Remove 1ohe ransomware from PC (+ File Decryption Methods)

Effective measures to delete 1ohe ransomware

1ohe ransomware is a kind of malware infection that is a new variant of the Spora ransomware. This malware is mainly designed to makes the files completely useless by encrypting them. It then demands huge amount of ransom money for the decryption tool to restore or access encoded files. It has the ability to lock all types of files such as videos, pictures, audios, databases and other files found on the computer.

More about 1ohe ransomware

It renames the files by appending the victim’s ID, [email protected] email address and the “.1ohe” extension to the end of encrypted filenames. After completed the encryption process, this ransomware generates two ransom notes named “ReadMe_Now!.hta” and “Read_Me!_.txt” and dropped on victim’s dekstop in order to inform them about encryption and demands ransom money.

Both created note contains ransom-demanding message which inform victims that their all files are encrypted using powerful encryption algorithms and without purchasing decryption tools they cannot be restored. In order to know how to decrypt files and other similar instructions, victims must contact to its developers by sending an email to the provided email address within 48 hours.

In case, the time exceed, the price of decryption tools will be doubled. Typically, the price of tool is not mentioned, it only depends on victims how fast they contact to the criminals. Moreover, users are offered free decryption test of one encrypted file before paying ransom. Last but not the least, the note ends with warning messages.

Users are warned not to attempt to rename files or decrypt them using third-party tools or software as it might results into permanent data damage. Whatever the case, it is not recommended to pay a ransom. The main reason behind this is that attackers behind this may not send a decryption tool even after just received ransom money. Typically, they disappear leaving the victims without their files.

Thus, you should use some alternatives for the data recovery such as backups. Before using this, remove 1ohe ransomware from the computer using some reliable antivirus removal tool to avoid this malware encrypting new file. In case, if you have no backups then you can use data recovery tools for the data recovery.

How did ransomware infect my computer?

Ransomware threats like 1ohe ransomware and other malware are mostly spread through spam email campaigns, untrustworthy freeware download websites, cracked software, fake software updating tools, Trojans and many more.

Cyber criminals behind this ransomware use automated software to send lots of fake/scam emails. They might seem legitimate but they can carry malicious attachments and links. Opening those files even accidentally leads into the installation of malware.

To avoid this, do not open attachments and links present in irrelevant emails especailly if they are sent from unknown, suspicious addresses. Further, use only official pages and direct links to download software/files.
