NPPH Ransomware
The NPPH Ransomware aims to 'lock' the files stored on the compromised systems effectively and prevents users from accessing or using them. This is achieved by employing strong encryption algorithms that cannot be brute-forced or cracked, unless there is a major underlying flaw or bug in the malware's code. In the NPPH Ransomware case, all successfully encrypted files will have '.npph' appended to their original filenames as a new extension. The instructions from the criminals behind the NPPH Ransomware are dropped as a text file named '_readme.txt' in all folders that contain locked files.
Victims of the NPPH Ransomware are told to initiate communication by sending an email to 'helpmanager@mail.ch.' A secondary address at 'restoremanager@airmail.cc' also is provided. The criminals demand the sum of $980 to be sent to them in exchange for the decryption tool and key in their possession. To make the extortion seem a bit more appealing, they offer to slash the price in half to $490 if the affected users establish contact during the first 72 hours after the malware infection. A single file can be sent for free decryption.
Starting negotiations with the hackers is a risky venture, and most cybersecurity specialists advise against any attempts to communicate with them. Instead, users should clean the compromised computer with a reputable anti-malware program, and then, if a suitable backup is available, try to restore the encrypted files. The NPPH Ransomware is a crypto locker threat that is part of the STOP/DJVU Ransomware family.
