Oled Ransomware

The Oled Ransomware is a ransomware Trojan that, coincidentally, has the same name as diodes used in modern televisions and other technology. There is little to differentiate the Oled Ransomware from the many other encryption ransomware Trojans that are being used to carry out attacks against computer users currently. The Oled Ransomware will encrypt the victim's files and then add the extension '.oled' to the affected files to mark them. Once a file is encrypted by the Oled Ransomware attack, it becomes unreadable. The main way in which the Oled Ransomware may be distributed is by appending it to email messages as an attachment, which may take advantage of vulnerabilities in macros and scripts to execute a corrupted code and download and install the Oled Ransomware onto the victim's computer.

The Oled that Instead of Light Emits Darkness to Your Files

Unfortunately, once the files have been encrypted by the Oled Ransomware attack, they will become unrecoverable. Because of this, the best way to deal with the Oled Ransomware and other ransomware Trojans is by taking preventive measures. The Oled Ransomware will display a ransom note informing the victim of the attack, provide information on the ransom payment, and offer to decrypt three files for free (as long as they are small and contain no 'important' information). Security experts do not recommend contacting the con artists at all since in many cases this can lead to additional infections and other tactics. The following is the full text of the Oled Ransomware ransom note:

How the Oled Ransomware Attack will Affect Your Files

The Oled Ransomware belongs to the BTCWare family of ransomware, a known ransomware Trojan family that tends to demand very high ransoms. The Oled Ransomware's ransom note is contained in a text file named 'DECRYPTION.txt' that is dropped on the infected computer. The Oled Ransomware will use a combination of the AES and RSA encryptions to make the victim's files completely inaccessible and demand its ransom payment in BitCoins, which allows the con artists to remain anonymous. Email messages being used to deliver the Oled Ransomware may take the form of emails that resemble communications from legitimate companies, such as PayPal. They may often include an embedded link or file attachment and use social engineering techniques to convince inexperienced computer users into downloading and installing the Oled Ransomware onto their computers.

Dealing with the Oled Ransomware

Although the Oled Ransomware infection itself can be removed with the help of a reliable security program that is fully up-to-date, once the Oled Ransomware has encrypted the files, they will not be recoverable without access to the decryption key (this is what makes these threats so scary and effective). Because of this, the best preventive measure computer users can take, is to have file backups of all files, storing them on the cloud or an external memory device. Having the ability to restore the files from a backup negates the Oled Ransomware's attack completely.
