This article will help you decrypt files encrypted by SureRansom, unCrypte, Globe .1, CryptoShield, SuchSecurity, Kaenlupuf viruses.
The ever-changing ransomware scenery has seen newer distribution techniques, many new viruses and even evolved doxware infections for mobile phones. The ransomware infections are now using services such as Dropbox in which the criminals upload malicious files and post the download link In e-mails instead of uploading e-mail attachments in archives. Instead, different types of files, such as executable SFX archives that are modified to cause infection by auto extracting malicious files. One thing hasn’t changed much however and this is the encryption algorithm. There are still many ransomware viruses that were successfully decrypted in time and we are posting our 5th update with links to decryption instructions of those viruses. If you are interested in looking for more decryptable viruses, feel free to visit our previous 4 parts of decryption updates in the frame below:

Globe v3 .1 File Extension Decryption
A variant of the 3rd iteration of Globe ransomware, this virus has been reported to use the .1 file extension which it adds to the encrypted files. There are many variants of globe ransomware, suggesting the virus is available on the deep web for download. Whatever the case may be, researchers have come up with a decrypter for all versions (v1, v2 and v3), which you can find below.

CryptoShield Ransomware Decryption
A variant of the notorious CryptoMix virus, this ransomware uses CryptoWall’s ransom note where it claims to use an AES cipher for the encrypted files and RSA for generating decryption keys. Despite this, the virus came in several different versions, suggesting the criminals behind it are attempting to make improvements or fix something within it. Thanks to malware researcher Jakub Kroustek, some instances of CryptoShield ransomware, using the .cryptoshield file extension can now be successfully decrypted.

“Such Security” Ransomware Decryption
A ransomware using the Doge meme to display it’s ransom screen and the .locked file extension, has been spotted to infect terminals in public buildings. Eventually this led to it being researched and later confirmed to be a variant of the open source EDA2 ransomware project. This project includes ransomware source code which is also decryptable.

Your Windows Has Been Banned(Blocked) Virus – Decryption
A virus that has been detected and published by Microsoft cyber-security experts to lock the screen of the infected computer and display an error message similar to the Windows blue screen of death (BSOD).
The virus then demands victims to pay a hefty ransom fee of 200$ via PayPal to get the screen unlocked again.
However, the malware writers have left behind the unlock code for this virus in it’s source code and we have instructions on how to unlock it below.
