How to remove Roghe Ransomware and decrypt .enc files

0
Roghe is a ransomware virus targeting personal data of victims. After the malware infects a targeted system, it starts encryption of potentially important files making them inaccessible until a decryption key is retrieved. During the encryption process, Roghe Ransomware assigns the .enc extension to infected files. For instance, a file like 1.pdf will turn to 1.pdf.enc and so forth with other affected files. Once all files become enciphered, the virus changes the desktop wallpapers and force-opens a pop-up window that features decryption guidelines. The text featured on newly-assigned wallpapers lets users know they have been infected and encourages them to follow instructions from the opened pop-up window. In addition, it also features a QR code leading to more information about the malware. The "Roghe Decryptor" window says victims have 15 minutes to retrieve the key and paste it for unlocking access to files - otherwise, the encrypted files will be deleted forever. It also says that within 20 minutes operating system will be inaccessible, essentially becoming locked.

How to remove Kangaroo Ransomware and decyrpt .crypted_file files

0
Kangaroo is a ransomware infection released by developers behind earlier file-encryptors, such as Apocalypse, Fabiansomware, and Esmeralda. Although this file-encryptor was actively circulating in 2021, some users may still end up penetrated by it these days. The purpose of malware within this category is to encrypt potentially important data and extort money for decryption from victims. The feature that makes Kangaroo stand out among other common ransomware infections is that it configures registry values to display a ransom message prior to entering the Windows log-in screen. Immediately after logging into the system, it also displays a fake screen with the same ransom message but this time with a dedicated field for inserting a password to unlock it. During encryption, Kangaroo also assigns the .crypted_file extension and creates identical ransom messages in form of text notes. Such text notes get created additionally to each encrypted file and are named based on the post-encryption file's name (like here 1.pdf.crypted_file.Instructions_Data_Recovery.txt).
