![]() ![]() The sole solution is to recover it from a backup (if available). Unfortunately, removal will not restore already compromised data. To prevent DeathRansom (Chaos) ransomware from encrypting more files – it must be eliminated from the operating system. Therefore, we strongly advise against meeting the ransom demands, as doing so would support this illegal activity. What is more, despite paying – victims commonly do not receive the decryption tools. ![]() The only exceptions are attacks involving deeply flawed ransomware-type programs. DeathRansom (Chaos) ransomware's wallpaper clarifies that the ransom is a 25 USD gift card worth 2,200 Robux – the in-game currency of the Roblox online game platform.īased on our extensive experience researching ransomware infections, it is usually impossible without the cyber criminals' interference. After, the victim is promised to be sent the decryption tool. The victim is told to email the attackers and send them a Roblox gift code. It then lists steps on how to decrypt the data. The ransom note informs the victim that their files have been locked (i.e., encrypted). Screenshot of files encrypted by DeathRansom (Chaos) ransomware: For example, a file initially titled " 1.jpg" appeared as " 1.jpg.888e", " 2.png" as " 2.png.tv52", etc.Īfterwards, a ransom-demanding message named " read_it.txt" was created, and the desktop wallpaper was changed. Once we executed a sample of DeathRansom (Chaos) ransomware on our test machine, it encrypted files and appended their filenames with an extension compromising four random characters. ![]() This malicious program is part of the Chaos ransomware family. Our research team discovered the DeathRansom ransomware-type program during a routine inspection of new submissions to VirusTotal. ![]()
