How to remove HermeticWiper

0
Also known as FoxBlade, HermeticWiper is a devastating virus designed to erase system-stored data and prevent machines from responding or working completely. Malware with such capabilities is usually known as disk wipers. HermeticWiper was discovered attacking governmental bodies and business structures in Ukraine on February 24. Many researchers think HermeticWiper was given this name based on a digital certificate stolen from a company called Hermetica Digital Ltd. This certificate allows the virus to disguise itself as legitimate software to bypass the detection of Windows. Upon successful infiltration, HermeticWiper corrupts the majority of stored data and deletes Windows Shadow Copies as well. This functionality leads to permanent data loss making victims unable to recover it afterwards. As mentioned, HermeticWiper makes infected systems practically unusable - it does so by disrupting the Master Boot Record (MBR), an important Windows sector responsible for properly starting the system. As long as HermeticWiper holds control around your system, it can do almost whatever it wants - install additional malware, launch DDoS attacks, record keystrokes, audio, video, abuse system resources to mine cryptocurrencies, deploy remote commands, and many other disruptive actions. HermeticWiper is not the only but one of few viruses distributed within this geopolitical campaign on Ukraine.

How to remove Sorryitsjustbusiness Ransomware and decrypt your files

0
Sorryitsjustbusiness is the name of a ransomware virus. Alike other infections of this type, it encrypts personal data and blackmails victims into paying a ransom. The encryption process may be easily spotted by looking at affected files. Sorryitsjustbusiness changes their original extensions to random characters and resets icons to blank. To illustrate, a file like 1.pdf may change to 1.pdf.ws9y, 1.png to 1.png.kqfb, and so forth with other random extensions and files. Following successful encryption, the virus creates a text note called read_it.txt and installs new desktop wallpapers. Both text note and wallpapers display information on how to recover the data. Victims are said it is necessary to buy an exclusive key to decrypt their files. The cost of this key is whopping 150,000$ to be paid in Bitcoin to the attached crypto address. After the transfer is made, victims should inform the swindlers by sending a message to their e-mail address (sorryitsjustbusiness@protonmail.com). If victims fail to do this within 24 hours after getting infected, the price for decryption will double. It is also mentioned that encrypted files will be deleted after 48 hours of victims' inaction. Based on the demanded amount of ransom, we can then assume that Sorryitsjustbusiness's aim is set on companies with a good level of earnings. As a rule, it is not advised to trust cybercriminals and pay the ransom they want.

It does so by using secure encryption algorithms and modifying the names of affected data with the .lomer extension. To illustrate, a file called 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.lomer and reset its original icon to blank. After successfully restricting access to data, the virus then blackmails victims into paying a ransom. This is made through the How To Restore Your Files.txt text file which is created on compromised devices. The file says all valuable files have been encrypted and copied to servers of cybercriminals, all backups were deleted as well. Victims can potentially restore their data by purchasing special decryption software offered by the attackers. It is guided to establish contact with cybercriminals using their e-mail address to get further details on the decryption. Infected users are also allowed to attach one file in their message and get it decrypted for free. Should victims ignore these requests and linger with paying the ransom, cybercriminals threaten to start leaking collected files to dark web resources.
