Got caught several times lost over 40g of backup that was attached to computer usb.  So, backup when offline and then disconnect all usb backup devices except when using at the time.

 

Get CRYPTOPrevent for freeeee or pay $15 forever fee with advanced protection!  can find by search or on Foolibleep.com  Foolish IT   

 

 Have Not been Hit since 2013!!  Forget your windows word, pdf. files and all photo files- even if encrypted-- only thing safe was notepad.  txt files may not be so now.

Hi Everyone,

 

I would like to share as what I have discovered and hopefully found a cure to decrypt all my encrypted files.

 

All my files was infected by this ransom or cryptowall virus. There's was a note and every folder infected. Please see below message of the noted in text file.

 

-----------------

All your important files were crypted with two strong algoritms - RSA and AES
All files that have been cryped have name, starting with error_
We can sell you the program that will restore all your files.
If you want buy this program, you need send us your Unique Identificator on ert888@ruggedinbox.com
After that we will send you instructions of payment
Also you can attach one small file (less than 300 Kilobytes) and we will restore it.

If we didnt answer you during 1-2 days, it means that we didnt get your letter. So,
make your own e-mail account on www.ruggedinbox.com and send your letter again.

 

 

 

I just wrote an email and attached the encypted files to ert888@ruggedinbox.com and received the response this morning together with the decrypted files which i sent. (.xls file)

 

---------------------

Subject: Re: 19683

 

Hello. Program costs 2 bitcoins (now 2 bitcoins = 400 usd)

 

You need send 2 bitcoins to address 1Jvv62ChWGj2DwLcGtCJtNtrfpCkfLrvEJ

 

 

 

You can use one of those sites to change your money to bitcoins:

 

www.btc-e.com

 

www.bitstamp.net

 

www.goldux.com

 

www.kraken.com

 

www.bitquick.co

 

You dont need install any bitcoin software. You need only use one one those bitcoin services or others (also you can look here other bitcoin services for your country - www.howtobuybitcoins.info) to send us bitcoins.

 

And we dont need your files. We only need some money.

 

 

 

I attached your decrypted file.

 

----------------

 

I manage to scan my computer and shadow copies is not present.

Please help if anybody out there have the solution to decrypt the files.

I have tried all the possible ways to decrypt but still no luck.

Thank you.

It would work however that isn't your problem. Your problem is that each infection has 2 encryption keys (public and private) one of the keys is stored on your computer, the other is on their server, when you pay them and the payment has been confirmed you will get a link on your payment screen called decrypt.zip in there are 3 files, the decrypt file and the public and private key. 

 

I am currently working on a way to decrypt the files without paying them. A good friend of mine programs in over 11 languages and we think we have figured out how they 'make' the keys, maybe by version 23.0 we will have a solution :(

Unless someone gets access to their C2 server and its keys noone is going to be able to make a free decrypter. Brute forcing the keys is not realistic.

Regardless of what is said, there is no way to get your files back for free at this time other than through a backup.

That is the sad truth.

This is not CryptoWall. Looks like something else. Can you send us a copy of this ransom note and one of the encrypted files so we can take a look to http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/submit-malware.php?channel=3

Do you know if you opened anything right before the files were encrypted? If so, do you still have that file?
