Sglh Ransomware

Protecting our systems from the likes of Sglh Ransomware is a lot easier than we think. Unfortunately, these ransomware programs still manage to find ways to infect multiple users worldwide. For the most part, it boils down to the conviction that “it won’t happen to me.” It’s actually a very common logical fallacy when it comes to all sorts of infections (cyber or viral). Just because the possibility of getting infected is low, it doesn’t mean that one is 100%. Hence, a lot of users have to look for ways to remove Sglh Ransomware and restore their files.

So, how can we avoid such things as Sglh Ransomware? Most of the time, we need just a little bit of attention to recognize ransomware distribution patterns. Such programs usually come via spam email attachments, and if you receive spam emails in your main inbox, you should be able to delete them at once. We are used to our email providers filtering spam into the Junk box, however, not all email providers are that sophisticated, and sometimes, spam emails look legitimate enough to pass through that filter. Let’s not forget social engineering messages when your colleague accounts get hacked and you might receive an email that looks it was sent by someone you know, and yet, the email carries a malicious payload.

While it is easy to delete spam emails from unknown parties, you might be more relucted to delete a message from someone within your own corporation. However, instead of opening the attached files, you should perhaps double-check with the sender, and see, whether the email is really legitimate or not. As the last resort, you can use a reliable antispyware tool to scan the received files before opening them. If the file in question is malicious, your security tool will notify you immediately.

Other than that, Sglh Ransomware works just like Efji Ransomware, Foqe Ransomware, Vpsh Ransomware, and many other applications that come from the STOP Ransomware family. All of them are practically identical, and you can see from their names that their distributors and developers do not spend a lot of time working on them. Hence, there is actually chance to restore the files affected by Sglh Ransomware. There is a public decryption tool that was designed for the first STOP Ransomware infection. The trick is that this tool works on all the other programs from this family provided they use the OFFLINE encryption key.

How to know whether Sglh Ransomware used the offline key? Well, you just have to try and run the decryption app and hope for the best. Of course, there is always a chance that an online encryption key was used, and if that’s the case, then you have to look for other ways to restore your files. If you have a file backup where you keep copies of your data, there’s no problem. You just need to remove Sglh Ransomware along with the locked-up files, and then you can transfer the backed-up copies into your computer.

Whatever you do, do not follow the instructions in the ransom note that Sglh Ransomware leaves in your hard drive. It says that you need to contact these criminals within the first 72 hours since the infection if you want to get a 50% discount for the decryption key. Paying the ransom is never a good idea because these people might as well just collect the money and scram. Not to mention that with the money you’ve paid they will be able to create more infections and terrorize more users.

Removing Sglh Ransomware isn’t that complicated. You just need to delete the files associated with the infection. If you don’t want to do it on your own, you can acquire a powerful security application that will do the job for you. However, please note that no antivirus program will help you avoid ransomware if you do not employ safe browsing habits.

Educate yourself about ransomware distribution tactics, so that you would be able to recognize similar messages in the future. If you want more detailed information on the topic, don’t hesitate to address your IT crew or simply drop us a comment below. Our team is always ready to assist you.
