How to remove Decryptmyfiles.top ransomware and restore encrypted files
Complete tips to delete Decryptmyfiles.top ransomware and retrieve data
Ransomware type infection prevents users from accessing crucial files stored on the system and generates ransom demands. Very often, they modify filenames of encrypted files as well. The Decryptmyfiles.top ransomware malware encrypts files and renames with .decryptmyfiles.top and victims associated ID as extension. For example, a file 1.jpg would become “1.jpg.[decryptmyfiles.top].9B6FCA53”, “2.jpg” become “2.jpg.[decryptmyfiles.top].9B6FCA53”, and so on. Upon that, the ransomware creates FILES ENCRYPTED.txt text file and drops a pop-up window as its ransom notes.
The ransom notes contain the alleged instruction on how to contact the attackers, pay them for the decryption tool and some other details. They inform the users that there is no way to decrypt the files without the unique decryption tool that the crooks behind the Decryptmyfiles.top ransomware have. To purchase this decryption, they are asked to follow instructions provided a Tor website whose link is mentioned in the ransom messages. Additionally, the victims are warned not to rename the files or try to decrypt them using third-party software as it may damage encrypted files.
Prior to the payment, the victims are offered free decryption tool – they can upload one file for the test to the Tor website. The decryption tool costs $300 which is to be paid in DASH cryptocurrency. However, there is a timer in both the ransom notes that count the time remaining for increasing in the price of the decryption tool to $600. In such cases, it is possible to decryption the files without paying- using some third party tools or via backups in the form of USB or automatically created backups. So, it is worthless to pay ransom fee for that.
Paying/ contacting to the crooks are also not recommended as it often been seen that crooks provide no decryption tool even if all their demands are met.
