How to remove 32T ransomware and recover encrypted files

Guide to delete 32T ransomware and decrypt .32T files

32T ransomware is malware from Amnesia ransomware family. The malware is designed to encrypt stored files and then demand ransom payment for the decryption. In other words, the victims affected by this malware will lose access to their crucial files and they are asked to pay money to get the files in earlier accessible condition.

During the encryption process, the ransomware renames the filenames of each of the encrypted files with a random character and .32T extension. For example, a file 1.jpg would appear something similar to “2g000000001ambDKNTIRyiLCJE9+A7LF.32T”. Rightly after this, the ransomware drops “RECOVER-FILES.HTML” with ransom demanding note on each encrypted file containing folders.

The ransom demanding message informs the victims about the system attacks and the files encryption that is happened as a result of this. As per the message, the only way to recover the files is to acquire the decryption tool from the crooks behind the infection. To initiate the recovery process, they are asked to download Tor browser and open a file with “Yes, I want to buy button” in it.

Unfortunately, in many cases with system infection with ransomware-type infections, without the involvement of the crooks behind the ransomware – the files recovery is not possible. It might be when the malware is at its development stage or has some flaws/ bugs in it. Whatever be the case, you are highly not recommended to pay/ contact to the crooks.

Since often, despite paying the demanded sum, the victims receive no decryption tool. Thus, they suffer financial loss and their files remain at encrypted form. Removing 32T ransomware from the system will prevent further files encryption. However, it does nothing to the files that are already infected. The only solution to get the encrypted files back is to remove 32T ransomware and use existing backup you have.

There is an option in the form of Shadow Copies available for you if ransomware does not bear the potential to run PowerShell or other such commands using which these automatically created backups from OS is deleted during the system attack and files encryption process. Data recovery tools are other data recovery option available for you.

Before using any of the stated methods, remove 32T ransomware or otherwise, it will interfere and interfere during the files recovery process. It might corrupt the tool you are using for the data recovery. So, the virus removal process is the initial and crucial in the files recovery. Below the post, you will find complete guide to remove 32T ransomware from the system.

How did 32T ransomware infiltrate my systems?

Ransomware and other malicious malware are often distributed via spam campaigns –mass scale operation during which thousands of spam emails are designed and delivered. The letters contain download links of infectious files or links of such files are attached to them. These files are usually in any formats, such as malicious Microsoft Office Documents, PDFs, Archives, JavaScript and so on. When these files are executed, run or otherwise opened- the infection process is jumpstarted.

Malware can be disguised or bundled with regular software and are distributed through various untrustworthy channels such as p2p networks, free file hosting sites and third party downloaders/ installers. Illegal activation tools and fake updaters are the prime example of this. Cracking tools cause system infection by allegedly bypassing activation keys of paid software. Fake updating tools exploit bugs/ flaws of outdated software or cause direct download of malware instead of providing updates.
