Reopen Ransomware

The Reopen Ransomware is a threatening program that encrypts data and systems to extort money from victims. Organizations and individual computer users should have a plan in place to protect themselves from such an attack, including regularly backing up data and systems, as well as understanding which type of ransomware was used and using available decryptors or decryption keys, if possible, to recover encrypted files without needing to pay a ransom.

What Happens to the Victims’ Data after Ransomware Attack

The Reopen Ransomware adds a '.Reopen' file extension, as well as the attacker's email and an exclusive ID to the end of each file, so a file named '1.jpg' would become '1.jpg.[Reopenthefile@gmail.com][MJ-BK9065718342].reopen .The ransomware then displays a pop-up window containing a .HTA message and creates a text document called INFORMATION.txt,' which contains the same ransom message. The Reopeb Ransomware belongs to the VoidCrypt Ransomware Ransomware family.

In their ransom message, the attackers do not specify the ransom amount demanded. However, they provide some instructions on how the victims should act if they want to recover their damaged data and an email address that should be used by the victims to contact them.

Is it a Good Idea to Pay the Ransom Demandef by the Attackers?

Paying the ransom demanded by the attackers is not recommended, as there is no guarantee that they will provide the decryption key to unlock the encrypted data. It is possible that even after paying the ransom, the attackers may not give a response or offer an incorrect decryption key. Furthermore, paying a ransom encourages these types of attacks and can fund criminal activities, so it should be avoided if possible.

Therefore, organizations and individuals should focus on other methods for reclaiming encrypted files, such as using security researchers' decryptors or "decryption keys" which can be used to unlock encrypted data without needing a ransom payment and using free ransomware removal tools which can help remove malicious files from infected systems and restore some of the affected data.

The Ransom Message from the Reopen Ransomware reads: 

'Your Files Are Has Been Locked
Your Files Has Been Encrypted with cryptography Algorithm
If You Need Your Files And They are Important to You, Dont be shy Send Me an Email
Send Test File + The Key File on Your System (File Exist in C:/ProgramData example : KEY-SE-24r6t523 or RSAKEY.KEY) to Make Sure Your Files Can be Restored
Make an Agreement on Price with me and Pay
Get Decryption Tool + RSA Key AND Instruction For Decryption Process

Attention:
1- Do Not Rename or Modify The Files (You May loose That file)
2- Do Not Try To Use 3rd Party Apps or Recovery Tools ( if You want to do that make an copy from Files and try on them and Waste Your time )
3-Do not Reinstall Operation System(Windows) You may loose the key File and Loose Your Files
4-Do Not Always Trust to Middle mans and negotiators (some of them are good but some of them agree on 4000usd for example and Asked 10000usd From Client) this Was happened

How to Deal with a Reopen Ransomware Attack

1. Immediately shut down any infected machines and disconnect them from the network to prevent the further spread of the ransomware.

2. Back up all data stored on any affected machines and store it in an offline location, such as a hard drive or external storage device.

3. Use anti-virus software to scan for and remove any malicious files associated with the Reopen ransomware attack.

4. Contact security researchers or IT professionals to get assistance in analyzing the attack and attempting to decrypt any encrypted files using available decryptors or decryption keys, if possible.

5. Establish a plan going forward on how to best protect against ransomware attacks in the future, such as regularly backing up data and systems, keeping anti-virus software updated, disabling macros on documents received via email and implementing other security measures.
