It takes time to find a way how to crack them.

savefiles@india.com Ransomware is a typical ransomware infection. It shares similarities with other infections using the @india.com email provider, for example, slaker@india.com Ransomware, Supermagnet@india.com Ransomware, and Wisperado@india.com Ransomware. Once savefiles@india.com Ransomware is launched and starts working on the system, it encrypts all files it manages to find without mercy. All these files receive the .SAVEfiles extension, but they are not renamed. Additionally, users who fall victim to this malicious application find the ransom note !!!SAVE_FILES_INFO!!!.txt dropped on their computers. Even though the ransomware infection does not create a point of execution, users find the note opened on their screens automatically because the file is dropped in the Startup folder as well. It informs the victim that he/she needs a decryption tool and a unique private key to unlock encrypted files. No, cyber criminals will not give it to you even if you beg, but you can purchase the decryption software from them for 500 USD. Whether it is smart to transfer money to malware developers is another question. If you still opt to purchase the decryptor, make sure you transfer money within 72 hours. The decryptor’s price might considerably increase when the time given ends. Do not forget that there are zero guarantees that the decryptor will be sent to you. In other words, you might not get it from the malware author. Additionally, you will encourage the development of new harmful infections by transferring the money cyber criminals want from you.
