that they reach users directly.
It is also a lot more likely that Qinynore Ransomware will target small businesses rather than individual users. Small businesses are more likely to pay the ransom fee because they might have not their data backed up, and they would need to get it back no matter what. However, paying the ransom wouldn’t solve anything, and we will tell you why.
What does Qinynore Ransomware do?
Of course, it goes without saying that Qinynore Ransomware encrypts most of the common file types, and once the encryption is complete, it is not possible to open the files anymore. All the affected files will have the ANONYMOUS extension added to the filenames, although you don’t need this extension to see that the files have changed: their icons will look different because the system will no longer be able to read them.
The program will also display a ransom note that will say the following:
Files has been encrypted with Qinynore ransomware, a Russian Hacker organization in association with anonymous.
Send me some bitcoins or say goodbye to your files
Note: Don't try to be smart, if you are seeing this it means that even if your antivirus detect the virus the files are already encryped.
Even If you can't see time is still counting, do not forget, 5 hours to pay since you got infected
Of course, it sounds like you have to transfer the ransom fee immediately, and this is the only way to restore your files. But our research team has found that the Bitcoin wallet address given in the ransom note is not valid, and so there is no way for these criminals to receive the payment. Consequently, paying cannot solve anything.
