What is Revon Ransomware?
Revon Ransomware is a malicious application that encrypts databases, pictures, videos, various documents, and other files that could be personal or valuable. Since the malware uses a strong encryption system, files that get encrypted become unreadable. Unfortunately, if your computer cannot read your files, it cannot open them. The process could be reversed, but in order to do it you would need unique decryption tools that only the malicious application’s creators have. Victims of this malware should see a note in which the hackers ask to pay ransom and promise to deliver the needed decryption tools in exchange. If you want to learn why we do not recommend putting up with their demands as well as more information about the malware, we encourage you to read the rest on this article. If you are looking for instructions on how to delete Revon Ransomware, you should check the steps available below this text too.
Where does Revon Ransomware come from?
There are a lot of ways to encounter a threat like Revon Ransomware. Our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com Say that one of the most popular ways to distribute such malicious applications is to share them on unreliable websites. For example, the malware’s installer could be disguised as a system update, game crack, legit application, and so on. Thus, users who download such threats do so without realizing it. You can also infect your system unknowingly if you open suspicious email attachments. As you see, sending spam emails with attached malicious installers that could be disguised as pictures or documents is another popular way to spread malicious applications like Revon Ransomware. Therefore, we recommend scanning attachments from unknown senders or data received under suspicious circumstances with a legitimate antimalware tool if you want to avoid infecting your system accidentally.
How does Revon Ransomware work?
At first Revon Ransomware should create files that would allow it to restart with the operating system and make it difficult to erase it. Afterward the malicious application should start encrypting files that do not belong to the operating system or other software. During this process targeted files should not only become unreadable but also receive a second extension that is unique for each infected device. For example, a file called picture.jpg could become picture.jpg.id[5Q9R090Q-9725].[werichbin@protonmail.com].revon after it gets encrypted by this threat.
Next, Revon Ransomware should create a file containing the hackers’ ransom note. In this document you should find a short message explaining how you could contact the threat’s creators. Also, the malware should display a pop-up window that ought to contain a ransom note with more instructions. According to it, users can send one chosen file for free decryption to get proof that the offered decryption tools exist. The note should say that the price of such tools will depend on how fast users contact the malicious application’s developers and that users should pay ransom in Bitcoins. The reason we do not recommend doing what the ransom note says is because you cannot know for sure that cybercriminals will hold on to their end of the bargain. In other words, there is a risk that you could get scammed. Besides, if you have backup copies and can replace encrypted files, you could get your data back without the decryption tools.
