Roga Ransomware

What is Roga Ransomware?

The cyber criminals who created Roga Ransomware seek to extort money from users while encrypting most valuable data and making impossible to access it. Currently, users might be asked to pay around 20 British Pounds; thus, compared to other similar malware the demanded ransom is not so huge. Nevertheless, our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com do not recommend paying it, because there are no reassurances the files will be decrypted as it is promised. In other words, even if you put up with the cyber criminal’s demands, you might still be unable to access enciphered data. Therefore, if you do not like the idea you could lose some money in addition to the malicious application’s affected files, we urge you to eliminate Roga Ransomware either with a reliable antimalware tool or by following the instructions located below the article.testtest

Where does Roga Ransomware come from?

Our researchers learned that Roga Ransomware could be distributed through Spam emails. To be more precise, users might receive it with malicious files attached to suspicious emails. To confuse the user or make it more difficult for him to identify such attachments as dangerous, the malware’s developers could make them look like pictures, videos, various documents, etc. Probably, the only way to protect the computer from such threats is to avoid opening questionable files. However, if you receive lots of data via email, it might be easier to keep a legitimate antimalware tool so you could scan files you suspect to be dangerous. The tool may also warn users itself if they launch malicious data.

How does Roga Ransomware work?

So far we do not know what cryptosystem is used to encipher data, but we can tell you that the infection should target your photos, images, text files or other documents, video files, and so on. What’s more, it looks like Roga Ransomware separates affected data by applying an additional extension to it. For example, an encrypted text document could look like text.docx. .madebyadam. As soon as all targeted files are enciphered the malware should show you a ransom note, which redirects to a website with further instructions.

The confusing part is that if you follow the link mentioned in Roga Ransomware’s note, you land on a site created for Free-freedom Ransomware. This is because before the infection was called differently until it got this title. Another strange thing about the ransom note is the boxes where you can submit your phone number or address. Needless to say that giving such information to cyber criminals might be not the best idea as they could try to use it in the future to scam you. Also, as we said in the beginning, we advise against paying the ransom since there is a possibility the money might be lost in vain. Consequently, we urge you to look for the file copies you could use to recover affected data and erase the malware to secure the system.
