'Payfornature@india.com' Ransomware

The Payfornature@india.com Ransomware is a ransomware encryption Trojan. The Payfornature@india.com Ransomware demands the payment of a large amount after encrypting the victim's computer. The Payfornature@india.com Ransomware's ransom note is particularly blatant, blaming the victim for not being careful with their computers security, apart from asking for a large ransom. The Payfornature@india.com Ransomware's ransom amount is 3 BitCoin, which is more than $2000 USD on average at the current exchange rates. The Payfornature@india.com Ransomware also claims that if the victim does not pay the ransom within 24 hours, the amount is elevated to 5 BitCoin, approximately $3400 USD! Of course, paying such an elevated ransom is out of the reach of most computer users, although some businesses would gladly pay this amount to get their files back. PC security analysts strongly advise against paying the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware's ransom. Paying this large amount helps con artists continue to create threats like the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware. The con artists may ignore the victim after the ransom is paid, or even attempt to ask for even more money, rather than honoring their promise to restore the victim's files.

Unfolding the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware Attack

The Payfornature@india.com Ransomware attack is quite effective, using a strong encryption algorithm to encrypt the victim's data. Once the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware attacks a computer, it is difficult to remove the damage this threat does to the victim's data. Without access to the decryption key (held by the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware's developers), computer users cannot restore their files. Essentially, the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware takes the victim's computer hostage by making all of the files inaccessible.

When the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware enters a computer, it does not make its presence known. The Payfornature@india.com Ransomware runs in the background encrypting the victim's files. The Payfornature@india.com Ransomware encrypts all types of files, including videos, photos, documents and music. Files encrypted by the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware can be recognized because the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware changes the file names by adding an extension that contains an identification number and the Payfornature@india.com email address. The Payfornature@india.com Ransomware is part of a large family of encryption ransomware threats that use the india.com email addresses, demand very elevated ransom amounts, and use very short ransom notes. Once the victim's files are encrypted, the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware displays a ransom note informing the victims that they need to contact this email address for further instructions.

How the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware may Enter a Computer

The Payfornature@india.com Ransomware can spread in a wide variety of ways. The most common distribution method for the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware is the use of corrupted email attachments. Con artists will send these emails directly. In most cases, the messages are identified as spam, but they may avoid the spam filter and arrive in the victim's inbox. Computer users need avoid downloading attachments or clicking on links included in messages from unknown senders. Use a strong anti-malware program that can intercept the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware before it begins encrypting your files. The Payfornature@india.com Ransomware and similar threats also may spread through peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks on through corrupted websites to which computer users may be redirected using threatening scripts and other commonly available methods.

Dealing with the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware

The best way to become invulnerable to the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware and similar attacks is to backup all files regularly. If computer users can restore their files from a backup, then they will have no need to pay the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware ransom after an attack. In fact, if backing up files becomes a commonplace, then these types of infections will become completely ineffective. If recovering files from a backup is not an option, then there is not much a computer user can do to restore the encrypted files. Computer users are advised to use a reliable anti-malware program to remove the Payfornature@india.com Ransomware infection itself. There may be some limited success with file recovery programs to restore part of the encrypted files.
