The 7ev3n Ransomware Demands a Very Expensive Ransom

The 7ev3n Ransomware will encrypt the victims' files, changing their extension to R5A and deleting all Shadow Volume copies. Once the victim's files are encrypted, the 7ev3n Ransomware displays a pop-up message informing the victim on how to pay the 7ev3n Ransomware's ransom using BitCoin. The 7ev3n Ransomware demands payment of an extraordinarily elevated ransom in exchange for the decryption key. The 7ev3n Ransomware pop-up message claims that if the ransom isn't paid within a certain time frame, the decryption key will be deleted. Without the decryption key, it is nearly impossible to recover encrypted files.

Why the 7ev3n Ransomware Victims shouldn’t Pay the Ransom

The 7ev3n Ransomware demands the payment of 13 BitCoin, which currently is more than five thousand USD! Almost all Ransomware Trojans demand ransoms of $500 to $1000 USD, so such an elevated amount is practically unheard of when it comes to these kinds of threats. According to the 7ev3n Ransomware message, victims have 96 hours to pay the ransom before their files are lost forever. PC security researchers strongly advise computer users against paying the 7ev3n Ransomware ransom. This allows con artists to continue carrying out their attacks and profit at your expense.

The following is the text of the 7ev3n Ransomware message:

Warning, do not try to get rid of this program, any action taken will result in decryption key being destroyed, you will lose your files forever, one way to get you files os to follow that instructions. In case of non-payment reserve the right to publicly publish all encrypted files.

What is the Objective of Threats such as the 7ev3n Ransomware

Most ransomware Trojans currently active follow identical strategies to take money from computer users. Their attacks typically demand computer users to pay to decrypt their files. Even if the computer users pay the ransom, there is no guarantee that they will recover their files. Since it is so difficult to recover from a 7ev3n Ransomware attack, the best approach to dealing with these infections is prevention. Malware researchers advise computer users to backup all their files on an external memory device or the cloud and use a strong anti-malware application to protect their computers from intrusion.
