Remove Nile Ransomware And Decrypt Locked Data

Complete Guideline To Delete Nile Ransomware

Nile Ransomware is another destructive crypto-malware that locks users’ essential files and marks the data with “.nile” extension. Once the encryption is completed, this pernicious virus asks for an amount of ransom in exchange for the decryption software. However, it’s a new variant of well-known Djvu ransomware which is known to be hazardous and non-decryptable at the moment. Earlier versions of the family had more vulnerabilities, but the update to the code and functions allowed hackers to accomplish their motives more easily. This notorious threat mainly employs online IDs when the encryption takes place and hence, it’s not decryptable.

Know More About Nile Ransomware:

Nile Ransomware employs a strong and effective cryptography to lock the targeted files and makes them completely inaccessible. After that, victims receive the ransom note in “_Readme.txt” file and encouraged to pay the ransom in order to get the required software. They can pay up by writing to the attackers via the provided e-mail addresses. Cybercriminals promise to decrypt the encrypted files as soon as they receive the payment. The size of the payment is either $980 or $490, depends on how quickly victims contact the attackers.

Nile Ransomware uses a disguise while locking victim’s files. It opens a fake Windows update screen to trick people into believing that their systems are not infected. Unfortunately, this precarious technique helps the virus to encrypt data and modify Windows hosts file to block the connection to security websites. In other words, after successful encryption the affected people cannot open their files or visit security pages online for help. Instead, they are provided with a ransom note that claims that the only way to restore files is to purchase the decryption tool from the cybercriminals.

Should You Deal With the Attackers?

Paying ransom to the criminals will only encourage them to cause more such attacks for further revenues. And therefore, never consider dealing with them and try to perform an instant removal of Nile Ransomware from the device.

Beware as hackers may provide you fraudulent software in the name of decryption tool which only causes more hazards to the system upon getting installed. In order to deal with such precarious situation, it is highly recommended to keep making regular backups.

These are the primary crypto-virus distribution sources that most commonly help penetrate the malware in the work-station. Although, there are a few steps to follow if you want to protect your device from such attacks.

First, carefully watch what e-mails you open. The majority of malware developers create electronic letters that replicate notifications from popular companies or services. They include a malevolent link that triggers the automatic installation of ransomware and convince users to tap on it to supposedly execute essential actions for their accounts. Ignore such e-mails and avoid clicking on any content in it.
