Remove WOLF Ransomware
The WOLF Ransomware is a new version of the Dharma file-locker. It does not have any changes concerning to its core functionality. Unfortunately, this means that it still causes potentially irreversible damage to the files of its victim. Of course, its creators claim to offer a working decryption service – but only to victims who accept to send some Bitcoin to their wallet.
The WOLF Ransomware may reach victims through fake downloads, phishing emails, cracked software, and other pirated content. You should remember to stay away from shady types of files, and to always keep your system safe via antivirus software. Encountering this malware can be very dangerous, because even if you manage to remove the threat, you will still have a disk full of encrypted files.
How does the WOLF Ransomware Attack Look Like?
After this ransomware infects a system, it will lock you out of your important files. It goes after a long list of formats – documents, archives, pictures, videos, databases, projects, and more. You will be able to spot the files it damages because of the unique suffix it adds to their name – .id-<VICTIM ID>.[seawolf@onionmail.org].WOLF.
The ransomware also automatically spawns a message in a new window titled seawolf@onionmail.org. It advises the victim to send a message to this address or to seawolf@msgsafe.io for additional details. The criminals promise to help recover the data of all victims who accept to complete a ransom payment. A copy of the ransom message is also available in the document 'info.txt' that the WOLF Ransomware creates after it finishes the file-encryption task. Victims of the WOLF Ransomware should not accept the offer of the crooks. Sending them money is not a guarantee that they will help out. Many ransomware victims end up losing both their money and their data after agreeing to pay. The best course of action is to eliminate the WOLF Ransomware with antivirus software, and then experiment with 3rd-party data decryption or recovery software.
