Remove Rugj Ransomware
The attack of the Rugj Ransomware can leave your files in an encrypted state. Victims of this threat will be unable to rely on free decryption tools since Rugj Ransomware uses a flawless file-locking mechanism. If you see this malware on your device, you will notice the '.rugj' extension at the end of the names of many of your files. This threat belongs to the STOP/Djvu family of file-lockers, which makes it much more dangerous. This threat has been around for over two years and, unfortunately, none of its versions are decryptable for free.
Of course, the creators of the Rugj Ransomware ask all of their victims to purchase a decryptor. The initial price is set to $490, and the criminals threaten to double it after 72 hours. They also give their victims one week to complete the payment – otherwise they threaten to delete their decryption key permanently.
Rugj Ransomware's creators ask to receive the money through Bitcoin, and demand to be contacted via the emails manager@mailtemp.ch and supporthelp@airmail.cc. You should not agree to their offer, because it is very likely that you will have your money stolen. Also, keep in mind that Rugj Ransomware's operators offer to unlock one small file for free – you should make use of this opportunity. If you are Rugj Ransomware's victim, you need to start the recovery process by running an up-to-date malware removal tool. After you take care of this task, you should explore other data recovery options that could help you restore some of your data.
