Remove Dts ransomware: Open Encrypted Files

Dts ransomware: Step-by-step Uninstall Guide

Dts ransomware is a hazardous file-encrypting virus that locks users’ data and puts them hostage until the attackers are paid a hefty sum of ransom. In general, the criminals demand payment in a form of cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin. Belonging to the family of Dharma ransomware, this precarious crypto-malware can contaminate almost all types of files including audios, videos, images, documents, PDFs, etc. and makes victims unable to access them again. The Dts virus also renames the infected files by adding victims’ unique ID, attackers’ email address, and appending “.dts” extension with each of them.

Dts ransomware Asks Victims To Contact Attackers:

Following successful encryption, Dts ransomware displays couple of ransom notes in a pop-up window and “info.txt” text file and informs victims regarding the attack. They are also instructed to contact the attackers via [email protected] and [email protected] email addresses to start the recovery process. At the end, you may have to pay the offenders a ransom amount of $200 to $1500 in Bitcoins to acquire the decryption tools. Victims are also warned against renaming the encrypted files or attempting to decrypt them using third-party tools, or else, it may lead to permanent data loss.

Paying Ransom Never Works:

If you are considering dealing with Dts ransomware operators, we suggest not doing so as it won’t result positive. Remember, these hackers can’t be trusted as their only objective is to extort illicit money from the victimized users. There are multiple occasions when crooks ignored victims and caused them to lose both files as well as money. Additionally, paying ransom to such people will only raise their confidence, and they will surely try to trigger more such attacks for more profits. So, never do so and focus on Dts ransomware removal from the computer immediately.

Recover Data From Backups:

As far as restoring the encrypted files, the best way to do so is by using a proper backup created before the attack and stored on any external location. It is highly recommended to keep making regular backups of your important files and documents which could be very useful in restoring the compromised data. Nonetheless, even if you don’t have an appropriate backup, you can still recover your files by using a third-party data-recovery software. These recovery tools don’t always provide the best result but can still be very handy.

Penetration Of Dts ransomware:

There are several different ways that Dts ransomware or other crypto-viruses can infect your work-station. One of the most common methods today is through malspam campaign during which, numerous unsolicited emails are sent by cyber criminals aiming to deliver malware. These phishing mails usually contain booby-trapped attachments such as executables (.exe, .run, etc.), archives (ZIP, RAR, etc.), PDF and Microsoft Office documents, JavaScript, and so on. It might also include link to malicious websites.

Deceptive email use social engineering to trick recipients into opening attachments or clicking on links by pretending as legitimate. They might seem to be from a trusted friend or legitimate company or other entities. As soon as the vicious attachments is opened or executed, it triggers the installation of virus. Therefore, it is crucial to not open the dubious or irrelevant emails, especially any attachments or links found in them. Moreover, choose only official and verified sources for your downloads, and activate/update tools or functions provided by genuine developers only. If your PC is already contaminated with this hazardous threat, you must remove Dts ransomware from the machine without wasting any time.
