Trump infection: specifics and distribution

Trump Ransomware is a very specific type of malware, which sets it apart from most known online viruses and threats you may encounter. It falls into the category of the infamous Ransomware and as one of its newest representatives, this cryptovirus comes with a strong encryption algorithm and sophisticated distribution methods. Generally, Trump is developed to silently get inside your machine, infiltrate its hard drives and apply an encryption to all the files found on the drives. Once encrypted, these files won’t be accessible anymore, no matter what program you may try to open them with. The only way to decrypt them is with the help of a special decryption key, which will bring the files back to their previous state. But as you may guess, this key is not openly available and the hackers behind the ransomware would “generously” offer you to trade it for a fat amount of money paid as ransom. They inform you of the same with a disturbing ransom note on the screen once the encryption process is completed. There, you may find a message from the crooks asking you to pay a certain sum in Bitcoins and a timer with a deadline.

The infection with Trump usually happens in a very stealthy way. The hackers place this threat in seemingly legitimate email messages with attachments. They rely on your curiosity to click on the well-masked files, images, links or documents they contain and this way get you infected. A Trojan horse is also used to deliver the ransomware to your machine. It creates security holes, where the threat may sneak in undetected. That’s why it is extremely important to ensure maximum system protection with reputable antivirus software, which is able to signalize the presence of any hidden hazards on time. Also, avoid clicking on random messages, pop-ups or spam emails, because you never know where the threat may come from.

What options do you have, once the encryption has taken place?

Practically, there are two options you need to think of when it comes to a Ransomware infection: you can either pay the ransom and hope for a decryption key or remove the infection and try to restore your files on your own. Both options have their risk and it is up to you to decide what is best in your case. If you decide to pay, we should warn you that there is a great risk that you may not receive the decryption key you’ve paid for. Usually, the hackers vanish the moment they get their money and you are left with nothing but empty pockets and encrypted files. In other cases, the decryption key doesn’t work and again you are left with no option but to seek for other methods to decrypt your files. Unfortunately, returning your money is impossible because the Bitcoin payments that the hackers want you to make are untraceable. The hope is that some of the file encryptions are decryptable and many security experts are working day and night to help people get their files back by combating the cunning ransomware codes. A list of such decryptors can be found on our web page, which is regularly updated. However, coming up with a decryption solution takes some time, especially for new threats like Trump. Something you could try right now, however, is to remove the malware from your system and try to restore some of your files from system backups, external drives or a cloud you may keep them on. The removal guide below will show you how to detect Trump and manually delete all its traces.
