Danger Ransomware

It is very often that we find several versions of the infection terrorizing innocent users. Danger Ransomware is one of such programs, and once users get infected with it, it is very likely that you will have to say goodbye to your files. Although it might be rather easy to remove Danger Ransomware from your computer, you will probably spend a lot more time trying to recover your data.

Computer security experts point out that users need to be ready to accept the possibility that there might be no way to restore the encrypted files. On the other hand, if you regularly back up your data on an external hard drive, then there will be no problem.

What one is supposed to do if there is no backup drive? It depends on what kind of infection we are talking about here. For instance, it might be a lot easier to restore files when only one individual computer is infected. If we are dealing with an infection that affected an entire computer network, then perhaps getting the encrypted files back might be a lot harder.

For instance, if Danger Ransomware infected one individual computer, then there is a chance that copies of the encrypted files are scattered across user’s devices. Perhaps most of the encrypted photos are on your mobile device? Maybe the most recent documents are saved on your cloud drive? There might be many potential options out there, especially if you access most of your data through various apps, as opposed to desktop programs.

With this, we want to tell you that you should not panic if you got infected with Danger Ransomware. Panic leads to bad decisions, and one of those decisions could be paying the ransom fee. As you can obviously see, Danger Ransomware requires you to transfer the payment within three days:

The file is encrypted with the RSA-2048 algorithm, only we can decrypt the file.
Attention: if you do not have money then you do not need to write to us!
Danger: our contacts change every 3 days, do not hesitate, contact us immediately. Then we will not be available.

Does it really mean that Danger Ransomware will issue the decryption key the moment you transfer the ransom payment? Hardly. There is also a very good chance that payment could get lost on the way if the connection between the infected computer and the main control and command center is unstable. Not to mention that giving your money to these criminals would only allow them to infect more computers.

The problem here is that aside from individual users, Danger Ransomware may also infect corporate computer networks. Rather than big corporations, ransomware programs often target smaller businesses because they are less likely to have all their data backed up, and so they are more likely to pay the ransom in order to retrieve important files. That is why computer security experts always maintain that small business should consider training their employees in cyber security matters because ransomware programs do not enter target systems unless users open the installation file.

The reason users trigger this infection is that Danger Ransomware gets distributed through spam email messages. So the files that come attached to malicious spam emails carry the ransomware infection. Users get tricked into opening the files thinking they contain important information, but the moment they open those files, Danger Ransomware enters the system and proceeds to encrypt almost every single file on the system. As a result, even the system files get encrypted, and after the next restart, your computer probably will not work anymore.

As you can see, you may have to wipe your hard disk clean and then reinstall your operating system to use the computer again. Please address a professional technician, so that you would get proper assistance. If possible, remove Danger Ransomware from your computer manually. If not, terminate it with a licensed security tool.

Finally, please stay away from spam email messages that come with attachments because that is a straight way to a malware infection. If you think that a certain attached file is important, you can always scan it with a security tool before opening it, so please consider doing that as it would save you a lot of trouble in the future.
