7ev3n Ransomware is a virus that encrypts your files and demands a ransom for their decryption.

History

7ev3n Ransomware was first discovered in June 2016. It is believed to have been created by the same people who created the Locky Ransomware. 7ev3n Ransomware is distributed through phishing emails that contain malicious attachments or links. The email may masquerade as coming from a legitimate company or individual, and the attachment or link may claim to be an invoice, receipt, or something else innocuous.

Prevention

To prevent 7ev3n from infecting your computer, you should take the following precautions:- Do not open email attachments from unknown senders. If you must open the attachment, scan it with an antivirus program first.- Do not click on links in email messages from unknown senders.- Do not download email attachments from untrustworthy websites.- Keep your antivirus program up to date and run regular scans.- Install an anti-malware program such as Malwarebytes.- Have strong passwords for all your accounts and never reuse passwords.- Back up your files regularly to an external hard drive or cloud storage.

What should you do to recover your data?

First, you should check to see if 7ev3n has left any decryptable files behind. This virus is not perfect and sometimes leaves files that can be decrypted without paying the ransom. There are a few programs that can do this, such as 7ev3n Ransomware Decrypter or 7ev3n Ransomware Recovery.If you cannot find any decryptable files, your next best bet is to try and restore your data from a backup. This will only work if you have a recent backup that 7ev3n Ransomware has not detected and deleted. If you do have a backup, you can restore your data using 7ev3n Ransomware Recovery or 7ev3n Ransomware Decrypter.Finally, if you have no luck with the above methods, you can try paying the ransom. 7ev3n virus uses strong encryption, so there is no guarantee that your files will be decrypted even if you pay the ransom. However, some people have had success with this method. If you do decide to pay the ransom, 7ev3n Ransomware Recovery or 7ev3n Ransomware Decrypter can help you with the process.
