'backdata@qq.com' Ransomware

The 'backdata@qq.com' Ransomware is a file-locking Trojan from the Dharma Ransomware branch of the Crysis Ransomware's family. This Ransomware-as-a-Service threat can encrypt your media, delete its backups, and drop messages asking for money for a decryption service. The users should avoid paying, keep backups for saving their files from any attacks, and let their anti-malware solutions deal with uninstalling the 'backdata@qq.com' Ransomware as appropriate.

Fake Adobe Software for File-Locking Problems

The Ransomware-as-a-Service or RaaS way of doing 'business' with file-locking Trojans is staying strong as of February, with new versions of prominent families like the Crysis Ransomware continuing to make appearances. The 'backdata@qq.com' Ransomware, the next release for the Dharma Ransomware fork of the Crysis Ransomware's RaaS business, is attacking unknown users while hiding itself under the well-known brand of Adobe. While this disguise is surface-level, only, malware experts note that it could suffice for tricking any users making cursory inspections.

The three hundred-kilobyte Windows EXE that is the 'backdata@qq.com' Ransomware's installer omits a digital signature, instead, hoping that a fake Adobe copyright and misleading name ('LogSession') will be enough to keep the users from becoming suspicious. Its attacks, like those of relatives like the'newsantaclaus@aol.com' Ransomware, the 'suppfirecrypt@qq.com' Ransomware, the 'syndicateXXX@aol.com' Ransomware or the icrypt@cock.li Ransomware, use secure the AES and RSA cryptography for 'locking' all media files.

The 'backdata@qq.com' Ransomware can reboot the computer automatically after the completion of the above attack. After doing so, the victims may note new pop-ups or text messages that carry the ransoming instructions for the campaign's decryption service. Since there are issues with freely decrypting and unlocking any files from this family, malware experts encourage using backups for keeping any files safe from this extortion heavily.

Trimming the 'backdata@qq.com' Ransomware's Family by One Member

Malware experts are hesitant for confirming the 'backdata@qq.com' Ransomware's fake Adobe credentials as being associated with how it's compromising new PCs. Threat actors, frequently, will deliver file-locking Trojans through means not associated with the information on the executable directly, which they even may delete after the attack's success. Strong cases can be made for the 'backdata@qq.com' Ransomware infections arriving through e-mail attachments or links in the near future, although other means also are within the realm of possibility.

The users can check their Restore Points for one possible restoration option for any of their encrypted media. However, the 'backdata@qq.com' Ransomware's family of the Dharma Ransomware is noted, like most RaaS operations, for deleting them as a matter of habit. Saving backups to another, less accessible device is ideal for the security of your files, and traditional anti-malware products should delete the 'backdata@qq.com' Ransomware without letting the attacks happen.

Overstating the value of preventative maintenance for data storage and network security is difficult, for file-locking Trojans like the 'backdata@qq.com' Ransomware especially. When a data attack that takes scant minutes is all but irreversible, stopping it from happening at all is everyone's responsibility.
