Easy tips to delete Jdtdypub ransomware and decrypt data

Jdtdypub ransomware is a ransomware-type infection from Snatch ransomware family. The malware is designed to encrypt stored files and then demand ransom payment for the decryption, i.e., decryption tool. It appends the filenames of each of the encrypted files with .Jdtdypub extension. For example, a file 1.jpg would appear something similar to “1.jpg.jdtdypub”, “2.jpg” to “2.jpg.jdtdypub”, and so on.

Like most ransomware variants, Jdtdypub ransomware generates a ransom note thereafter. The ransom message is displayed under HOW TO RESTORE YOUR FILES.TXT text file. The malware creates and drops this file on each folder containing the encrypted files. The ransom note provides victims the information such as the email address that they have to use to contact the crooks behind it, price of the decryption tool, payment deadline and various other details. The victims are instructed to send an email to the crooks to initiate this process. Here is the full text presented on the ransom note created by Jdtdypub ransomware:

Hello! All your files are encrypted and only I can decrypt them.

Contact me:

[email protected] or [email protected]

Write me if you want to return your files – I can do it very quickly!

The header of letter must contain extension of encrypted files.

I’m always reply within 24 hours. If not – check spam folder, resend your letter or try send letter from another email service (like protonmail.com).

 How did Jdtdypub ransomware infiltrate my computer?

In often cases, users infect their computers with ransomware or other malicious malware via Trojans, phishing emails, and files downloaded from untrustworthy sources, unofficial software activation tools and fake software updaters. Trojans are malicious malware that cause chain infection on already infected systems. Crooks attempt to trick people into installing a Trojan by disguising it as legit programs. Users infect their systems through phishing emails via opening the presented malicious files/ links of such files. These files could be malicious Microsoft Office Documents, Executables, Archives, JavaScript, PDF documents and etc.

Furthermore, the users can install malware when they open files downloaded through unreliable sources. In most cases, crooks use p2p networks, third party downloaders, free file hosting sites, free download pages to distribute malicious files. It is common that these files look like legitimate, harmless files. Unofficial software activation tools are programs that are expected to activate licensed software. However, users who try to avoid paying for software activating use such tools and infect their systems with malware because these are bundled with malware. Fake software updaters appear legit tool to update/ fix software. However, these tools install malware directly or by exploiting bugs/ flaws of the outdated software installed on the computer.

How to prevent ransomware infection?

Software and files should always be downloaded from official websites and direct links. Download should be done through third-party downloaders, p2p networks or other sources. Attachments or links presented in irrelevant emails received from unknown senders should not be opened. It is common that these tools use email as a channel to deliver malware through the attachment files/ links. Further, installed apps should always be updated/ activated using the tools/ functions provided by official software developers. No third party tools should be used for that. These are malicious and also it is not legal to activate licensed software using unofficial activation tools.
