Working with decrypted files
Here we’re watching the files being decrypted as you can see we downloaded the de-cryptor. It provided a key which what you guys saw and then when you run the program there it goes. You got yourself a A-Z ofanthe tutorial of the actual paying the ransom and getting your stuff decrypted. There is a lot of tutorials out there on how to remove the virus. Which is not a problem at all malware bytes we did that and then we also ran Hitman Pro, pretty much most anti-virus will get it out.
But the big question here was you know do these guys comply and how complex is the process? It is a little complicated and risky because you can wind up losing your bit coin in the process. Of course this is just you know one tutorial of whatever hacker sent me this.
What is going on
This could be hundreds, thousands of different hackers sending these. Or encrypting sending these viruses out to you. Some of them might not be legit. It might just take your money and that’s the end of that. But they do have an incentive to give you your stuff back. Because for example, this video here I am probably going to get complaints saying hey you’re promoting the payment. You are promoting how to do it and you’re feeding into the problem.
That’s one way to look at it. Two is having some people you know we’ll pay the 5 hundred thousand dollars they really need their stuff back, it’s a business and this is going to help those people number one. One single example of yes getting our stuff back looks like i must still wait to the end you know till the fat lady sing, right? So for what it’s worth maybe I’ll get some thumbs up, maybe I’ll get some thumbs down but at least all the information is here and thanks for watching I’ll follow up with a little finalization at the end open up some files and stuff like that.
