KillRabbit Ransomware

The KillRabbit Ransomware is an encryption ransomware Trojan, which was first detected on August 8, 2018. The KillRabbit Ransomware is used to carry out a typical version of the encryption ransomware tactic. These attacks function by taking over the victim's computer by encrypting the victim's files using a strong encryption algorithm and then demanding the payment of a ransom from the victim in exchange for the decryption needed to restore the affected files. The KillRabbit Ransomware takes the victim's data hostage and then demands a ransom payment to restore access to the compromised files. The prevention of attacks such as the KillRabbit Ransomware and the protection of the integrity of the data can be accomplished by having anti-malware programs and file backups stored in a secure location.

How You will Know that You Have Been Attacked by the KillRabbit Ransomware

Although the KillRabbit Ransomware operates like most encryption ransomware Trojans, the intended victims of the KillRabbit Ransomware attack have a higher profile than individual users, such as business networks and servers. The KillRabbit Ransomware is effective at encrypting large databases and the content that is associated with high-scale attacks particularly. The KillRabbit Ransomware demands a ransom payment using digital currency to restore the victim's files. The files encrypted by the KillRabbit Ransomware are marked with the file extension '.killrabbit,' added to the file's name. The files the KillRabbit Ransomware will target in these types of attacks include:

.ebd, .jbc, .pst, .ost, .tib, .tbk, .bak, .bac, .abk, .as4, .asd, .ashbak, .backup, .bck, .bdb, .bk1, .bkc, .bkf, .bkp, .boe, .bpa, .bpd, .bup, .cmb, .fbf, .fbw, .fh, .ful, .gho, .ipd, .nb7, .nba, .nbd, .nbf, .nbi, .nbu, .nco, .oeb, .old, .qic, .sn1, .sn2, .sna, .spi, .stg, .uci, .win, .xbk, .iso, .htm, .html, .mht, .p7, .p7c, .pem, .sgn, .sec, .cer, .csr, .djvu, .der, .stl, .crt, .p7b, .pfx, .fb, .fb2, .tif, .tiff, .pdf, .doc, .docx, .docm, .rtf, .xls, .xlsx, .xlsm, .ppt, .pptx, .ppsx, .txt, .cdr, .jpe, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .bmp, .jiff, .jpf, .ply, .pov, .raw, .cf, .cfn, .tbn, .xcf, .xof, .key, .eml, .tbb, .dwf, .egg, .fc2, .fcz, .fg, .fp3, .pab, .oab, .psd, .psb, .pcx, .dwg, .dws, .dxe, .zip, .zipx, .7z, .rar, .rev, .afp, .bfa, .bpk, .bsk, .enc, .rzk, .rzx, .sef, .shy, .snk, .accdb, .ldf, .accdc, .adp, .dbc, .dbx, .dbf, .dbt, .dxl, .edb, .eql, .mdb, .mxl, .mdf, .sql, .sqlite, .sqlite3, .sqlitedb, .kdb, .kdbx, .1cd, .dt, .erf, .lgp, .md, .epf, .efb, .eis, .efn, .emd, .emr, .end, .eog, .erb, .ebn, .ebb, .prefab, .jif, .wor, .csv, .msg, .msf, .kwm, .pwm, .ai, .eps, .abd, .repx, .oxps, .do.

The KillRabbit Ransomware delivers a ransom note. The KillRabbit Ransomware's ransom note is fairly unique in that it is in PHP format, while most encryption ransomware Trojans use text files or HTA program windows. The KillRabbit Ransomware ransom note exhibits the content below:

'KillRabbit V2 – User Area
[Unique Key|TEXT BOX]
[Authorization|BUTTON]
Problems with authorization? Contact us> killrabbit@retwyware.pro
What Happened?
Oops, it seems the rabbit encrypted all of your files and requires a ransom for their decryption.
Do not worry, all your files will be decrypted after payment of the repayment.'

Protecting Your Data from Threats Like the KillRabbit Ransomware

The best protection against threats like the KillRabbit Ransomware is to have file backups stored on portable devices. Having file backups allows computer users and server administrators to bypass the KillRabbit Ransomware tactic and avoid having to contact the criminals responsible for the attack. Since the KillRabbit Ransomware's intended targets are high-profile victims such as servers and business networks, it is more likely that backup images of the content exist. Apart from file backups, a security program that is fully up-to-date can prevent the KillRabbit Ransomware attacks.
