Digital data is one of the most valuable resources nowadays and, naturally, it is also one of the most common targets for computer hackers. One of the most infamous examples of a mass threat that targets the files inside the users’ computers are the representatives of the Ransomware cryptovirus category, with one of their latest representatives being the malicious .Berost. Unlike other malicious types of software, a typical cryptovirus wouldn’t really try to damage the computer’s system itself, nor would it seek to spy on the user or acquire some sensitive personal information and then threaten to make it public. Instead, what a Ransomware cryptovirus does is it locks up all user files found on the computer using a complex data encryption process for the purpose. The infections .Berost, .Sarut, .Dutan, .Roldat, sneaks silently into the machine that it has targeted and the next thing the user knows is that their files can no longer be opened through any regular means. In fact, the thing that’s supposed to be the only way of accessing encrypted data is a corresponding decryption key. Such a key, of course, wouldn’t initially be available to the victims of a Ransomware cryptovirus and would actually be offered to them at a certain price in the form of a ransom payment. The money that the hackers request are typically demanded in the BitCoin currency or in some other similar cryptocurrency. The idea is that this would make the transaction more difficult to trace and would, in turn, allow the blackmailers to remain anonymous and avoid being brought to justice. In other words, this means that once you pay them the money, that money is gone and could never be refunded even in case you don’t’ actually get the key for your locked-up files. Speaking of getting the key, the fact that you’ve paid doesn’t guarantee anything with regards to the recovery of your files. This isn’t a legitimate purchase and regardless of whether you pay or not, there’s still a chance that you may not get to decrypt your files. That’s why, we believe that other options need to be explored in such situations – options that do not involve your risking sizeable amounts of money by offering them to a group of anonymous hackers.
