Generality of CryptoWall Decrypter

CryptoWall Decrypter is an encrypting virus that does not block your whole screen but to ask for money to help decrypt your precious and valuable files. It belongs to ransomware and the ransom it calls for is 1.16BTC (about 500USD). CryptoWall Decrypter threatens that if no money submission is completed within the validity, the ransom will be doubled. So fat CryptoWall Decrypter aims at enterprises mainly as the data files are much more valuable, besides, the boss could afford the amount of money or more. Of course, to get more money, CryptoWall Decrypter will not leave individuals alone.

The trick CryptoWall Decrypter adopts is pretty much the same as what Cryptordefense adopts:

CryptoWall Decrypter acquires RSA public key from its remote control server when its vicious codes is injected by a supportive worm/Trojan (that is what CryptoWall Decrypter’s virion in the following paragraphs refers to). A new AES key will be consequently generated to encrypt almost all types of files. In other word, the encrypted documents are locked down by two kinds of key. One of them can be accessed on its controller and the other is in the hand of CryptoWall Decrypter’ maker.

Is There A Way to Decrypt Files?

Unfortunately there’s no way to help decipher the affected files, at least for now. Then why you write this article?

This article is written to spread the information on the dangers of CryptoWall Decrypter and the ways to prevent from being attacked (at the end of this article) by it for wide range of PC users. Besides, removing CryptoWall Decrypter’s virion and decrypting files are not the same thing. Though it has not found a way to help restore the encrypted items, victims should actively remove its virion so as to stop any further harms:

1. CryptoWall Decrypter’s virion could disable Safe Mode functionality, the longer CryptoWall Decrypter stays on a machine, the more forms of Safe Mode will be disabled.
2. CryptoWall Decrypter’s virion could make some key combinations fail.
3. CryptoWall Decrypter belongs to Trojan horse which can record any put-in information such as the bank accounts and password one types to submit the so-called ransom.
4. CryptoWall Decrypter’s virion could open up a backdoor to upload collected information to its remote server, bring in additional infections for extra income, load private keys for decryption
5. CryptoWall Decrypter’s virion is capable of affecting all the detected restore points or simply sweeping away them all.

It is obvious that whether you submit the money or not, you will suffer from either data loss or identity theft.
