The '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware is an encryption ransomware Trojan that is a variant of the Paradise Ransomware, a known encryption ransomware Trojan that has been active since September 2018. The '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware variant was first observed on March 25, 2019. The '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware carries out a typical encryption ransomware attack, using a strong encryption algorithm to make victims' files inaccessible and then demanding a ransom payment from the victim to receive the decryption key needed to restore the unreachable files. It is paramount that computer users take precautions against threats like the '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware, which are becoming prevalent today increasingly.
Why the '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware is Threatening
The '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware uses the AES and RSA encryptions to make the victim's files inaccessible. The '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware also takes other steps designed to prevent victims from recovering the compromised data, such as removing the Windows System Restore Points or the Shadow Volume Copies of any files targeted by the '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware attack. The '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware targets the user-generated files, which may include a wide variety of database files, documents, media files, configuration data, and many data containers. Files that the '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware target in these attacks include:

The '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware will deliver a ransom note in the form of a text file named 'Instructions with your files.txt' that contains the following message for the victim:
'All your files have been encrypted contact us via the e-mail listed below.
e-mail: support@p-security.li or e-mail: support@p-security.li'
Dealing with a '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware Infection
Computer users that refrain from contacting the criminals responsible for the '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware attack or following the instructions in the '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware ransom note are the ones taking the right decision. Unfortunately, once the '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware has compromised the files, they are not recoverable without the decryption key needed. Therefore, prevention is the best measure against threats like the '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware. Computer users are advised to have file backups to restore any data compromised by the '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware. Apart from file backups, a respected security program should be used to prevent the '.securityP File Extension' Ransomware from being installed in the first place and remove it before restoring any compromised data.
