Insane@airmail.cc Ransomware

'Insane@airmail.cc' Ransomware is a threat that marks its damaged files with a second extension called .[insane@airmail.cc].insane, for example, sunset.jpg.[insane@airmail.cc].insane. Unfortunately, such files can no longer be opened as the system does not recognize them. According to our researchers, even the malicious application’s removal will not restore any data. Nonetheless, it is exactly what we recommend for users who do not want to deal with hackers. As you see after the malware encrypts user’s data, he should find a ransom note asking to contact the infection’s developers via email. Once the user does so, the hackers should ask him to pay for a decryptor. The problem is, there is a possibility they will not hold to their end of the deal.

However, by the time it finishes encrypting your files with a secure encryption algorithm, it should drop a file titled How_decrypt_files.txt on your Desktop and scatter its copies among folders with locked data. The threat’s developers are most likely doing so to ensure the user receives their message, which should say: “Hello! If you want restore your files write on email - insane@airmail.cc.” As you see, there is no explanation telling how it will decrypt your files and sadly merely writing to these people will not solve anything. In fact, writing to these people could only result in them asking you to pay a ransom.

Soon after the system is cleaned, the user could replace encrypted files with backup copies or try various recovery tools to get the locked data back.
