n1n1n1 Ransomware Data Recovery

What is n1n1n1 Ransomware?

n1n1n1 is a type of malware that encrypts your files and demands a ransom to decrypt them. This ransomware is unique in that it uses the n1n1n1 cipher, which is a variation of the RSA algorithm, to encrypt your files. This makes it very difficult to decrypt your files without the proper decryption key.

How does n1n1n1 Ransomware work?

It works by first encrypting your files using the n1n1n1 cipher. Once your files are encrypted, the ransomware will display a ransom note on your screen that demands you pay a certain amount of money to decrypt your files. The ransom note will also provide you with instructions on how to make the payment.

Ransom note:

“Your files have been encrypted!

To decrypt them, you must pay a ransom of $500.

You can make the payment through Bitcoin, PayPal, or Western Union.

If you have any questions, you can contact us at n1n1n1ransomware@gmail.com.”

How do I get n1n1n1 Ransomware?

Attackers usually spread this ransomware through email attachments or malicious websites. They can also spread it through peer-to-peer networks and infected USB drives.

What types of files does n1n1n1 Ransomware encrypt?

It will generally encrypt all types of files on your computer. However, it has been known to target specific file types, such as documents, spreadsheets, and images.

History

n1n1n1 was first discovered in February 2018. It is believed to be a variant of the CryptXXX Ransomware.

The biggest n1n1n1 Ransomware attack occurred in May 2018, when the ransomware encrypted the files of a Japanese company called Nippon Steel. The attackers demanded a ransom of $1 million to decrypt the files.

Victims of n1n1n1 Ransomware have reported that the ransomware is very difficult to remove and that it often leaves behind encrypted files even after the ransom has been paid.

Prevention

There are several things you can do to prevent this ransomware from infecting your computer:

  • Keep your operating system and software up-to-date: Attackers often exploit vulnerabilities in outdated software to spread malware. Therefore, it’s important to keep your operating system and software up-to-date with the latest security patches.
  • Don’t open email attachments from unknown senders: Email is one of the most common ways that n1n1n1 Ransomware is spread. Be wary of email attachments from unknown senders, even if they seem innocuous.
  • Don’t click on links in email messages: Links in email messages can also be used to spread this ransomware. If you receive an email from an unknown sender, do not click on any links in the message.
  • Use a reputable antivirus program: Antivirus programs can detect and remove n1n1n1 from your computer. Be sure to use a reputable program that is up-to-date with the latest virus definitions.
  • Use caution when browsing the web: Malicious websites can infect your computer with n1n1n1 Ransomware. Avoid clicking on links or downloading files from suspect websites.

What should you do?

If you’re infected, the first thing you should do is disconnect your computer from the internet to prevent the ransomware from encrypting any more files. Then, run a reputable antivirus program to remove the ransomware from your computer. Finally, restore your files from a backup, if you have one.

 

If you don’t have a backup, you may be able to decrypt your files using a decryption tool. However, these tools are not always effective and they can sometimes cause more harm than good. Therefore, it’s best to use them as a last resort.

Public decryption tool

Unfortunately, there is no free n1n1n1 Ransomware decryptor available at the moment. However, the developer of n1n1n1 Ransomware has made a decryptor available for victims who wish to purchase it.

Should you pay the ransom?

Paying the ransom is not recommended, as there is no guarantee that you will receive a working decryptor even if you do pay. In addition, by paying the ransom, you will be supporting the attackers’ business and encouraging them to continue their activities.
