How to remove devious STOP Moresa Ransomware from system?


Guide to Remove Moresa Ransomware

The variants of the infamous DJVU (STOP)Ransomware seem to be plundering the cyber-world enormously. Another active variant of STOP, Moresa Ransomware, has recently been reported by the cyber-security analysts.

Moresa Ransomware

The attack of the Moresa Ransomware begins with the encryption of files with strong Encryption Algorithms. After scrutinizing the system for the targeted files, it encrypts the files & appends .moresa extension to the file names. Hence, renders the files unusable & inaccessible to the users.

If you find your files locked by Moresa crypto virus, please note that you cannot restore the encrypted data manually. A unique decryption key, which is stored on the hacker’s server, is required to restore the data.

The decryption key may be obtained only after the ransom amount has been paid to the hackers. However, paying the ransom may not yield positive results. Research analysis has revealed that hackers avoid the victims once the ransom has been received.

Following the successful encryption, a ransom note (a text file) is dropped on the victim’s system. The note prompts the victims to pay the ransom amount in order to restore the data. Failing to pay the ransom in prescribed time, may lead to the permanent deletion of files by the hackers.
