Usually in the case of ransomware infection, there is a unique decryption tool exists needed for the files recovery. Also, this is true that the crooks are the only people who have the right decryption. But at the same time, this can’t be denied that these people are not reliable – they may provide no decryption tool and you will suffer huge financial loss. So, do not pay/ contact the crooks under any circumstances.

Instead, use some reliable data recovery alternatives available for the files recovery. Before that, use some reputable antivirus tool and remove Taleb Ransomware from the system. This will prevent further files encryption and avoid possible system damages. For the files recovery, use the existing backups you have and restore all encrypted files.

If you have no backup option available, once check if Shadow Copies exist. These automatically created backups from Windows OS sometimes left untouched by ransomware viruses. Below the post, you will find the guides how you can check if this option available or not and also the complete steps to recover files using the shadow copies. Use data recovery from third party if this option is found to be deleted.

How did Taleb Ransomware enter my system?

In most cases, users infect systems with ransomware through Trojans, spam emails, unreliable sources, software cracking tools, and fake software updaters. Trojans are malicious malware designed to cause chain infection. Emails used to distribute malware have infectious files or links inside them. Recipients install malware after opening those malicious files.

Untrustworthy downloading channels such as p2p networks, free file hosting sites, third party downloaders/ installers often spread malware by presenting it as legit software. Cracking tools infect systems by supposedly activating licensed programs. Fake software updaters exploit bugs/ flaws of outdated software and/or cause system infection by direct downloading malware, instead of promised updates.

How to prevent ransomware infection?

Files and programs should be downloaded from official sites. Email attachments or website links in any irrelevant emails sent from unknown, suspicious addresses should never be opened. Installed software should have to be updated and activated using tools/ functions from legit developers. A computer should be scanned for threats on regular basis and this should be done using powerful antivirus tool, by keeping it updated.
