Remove Decryptionassistant Ransomware
The Decryptionassistant Ransomware is a threatening piece of software that runs on Windows machines. It is able to encrypt the contents of various files, preventing the victim from viewing their contents. Unfortunately, there is no decryption option that the victims of the Decryptionassistant Ransomware can rely on for free. The criminals claim to be selling a decryption service, but trusting them is a bad idea. They will not help you unless you agree to pay a ransom fee. However, it is very likely that they will end up tricking you if you ever decide to send them money.
The Decryptionassistant Ransomware is likely to reach its victims through the use of fake downloads, corrupted email attachments, fake advertisements or other misleading content. Since threats like this one can attack you from multiple directions, it is best to automate your system's defenses against them. Using an up-to-date anti-malware software suite should be enough to mitigate attacks from the Decryptionassistant Ransomware and other malware.
This threat's attack is easily noticeable by the changes it brings to the infected systems. After encrypting a file, it will append the extension '.decryptionassistant.[<VICTIM ID>]' to its name. It also creates the document '!!! ALL YOUR FILES ARE ENCRYPTED !!!.txt' that contains the message from the criminals.
Just like other ransomware operators, the ones behind this operation also are asking for a ransom payment through cryptocurrency – like Bitcoin or Monero. It advises the victim to message chinadecryptionassistant2021@cock.li or decryptionassistantchina2021@cock.email for additional help and information.
You should not accept to pay, as we already mentioned above. Instead, run an anti-virus scanner to make sure that the malware is gone for good. After you take care of this task, you can proceed to try out popular data recovery measures and software.
