The Dablio Ransomware is an encryption ransomware Trojan. Threats like the Dablio Ransomware carry out a simple attack that involves taking the victim's files hostage and then requesting a ransom payment from the victim. Despite how simple this attack sounds, it is quite effective. This is because the Dablio Ransomware takes the victim's files hostage by using a strong encryption algorithm to make the victim's files completely inaccessible. Once the victim's files have become inaccessible, the Dablio Ransomware asks the victim to pay a large ransom using an anonymous payment method, such as a digital currency. It is mandatory to take precautions against threats like the Dablio Ransomware, which have become quite common in the wild.

Symptoms of a Dablio Ransomware Infection
The Dablio Ransomware receives its name because it runs as an executable file process named 'Dablio.exe' on the victim's computer. The Dablio Ransomware's main intended targets are home computer users, which sets it apart from ransomware Trojans designed to target Web servers and business networks primarily. The Dablio Ransomware infections were first reported on December 5, 2018. The Dablio Ransomware's attack encrypts the files using a method that makes them easy to recognize because the Dablio Ransomware adds the string '(encrypted)' to each file that has been compromised by the Dablio Ransomware attack. To make the victim's files inaccessible, the Dablio Ransomware uses the AES encryption. This encryption type is, unfortunately, unbreakable with the current technology. The Dablio Ransomware is written using the Python programming language, and it seems to target the user-generated files in its attack. Some examples of the files that the Dablio Ransomware targets in these attacks include files with the following file extensions: '.txt,' '.doc,' '.docx,' '.xls,' '.xlsx,' '.ppt,' '.pptx,' '.odt,' '.jpg,' '.png,' '.csv,' '.sql,' '.mdb,' '.sln,' '.php,' '.asp,' '.aspx,' '.html,' '.xml' and '.psd.'
The Dablio Ransomware’s Ransom Demands
The main purpose of the Dablio Ransomwar is to make it completely impossible to restore the files compromised by the Dablio Ransomware attack. Because of this, the Dablio Ransomware is also designed to remove other features of the Windows operating system that could be used to recover the data compromised by the Dablio Ransomware infection. For example, the Dablio Ransomware is designed to delete the Shadow Volume Copies of any compromised data. The Dablio Ransomware also will remove any System Restore points on the infected computer. Once the victim's files have been encrypted, the Dablio Ransomware delivers a ransom note. The Dablio Ransomware's ransom note takes the form of a program window, where the Dablio Ransomware ransom note text is displayed over a black background. The following is the full text of the Dablio Ransomware ransom note:

Dealing with the Dablio Ransomware Trojan
The experts' advice is that computer users refrain from contacting the criminals responsible for the Dablio Ransomware attack. Instead of doing this, computer users should make sure that they have the means to recover any data that was compromised by this infection. Therefore, the most effective protection against threats like the Dablio Ransomware is to have backup copies of all data. The backup files should be stored on the cloud or an external memory device, out of reach from threats like the Dablio Ransomware. This way, computer users can restore their data in the event of an attack. Apart from data backups, computer users should invest in a security application to protect their PCs from these threats.
