The 'Siddhiup2@india.com' Ransomware attack is simple to understand: the 'Siddhiup2@india.com' Ransomware infiltrates the victim's computer, takes the victim's files hostage by encrypting them with an advanced encryption algorithm, and then demands that the victim pays a large ransom amount.

Unfortunately, the files that have been encrypted by the 'Siddhiup2@india.com' Ransomware cannot be decrypted without the decryption key, which the con artists hold hostage. However, PC security analysts strongly advise against paying the 'Siddhiup2@india.com' Ransomware ransom. There is no assurance that the fraudsters will agree to restore the victim's files; instead, they may ignore the victim once the payment is made, or ask for even more money. In its ransom note, the 'Siddhiup2@india.com' Ransomware demands payments that range between 400 and 900 Euro.

The Unpleasant Surprises that an Unsolicited Email may Bring

The 'Siddhiup2@india.com' Ransomware may be delivered to the victim's computer through an unsolicited email attachment. Because of this, computer users should avoid opening this type of content. If an unsolicited email attachment comes from a known source but seems suspicious, malware analysts recommend confirming it via a telephone call or other means before opening it. Once the 'Siddhiup2@india.com' Ransomware enters the victim's computer, it searches for certain file types and carries out its encryption attack. The 'Siddhiup2@india.com' Ransomware will encrypt the following file types during its attack:

.odc, .odm, .odp, .ods, .odt, .docm, .docx, .doc, .odb, .mp4, sql, .7z, .m4a, .rar, .wma, .gdb, .tax, .pkpass, .bc6, .bc7, .avi, .wmv, .csv, .d3dbsp, .zip, .sie, .sum, .ibank, .t13, .t12, .qdf, .bkp, .qic, .bkf, .sidn, .sidd, .mddata, .itl, .itdb, .icxs, .hvpl, .hplg, .hkdb, .mdbackup, .syncdb, .gho, .cas, .svg, .map, .wmo, .itm, .sb, .fos, .mov, .vdf, .ztmp, .sis, .sid, .ncf, .menu, .layout, .dmp, .blob, .esm, .vcf, .vtf, .dazip, .fpk, .mlx, .kf, .iwd, .vpk, .tor, .psk, .rim, .w3x, .fsh, .ntl, .arch00, .lvl, .snx, .cfr, .ff, .vpp_pc, .lrf, .m2, .mcmeta, .vfs0, .mpqge, .kdb, .db0, .dba, .rofl, .hkx, .bar, .upk, .das, .iwi, .litemod, .asset, .forge, .ltx, .bsa, .apk, .re4, .sav, .lbf, .slm, .bik, .epk, .rgss3a, .pak, .big, wallet, .wotreplay, .xxx, .desc, .py, .m3u, .flv, .js, .css, .rb, .png, .jpeg, .txt, .p7c, .p7b, .p12, .pfx, .pem, .crt, .cer, .der, .x3f, .srw, .pef, .ptx, .r3d, .rw2, .rwl, .raw, .raf, .orf, .nrw, .mrwref, .mef, .erf, .kdc, .dcr, .cr2, .crw, .bay, .sr2, .srf, .arw, .3fr, .dng, .jpe, .jpg, .cdr, .indd, .ai, .eps, .pdf, .pdd, .psd, .dbf, .mdf, .wb2, .rtf, .wpd, .dxg, .xf, .dwg, .pst, .accdb, .mdb, .pptm, .pptx, .ppt, .xlk, .xlsb, .xlsm, .xlsx, .xls, .wps.

After encrypting the victim's files, the 'Siddhiup2@india.com' Ransomware drops text and HTML files in each directory where there is encrypted content. Apart from doing this, the 'Siddhiup2@india.com' Ransomware also will change the victims' Desktop Wallpaper image into a copy of its ransom note. The ransom note associated with the 'Siddhiup2@india.com' Ransomware will ask victims to send an email to this email address to receive further instructions. After computer users establish contact with the people responsible for the 'Siddhiup2@india.com' Ransomware, they will be asked to submit their payment through a TOR payment website using BitCoins for anonymity.

Computer users should refrain from paying the 'Siddhiup2@india.com' Ransomware ransom. Instead, it is essential to have backups of all files on an external memory device. A reliable security program that is fully up-to-date should be used at all times to intercept a 'Siddhiup2@india.com' Ransomware infection before it manages to encrypt files on the targeted computer.
