'Sitaram108@india.com Ransomware'

The 'Sitaram108@india.com' Ransomware is part of a large ransomware family. The 'Sitaram108@india.com' Ransomware and its variants first appeared in 2016. The 'Sitaram108@india.com' Ransomware is fairly typical and similar to other countless encryption ransomware Trojan attacks that have become quite common in the last couple of years. However, the 'Sitaram108@india.com' Ransomware uses a sophisticated encryption algorithm, which means that the files encrypted by the 'Sitaram108@india.com' Ransomware cannot be decrypted without access to the decryption key. Unfortunately, a decryption utility for the files affected by the 'Sitaram108@india.com' Ransomware and its variants does not exist currently. This is one of the ways in which ransomware Trojans are more effective than many other threat infections; even if the 'Sitaram108@india.com' Ransomware is removed with an anti-malware program, the victim's files will remain encrypted and inaccessible. The best protection against the 'Sitaram108@india.com' Ransomware and its variants is to make sure that you backup all files on your computer on an off-site device.
