The Unwanted Help of the 'Help_you@india.com' Ransomware

While most ransomware Trojans provide victims with a lot of information on what has happened and how to pay, the 'Help_you@india.com' Ransomware does not do this. The 'Help_you@india.com' Ransomware merely states that the victim's files are encrypted and provides its email address so that the victims can contact the con artists responsible for developing the 'Help_you@india.com' Ransomware. Rather than using an anonymous email account on TOR, like other ransomware Trojans, the 'Help_you@india.com' Ransomware uses an email address that is accessible publicly. This detail has made some PC security analysts suspect that the con artists responsible for the attack are amateurs. Despite this, recovering the files encrypted by the 'Help_you@india.com' Ransomware without the decryption key may not be possible currently. The con artists hold this decryption key until the victim pays the ransom. Ransoms for these infections are usually paid in BitCoins and tend to vary between 0.5 and 1.5 BitCoins, which on average range from $300 to $900 USD. PC security analysts strongly advise against paying the'Help_you@india.com' Ransomware ransom. The people responsible for these attacks will rarely honor their word, and it is not uncommon for these extortionists to ignore their victims. It may not be attainable to decrypt files affected by the 'Help_you@india.com' Ransomware. However, the best measures for dealing with the 'Help_you@india.com' Ransomware are preemptive.
