Robin Hood And Family Ransomware

What happens if Robin Hood And Family Ransomware slithers into your operating system? If that happens, your personal files are likely to deleted, and that is what makes this infection one of the most aggressive threats our research team has seen in a while. The good news is that it does not target all files found on your operating system, and it appears to target two specific directories only. Unfortunately, most Windows users keep highly personal and sensitive files in these directories. Please continue reading the article to learn more about this. Without a doubt, the most important task for you if you face it is Robin Hood And Family Ransomware removal. The bad news is that this threat is pretty unpredictable, and it is unlikely that all victims will be able to delete it manually. Luckily, there is an easier way to get rid of this threat, and it suits all Windows users, regardless of their skills and experiences.

Robin Hood And Family Ransomware is not to be confused with RobinHood Ransomware, an entirely unique and unrelated infection that was reported a year ago now. This threat encrypted files using the AES encryption algorithm, and it demanded a ransom of 5 Bitcoins. Today, this kind of a sum is completely ridiculous. Robin Hood And Family Ransomware makes a demand for 0.1 Bitcoin, which, at the time of research, converted to nearly 900 USD and 750 EUR. Needless to say, this is a huge sums, and not all victims will be capable of paying it. The thing is, while it is never recommended that users make any deals with cyber criminals, paying the ransom requested by this ransomware is definitely the wrong move. As we mentioned already, instead of encrypting files, this malware deletes them. Our researchers found that the infection deletes files stored in two specific directories, %USERPROFILE%\Desktop and %USERPROFILE%\Documents. If the files that you had stored here are not backed up online or on an external drive, you are screwed. Unfortunately, the ransom note suggests that your files were backed up by cyber criminals before they were erased, and that is why some might be tricked into paying the ransom.

According to our malware research experts, Robin Hood And Family Ransomware creators do NOT back up your files before removing them. What does that mean? That means that there is no point in paying the ransom. According to the message that is represented using the “YOU ARE HACKED - READ ME.txt” file – which is created on the Desktop – you need to transfer the ransom to a special Bitcoin wallet (cyber crooks set up 1CncuQzDP86vEpS3un8R7BT2yiEgUCpkQg) and then send a unique key to a special email address (robinhoodxxx007@tutanota.com). It is suggested that if you do this, you would gain access to an “email address and login parameters” that would allow you to decrypt personal files. This is all a big lie that you should not fall for. If you are not cautious, you could lose both, your files and your money. Also, by emailing cyber crooks, you would be disclosing your personal email address, which is not a good idea either. Without a doubt, you need to be smart about the moves you make next.

You are in a great situation if your files are backed up. If this is the case, all you really need to think about is the removal of the ransomware. And if your files are not backed up, they are lost for good. Hopefully, nothing too important was lost due to the attack of this infection. In any case, you need to delete Robin Hood And Family Ransomware, and there are several options you can choose from. You could try to erase this malware yourself, but no one can guarantee success in this case. All in all, the choice is yours, and if you want to remove Robin Hood And Family Ransomware yourself, you definitely should try it. Just do not forget to employ a malware scanner. It will let you know if you have succeeded. What is the other option? You could install an anti-malware tool, and this is what we recommend. Why? There are several answers to this question.
