The Main Targets of the 'Meldonii@india.com' Ransomware are Enterprise Networks

The 'Meldonii@india.com' Ransomware is part of a large family of ransomware Trojans that use the extension '.XBTL' to identify infected files and use email addresses belonging to the @india.com domain. One of the worrying aspects of the 'Meldonii@india.com' Ransomware is that this threat family tends to target enterprise networks and servers rather than focusing on individual users. Because of this, the 'Meldonii@india.com' Ransomware infections and variants in this family have a lot of potential for causing significant monetary losses and damage. The 'Meldonii@india.com' Ransomware attack is simple to understand. The 'Meldonii@india.com' Ransomware may be delivered attached to compromised email messages. These email messages will use social engineering techniques to trick inexperienced computer users into opening the attached file. Once the file is opened, it will change the victim's computer settings to ensure that the 'Meldonii@india.com' Ransomware runs automatically each time Windows starts up. The 'Meldonii@india.com' Ransomware then connects to its Command and Control server to receive instructions and send information about the infected computer. The 'Meldonii@india.com' Ransomware corrupted executable file is dropped into one of the following directories on the infected computer:

%AppData%
%Roaming%
%Local%
%LocalRow%
%Windows%
%System%
%System32%
%Temp%

This executable file will often be named to make it appear as a legitimate Microsoft Windows system file. When the 'Meldonii@india.com' Ransomware carries its attack, it uses a strong encryption algorithm to encrypt the following file types on the infected PC:

Protecting Your Computer from Threats Like the 'Meldonii@india.com' Ransomware

The best protection against encryption ransomware threats like the 'Meldonii@india.com' Ransomware is to ensure that you have offsite backups of all files. In many cases, backups are stored on the same server or network as the infected computer, making it likely that the backups will become corrupted too. Because of this, ensure that your backed up files are not connected physically to the computer. If the backups exist, then the con artists no longer have any way of threatening or demanding money from victims.
