What is Cry9 Ransomware?
Cry9 is a file-encrypting malware that uses strong encryption algorithms to encrypt victims’ files. This ransomware demands a ransom from victims in exchange for a decryption key that can be used to decrypt the encrypted files. Cry9 Ransomware is a dangerous threat that can cause serious financial damage to victims. You should remove Cry9 from your computer as soon as possible.
How does Cry9 infect your computer?
Cry9 Ransomware usually arrives on victims’ computers disguised as a legitimate email attachment. Once the email is opened, the ransomware will automatically start encrypting files on the computer. The decryption key is only available to the cybercriminals who created the ransomware. Cry9 will display a ransom note on victims’ computers that contains instructions on how to pay the ransom and decrypt the encrypted files.
What types of files does Cry9 encrypt?
Cry9 Ransomware will encrypt a wide variety of file types, including documents, images, videos, and more. The ransomware will add the “.cry9” extension to the end of each encrypted file.
What encryption methods does Cry9 use?
Cry9 Ransomware uses AES and RSA encryption algorithms.
How much is the ransom?
The amount of the ransom varies depending on the victim’s location and the size of the encrypted files.
History
Cry9 was first discovered in August 2016. This ransomware is a variant of the Crysis Ransomware.
The biggest Cry9 Ransomware attack occurred in September 2016, when this ransomware was used to attack South Korean businesses.
Protection
The best way to protect your computer against Cry9 is to install a reputable anti-malware program. You should also keep your operating system and security programs up-to-date. Be cautious when opening email attachments, even if they appear to come from a trusted sender. Do not download or open files that you are not expecting. If you are unsure about a file, contact the sender to verify that it is safe before opening it. Back up your important files regularly to an external hard drive or cloud storage service.
What should you do?
If it infected you with Cry9 Ransomware, you should not try to remove it yourself. Cry9 Ransomware is a very sophisticated piece of malware and removing it without the help of a professional can cause further damage to your computer. It is important to note that Cry9 Ransomware cannot be removed manually. You should also not pay the ransom as there is no guarantee that you will get the decryption key even if you do pay. The best course of action is to restore your files from a backup if you have one. If you don’t have a backup, you can try using file recovery software to recover your files.
