Redmat Ransomware | How to Remove it from your system?
Understanding Redmat Ransomware
Redmat Ransomware is a nasty variant of the STOP File-Encrypting
Virus that has recently been discovered. Just like other variants, Redmat has
been developed to generate illicit revenue by extorting ransom from the victims.
This clan of the Ransomware is
considered as the most wide-spread malware as it uses multiple spread channels
& methods. One of the prime distribution methods of Redmat Crypto Virus is
Spam E-mail Campaigns.
Once the system is infected, Redmat
searches every nook & corner of the system for the targeted files. Upon
locating the files, it encrypts them by adding .redmat extension to the file
names. Hence, it renders the files unusable to the users.
The files once encrypted by stop redmat
Ransomware cannot be restored easily. Decrypting the files need a unique
private key that is stored on the hacker’s server.
In order to get the decryption key,
the victims are required to pay hefty amount to the hackers as ransom.
Cyber Security analysts have found
that paying the ransom doesn’t always yield positive results. On receiving the
ransom, hackers often tend to avoid the victims.
