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.

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)

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

Once you realize your system has been infected by PHOBOS 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.
