Remove Myday Ransomware

Some of your files are not accessible, and they have a weird extension to their name? You might have become the victim of a ransomware attack. Unfortunately, recovering from these attacks is no easy feat – the purpose of ransomware is to lock you out of your data, and then offer to sell you a key for money. One of the popular ransomware families abusing this strategy is the Dharma Ransomware, and it is the exact project that the Myday Ransomware is based on. Other malware belonging to the Dharma family is the Pcs Ransomware

The latter is a fairly new file-encryption Trojan, which is being spread online via various methods. The malicious file might come with a phishing email, or you might find it while looking for a game crack or software activator to download. Stay away from pirated content, and be cautious when interacting with unknown sites/files. Last but not least, use an up-to-date antivirus tool at all times. Follow these simple steps to protect your system from the Myday Ransomware's devastating attack.

But what happens if you fail to stop the Myday Ransomware?

This ransomware encrypts a wide range of file formats that may contain valuable information – spreadsheets, documents, media, archives, etc. Once it locks a file, it adds a new extension to its name – '.id-<VICTIM ID>.[everyday@dr.com].myday.' Just like other file-lockers, this one also finishes off its destructive attack by dropping a ransom message. In this case, the document goes by the name 'FILES ENCRYPTED.txt.'

The ransom message sheds some light on the attack, and lists the demands of the criminals. They ask to receive some Bitcoin and promise to provide a decryptor in return. The criminals also offer 'free decryption as guarantee' – but for just one small file.
