Remove Spyro Ransomware
The Spyro Ransomware, a file-encryption Trojan, is a new threat that threatens users worldwide. It does not seem to be a part of any of the currently active ransomware families. This means that its developers have developed it from scratch and, unfortunately, they are using this malware to extort their victims for money. When the Spyro Ransomware compromises a computer successfully, it will encrypt files on its hard drive. It goes after a long list of file formats, but its usual targets are documents, media, archives, databases, etc. The Spyro Ransomware encrypts the contents of these files and appends a new extension to their original name – '.[BlackSpyro@tutanota.com][<VICTIM ID>].Spyro.'
There is not enough information to determine the exact methods Spyro Ransomware's creators use to spread the malware. They are likely to rely on the typical malware propagation tricks – email attachments, fake downloads, deceptive ads, etc. We advise you to stay away from suspicious Web destinations, as well as to avoid downloading email attachments if they come from an unknown sender. Do not forget that cybercriminals often impersonate legitimate individuals and companies, so make sure to check the exact email of the sender and whether it matches the real one.
Unfortunately, users who have to recover from Spyro Ransomware's attack may have a hard time doing so. There is no free decryptor able to crack open Spyro's encryption routine – this means that the only viable option to recover files is to do so from a backup.
The crooks behind this project offer to sell a decryptor, but they do not mention the exact price of the service. Instead, they ask the victim to message them at BlackSpyro@tutanota.com or BlackSpyro@mailfence.com for additional details. They also offer to decrypt a few files for free – to prove that their decryption service works. While we advise you to take advantage of this offer, you should not co-operate with Spyro Ransomware's creators any further. Trying to purchase anything from them is likely to get you scammed.
Victims of the Spyro Ransomware should run a malware removal tool to eliminate the threat and then experiment with alternative file recovery software and techniques
