Filename.doc is your original file name. Id-8549320 is your unique ID which is necessary if you want to pay the ransom and get your files back. Decipher@keemail.me is the email address used by cyber criminals to comunicate with victims (confirm payments and send decryption tools). Although, I can not confirm that they are actually willing to decrypt your files. Very often, users pay the ransom and do not receive ant decryption tools. That's why I generally don't recommend paying the ransom unless your files are so important, you don't have backups and you are willing to take the risk. With that aim in mind, here we are going to take a closer look at something called ransomware.
What is decipher@keemail.me ransomware?
You have probably spotted how there is a distinct pattern when it comes to naming our malicious software foes. Even malware is a contraction of malicious software. In a similar vein, adware displays adverts and spyware monitors what you're doing on your PC. And ransomware � will kidnap your files and documents and hold them hostage � normally by encrypting them so you cannot access or open them. And just like the daring kidnapping tales in children's stories a ransomware kidnapper, will of course demand a ransom before they release your data � usually you pay a not inconsiderable amount to be given a decryption code that allows you to unlock your files. However, unlike most ransomware, it does't leave ransom notes like help_decrypt.txt or how_to_decrypt on your computer. Sometimes, it can change your wallpaper and display information on how to get your files back. However, I noticed that it doesn't happen all the time which means this ransom virus is not coded and tested very well. Of course, it does the encryption part very well which is the main point, so everything else was probably not that important to those who created this malware.
How decipher@keemail.me infects your computer
It does have one thing in common with its malware brothers and sisters and that is the method it uses to infiltrate your PC. Some variantss of this ransomware will be secretly packaged with another program, file download or app. Others are spread via spam email or messenger attachments, and some ransomware executions will be triggered if you visit a website that has been compromised.
Will I know if I've been infected by decipher@keemail.me?
In a word: yes, you will most definitely know if you have a _decipher@keemail.me ransomware infection on your PC. The malware is certainly not shy and retiring � look at it this way, it wants to extort money from you and it wants payment in the shortest time possible, before you stop panicking and start thinking more seriously about how to solve the problem. Ransomware is all about scare tactics and taking advantage of people at the moment of distress. It preys on you when you are vulnerable and thinking that you are never going to see any of your files, photos or documents ever again. What should I do if I've been infected?
It's easy to say, but try not to panic. And whatever you do, don't pay the ransom unless the encrypted files are very important and you can't afford to lose them. If the encrypted files are not very important or you don't have money to pay the ransom, you can remove try to restore your files (at least some of them) using Shadow Explorer, Recuva and some other specialized tools listed below. Please note that even of you decide to pay the ransom there's really no guarantee that cyber crooks will recover your files. If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Last, but not least, if there's anything you think I should add or correct, please let me know. It might be a pain but the issue needs to be dealt with � and the way to do it is by not giving in, not paying up and not letting the attackers win.
