The RumbleCrypt Ransomware is an encryption ransomware Trojan that is used to take the victims' files hostage. The RumbleCrypt Ransomware claims that it uses a very advanced encryption technology to encrypt its victims' files. According to these reports, the RumbleCrypt Ransomware makes the files inaccessible unless the victim has a decryption key, which the RumbleCrypt Ransomware will refuse to release until the victim pays a ransom. The RumbleCrypt Ransomware drops ransom notes on the victim's computer. These ransom notes contain links to the RumbleCrypt Ransomware's payment website. Victims need to enter a unique identifier number into the website and an email address, RumbleCrypt@rediffmail.com provided so that computer users can contact the con artists responsible for the RumbleCrypt Ransomware attack.

Unfolding the RumbleCrypt Ransomware Attack
The RumbleCrypt Ransomware demands payment of its ransom in BitCoins. The RumbleCrypt Ransomware's payment website contains a BitCoin address for payment. According to the RumbleCrypt Ransomware, if the payment isn't carried out within two weeks, the decryption key will no longer work. This seems a measure taken by the con artists to preclude the very real possibility that their website will be taken down. Rather than 'identifiers expiring' or other lies, the fact is the con artists enterprises are taken down by PC security analysts repeatedly, only to start-up again with new features.
If the RumbleCrypt Ransomware has taken hostage your files, PC security analysts strongly advise recovering your data from a backup location. Unfortunately, a Shadow Volume browser will do no good here; the RumbleCrypt Ransomware is designed to delete Shadow Volume Copies of the victim's files. The RumbleCrypt Ransomware should be removed with the help of a reliable anti-malware program that is fully up-to-date. Once the RumbleCrypt Ransomware itself has been removed, computer users will need to restore the encrypted files from a backup location. In fact, having a backup of your files is the single most important step you can take to protect yourself from threats like the RumbleCrypt Ransomware. If computer users can restore their files from a backup quickly and easily, then they have no need to pay the ransom that these threats demand during their attacks.
How the RumbleCrypt Ransomware may Enter a Computer
The most common way in which the RumbleCrypt Ransomware and other ransomware Trojans spread is through corrupted email messages. These messages may contain attachments or embedded links that, when opened, install threats like the RumbleCrypt Ransomware on the victim's computer. The con artists have become very good at disguising their email messages to make them seem legitimate. The messages containing threats like the RumbleCrypt Ransomware may be well disguised as bank statements, invoices from numerous companies, airline reservations, or other legitimate-looking emails. Never open unsolicited email attachments or links and always use a reliable anti-malware program and anti-spam filter to ensure that these messages are intercepted before they can damage your computer.
Dealing with a the RumbleCrypt Ransomware Infection
Unfortunately, it may not be viable to decrypt files that have been encrypted by the RumbleCrypt Ransomware currently. Because of this, PC users will need to recover their files from a backup. PC security analysts strongly advise against paying the RumbleCrypt Ransomware's ransom. Remember that the RumbleCrypt Ransomware is created and developed by con artists who cannot be trusted. If you pay the RumbleCrypt Ransomware ransom, you have no guarantee that the con artists will provide a decryption key in return. It is equally likely that they will simply keep your money or demand an even larger payment from you. When dealing with threats like the RumbleCrypt Ransomware, prevention is the most important thing. Ensure that your computer is well protected with a powerful security software that is fully up-to-date and always keep a backup of your files.
