Remove Delta Team Ransomware
File-encryption Trojans continue to run rampant on unprotected computers. Malware of this type can cause long-term damage to your data, preventing you from viewing your most important files. The Delta Team Ransomware is one of these threats and, unfortunately, its victims could be in a lot of trouble. When this malware attacks, it renders the contents of documents, archives, backups, and dozens of other file formats inaccessible.
How to Spot the Delta Team Ransomware Attack?
Not only does the malware render files inaccessible, but it also tampers with their name by adding the extension '.deltapaymentbitcoin@gmail.com.' This is also the email address that the criminals use to contact their victims. The usage of the Gmail service, however, shows that the creators of this malware are probably amateurs – their email is unlikely to stay active for long. Google tends to disable accounts that abuse their services for malicious purposes.
Another change that the Delta Team Ransomware makes is the 'FILES ENCRYPTED.txt' ransom note it creates on the desktop. This document advises victims to contact the criminals, and pay $900 via Bitcoin for the decryptor. There is some good news, though – the decryption tool that the Delta Team Ransomware works with requires a password. It is not randomly generated and, instead, the decryptor can be activated with the password 'doydoo21'. If you fall victim to the Delta Team Ransomware attack, run the decryptor using this password to restore your files. If the recovery tool works, make sure to remove the malware after the recovery process. Use an up-to-date Windows security tool to ensure that all malicious files will be safely deleted.
