How to remove Danger Siker Ransomware and decrypt .DangerSiker files

What is Danger Siker Ransomware

Danger Siker Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts files on a victim’s computer, making them inaccessible. It appends the .DangerSiker extension to filenames (e.g., 1.jpg becomes 1.jpg.DangerSiker). The ransomware changes the desktop wallpaper and creates a ransom note named mesajin_var_amcik.txt in Turkish, demanding a payment of 0.5 XMR (Monero cryptocurrency) for file decryption. The ransom note instructs the victim not to attempt file recovery independently, as it could worsen the situation. Once the payment is made, the victim is directed to send an email to mesaezzoris@gmail.com. Below is a sample of the ransom-demanding message.

Currently, there is no guaranteed method to decrypt .DangerSiker files without paying the ransom. However, it is generally not recommended to pay the ransom, as there is no guarantee that the attackers will provide a working decryption key, and paying the ransom may encourage further attacks. Instead, focus on prevention measures, such as maintaining offline, encrypted backups of data, regularly updating software and operating systems, and using reputable security tools.
