Tizer78224 Ransomware

Ransomware infections are released every single day, and sometimes we have to revisit the older ones like Tizer78224 Ransomware, just to let you know that they are still out there. So, if you get infected with this program, please do not panic, as panic doesn’t lead you anywhere good. You need to find out more about the infection and then remove Tizer78224 Ransomware for good. Recovering the encrypted files might be more challenging, depending on whether you have had them backed up, but do not lose hope. This program was released quite a while ago, so you might find a public decryption tool.

As far as the origins of this program are concerned, Tizer78224 Ransomware happens to be a newer version of the Rsautil Ransomware. It is quite common to come across related programs. It means that they all share the same main code, and only several things might be tweaked individually. Hence, whatever we saw with Rsautil Ransomware, the same can be expected from Tizer78224 Ransomware as well.

Another thing that we can expect from Tizer78224 Ransomware is that it is distributed via the same channels as its predecessors. Judging from the fact that Amnesia Ransomware, Extractor Ransomware, and Rsautil Ransomware used to spread via unsafe RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) connections. Thus, we can assume that Tizer78224 Ransomware is also distributed in a similar fashion. However, you have to remember that you are the one who accepts a suspicious file, and you are the one who launches it.

Actually, it would be a good idea to make a new habit where you scan all of the files you download before opening them, especially if those files are sent by someone you don’t know. By employing a reliable antispyware application, you would definitely prevent a lot of annoying and dangerous things from happening.

On the other hand, if Tizer78224 Ransomware manages to enter the target system, it will most definitely launch the file encryption that affects most of your personal files. You will know immediately which files were affected by this infection because the file icon will change. Also, the previous versions of this program would append the email address used for ransom collection to every single filename. Although we haven’t noticed Tizer78224 Ransomware do that, it wouldn’t be surprising if Tizer78224@india.com or Tizer78224@gmx.de were added to the filenames.

Once the encryption is complete, Tizer78224 Ransomware will drop a ransom note in the How_return_files.txt file. The ransom note’s contents are quite straightforward. The criminals behind this infection want your money, and this is how they ask you to give it away:

Hi friend…
:)
For instructions on how to recovery the files, write to me:

Tizer78224@gmx.de
Tizer78224@india.com
Tizer77234@protonmail.com

In the letter, indicate your personal ID (see the file format).
If you have not received an answer, write to me again

As you can see, the infection doesn’t specify the ransom fee that you should pay to decrypt your files. Also, the ransom note comes with three email addresses, which means that the malware server is very unstable, and it could go offline any minute. Considering that Tizer78224 Ransomware was released several months ago, it is very likely that these servers are down by now, and it is impossible to contact the criminals behind this infection.

Some users might think that it is a disaster because there is no other way to recover the encrypted files but to use a decryption tool. Well, even if it were possible to contact these criminals, the chances are that they wouldn’t issue the decryption key even if you were to transfer the ransom fee. Hence, it would be more useful to look for a public decryption tool online.

Also, if you regularly back up your files on an external hard drive or a cloud drive, you should have no problem restoring your data. Simply remove Tizer78224 Ransomware and all the encrypted files, and then transfer healthy copies back into a clean system.

Do not forget to invest in a licensed antispyware tool that would ensure your system is protected against various threats in the future. But aside from that, you should also be careful about the messages you receive from unfamiliar senders. If those messages come with attached files, it might as well be ransomware.
