WHAT IS RANSOMWARE?

Ransomware is classified as a type of malware that interferes with a computer system by limiting, or completely cutting off, a user’s access to their files until a ransom is paid. The attacker demands a ransom from the victim, promising — not always truthfully — to restore access to the data upon payment. It’s always best NOT to pay the ransom, but instead to engage a professional ransomware data company to restore your files.

WHAT IS MAKOP RANSOMWARE?

MAKOP ransomware is an encryption ransomware Trojan that has been active for a few years. The latest variant is released early 2021

It is a malicious program that is classified as ransomware (aka. malware). Cybercriminals encrypt your files, blocking you from accessing them.

They then demand you pay a ransom to access a decryption tool to recover your files. Once the ransom is paid, the cybercriminals rarely send the decryption tool. In most cases, the perpetrator’s email will be blocked or further ransomware demands are made.

MAKOP ransomware creates a text file called “readme-warnring.txt” and displays a ransom note in a pop-up window in some cases.

This ransomware also renames all encrypted files by adding the “.MAKOP” extension (together with the victim’s ID and the email address of the .MAKOP hacker). For example, if a file is named “1.jpg“, then .MAKOP will rename it to “1.jpg.id-1E857D00-1234.[hacker@email.com].MAKOP” and so on.

Each ID will be a unique infection. Please advise us when submitting your quote if you have multiple IDs.

Submit an online case or talk to our ransomware specialist to assist with MAKOP Ransomware recovery

MAKOP Ransomware Extensions

MAKOP Ransomware uses some limited variants such as ZES, ZBW, Fair and MAKOP.

The ransomware note will have [random_numbers]-readme.html” file. MAKOP drops this file in every folder that contains encrypted files.

When submitting a ticket, please upload all the ransomware notes and 1 sample file of each

Fast Data Recovery guarantee full recovery from all types of MAKOP and our work is guaranteed.

WHY SHOULD I BE CONCERNED ABOUT RANSOWMARE?

Knowledge is power! – It is essential to understand the facts behind ransomware to better protect yourself

Ransomware occurs on a system due to weak security of some sort. If you are reading this you are properly a victim!

Here is some information you need to understand and take seriously

How is your system been comprised and infected with ransomware?

1. Cybercriminals will run a BOT (A bot is a form of an automated scan searching the interned for valurnerable network systems and attempt to comprise its security)
2. Once your system vulnerability has been identified, Hackers will buy the comprised list through underground websites
3. The ransomware hackers will use the details to comprise and infect your system with ransomware
4. Most often the BOT list is sold to multiple hackers

Have you removed the infected system from your network?

1. This is a common mistake!! – isolating the infected system from your network is 50% of the solution.
2. Hackers use group policy to distribute ransomware across your network and it remains undetected by most antivirus/malware software.
3. Ransomware time-bomb, backdoor and keyloogers often implemented on your network to allow hackers to gain access to your network especially if you pay the ransom.

Please be warned, once you have been infected, its emanate that you are very likely to get another attack.

We recommend a full security check on your network to identify the penetration point(s) and make sure adequate security is implemented prior to your data recovery

We offer ransomware prevention and ransomware recovery serivces parallel to ensure your files are recovered on ransomware risk free system without delaying the recovery of your files (our recovery and prevention team work parallel to ensure the prevention and recovery are done simultaneously)

TIPS TO PROTECT YORU NETWORK FROM MAKOP RANSOMWARE?

In order to protect yourself from the MAKOP variant, or from any other ransomware, it is important that you use good computing habits and security software. First and foremost, you should always have a reliable and tested backup of your data that can be restored in the case of an emergency, such as a ransomware attack.

You should also have security software (please talk to us about our recommendations) as most antivirus do not provide complete protection

Last, but not least, make sure you practice the following good online security habits, which in many cases are the most important steps of all:

• Backup, Backup, Backup!
• Do not open attachments if you do not know who sent them.
• Restrict RDP access
• Make sure all Windows updates are installed as soon as they come out! Also make sure you update all programs.
• Update older programs contain security vulnerabilities that are commonly exploited by malware distributors. Therefore it is important to keep them updated.
• Make sure you have a recommended security software installed.
• Setup a password lockout
• Use complex passwords and never reuse the same password at multiple sites. SUBMIT AN ONLINE CASE OR TALK TO OUR RANSOMWARE SPECIALIST TO ASSIST WITH RANSOMWARE PREVENTION
• 

IS YOUR SYSTEM INFECTED WITH MAKOP RANSOMWARE?

If you are infected with the MAKOP ransomware, you most likely will experience some (or all of) the following:

Pop-up message advising you that your data has been encrypted and demanding that you pay a ransom.
Files won’t open.
Files have been renamed with a new extension added (MAKOP) and a contact hackers email address
Applications won’t open.
Antivirus software is disabled.
Computer system locked down.
Computer system running slowly.

Submit an online case or talk to our ransomware specialist to assist with MAKOP Ransomware recovery

Should you pay the ransom?

We do not recommend paying hackers. It’s a small chance of getting your files back.

Hackers in some instances may release personal information about your company to the public if you contact them and do not meet their ransom demands. Its strongly recommended not to communicate with them. (using an alternate email does not keep your identity safe as each infection has a unique code to identify you)

Scenarios from customer’s feedback who paid the ransom without engaging a ransomware recovery company to recover without paying the ransom or at least negotiate in case we are unable to recover in a timely manner.
1. The hackers may ask you for extra money after you make the first payment (The trend)
2. The hacker’s email usually gets closed down by the email provider (Once the email is reported to the domain webmaster their email will be shut down. Usually thousands of victims are infected at the same time so the likely-hood of this happening is very high)
3. They send you a sample file, take your money and simply stop responding
4. They may recover all/some of your files

In the event where we are unable to recover from your type of ransomware or able to recover in a timely manner, we can use our resources and experience to obtain the decryption at still offer a No Data No Charge for peace of mind

How Do You Deal with an Infected System?

Once you realize your system has been infected by MAKOP Ransomware, remove your infected system from the network (do not shut down as you can cause further damage). Do not make any attempts to remove the ransomware yourself by running an antivirus program as this may also cause further damage to your files.

At this point, you should call in our Ransomware expert to access the situation and provide you with the best way forward.

RANSOMWARE PREVENTION & SECURITY AUDIT?

Fast Data Recovery offers a comprehensive Ransomware Prevention and Protection service against Ransomware attacks.

If the worst happens and you become infected with MAKOP RANSOMWARE or similar crypto-malware, we advise that you disconnect the infected system from the network (we do not advice to shut down your system as this may corrupt your data or system files further and prevent a quick repair).

DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE RANSOMWARE. By running Antivirus or Malware removal software you may cause further damage and make the encryption irreversible.

Ransomware removal and the recovery of your valuable data should always be left to an experienced ransomware recovery expert.

Fast Data Recovery has the knowledge, resources and expertise to recover your data and completely remove all known forms of ransomware and malware. In most cases, we manage to recover 100% of our customer’s encrypted data.

Our data recovery process is quick, simple and entirely focused on restoring your valuable data and getting your business back on track as quickly as possible.
