In order to stay safe in future we recommend you to check our forum for safety tips. They could help you to prevent infections like.Защищено RSA-2048 ransomware from infecting your system.
.Защищено RSA-2048 Files Virus – Overview
The infection process with .Защищено RSA-2048 files virus begins with the execution of its payload on the system. Once started on your system this file initiates a sequence of various malicious activities that aim to plague essential system settings and enable the ransomware to evade detection.
Like the majority of ransomware infections, .Защищено RSA-2048 will probably leave some of its traits in some of the following system folders:
%AppData%
%Local%
%LocalLow%
%Roaming%
%Temp%
%Windows%
Before this Russian ransomware could reach the data encryption stage, it needs to interfere with some basic settings that control the regular system performance. Among the affected components are likely to be the Windows registry sub-keys Run and RunOnce. The functionalities of the first one could be used by the ransomware for the automatic execution of malicious files on each system start. So if you want to prevent this crypto virus from loading whenever you start your device, you should find all malicious values added under the Run sub-key and remove them.
Soon after the ransomware completes all infection stages, it drops the text file Как все эту шалашкину контору расшифровать.txt and loads it on the screen. The purpose of this message written in Russian is to blackmail you into transferring hackers an amount of 50 Russian Rubles converted in Bitcoin as a ransom fee for corrupted files.
Here is the text of the original ransom message displayed by this ransomware:
Привет дорогой друг! Да, я скупой жадина но я должен это сказать… прости… но……. все твои файлы… ЗАШИфРоВаНЫ!1!!11!!11!1 :DDDDDDDDD Алгоритм RSA! 2048 бит! 4096 лень! Он на простых числах базируется он. Сейчас расскажу вам просто. Пишите на [email protected] Мы предоставляем: Бесплатную расшифровку, Платную расшифровку (и Договорную расшифровку) * Договорная расшифровка – это если Вы имеете файлы старой давности, которые копили много лет, то дешифратор предоставляется бесплатно. Платная расшифровка стоит – 50 рублей в биткоинах, кошелек сделаем для Вас уникальным. * Бесплатно расшифровать можно 5 файлов с размером 5 или меньше МБ. Я не обманываю Вас, + даю при оплате советы по улучшению безопасности и инструкции по дешифровке. * * – Услуги предоставляются если Вы для нас напишете письмо с файлом Крайне важная инфа.RSA-2048 файл
Converted in English with the help of an online translator, the same message reads:
Hello my dear friend! Yes, I am a mean greedy but I have to say it … forgive … but ……. all your files … are encrypted! 1 !! 11 !! 11! 1: DDDDDDDDD The RSA algorithm! 2048 bits! 4096 too lazy! It is based on primes it. I’ll tell you just now. Write to [email protected] We provide: Free decryption, Paid decryption (and Contractual decryption) * Contractual decryption – if you have old-time files that you have been collecting for many years, then the decoder is provided free of charge. Paid decryption costs – 50 rubles in bitcoins, the wallet will be made unique for you. * You can decrypt 5 files with a size of 5 MB or less for free. I am not deceiving you, + I give payment tips for improving security and instructions for decrypting. * * – Services are provided if you write a letter for us with a file Extremely important infa.RSA-2048 file
Apparently, what hackers demand is a ransom fee of 50 Russian Rubles transferred in Bitcoin. Beware, that even a successful ransom payment does not guarantee the recovery of your encrypted files.
.Защищено RSA-2048 Files Virus – Encryption Process
All initial system modifications are applied so that the .Защищено RSA-2048 files virus could reach the main infection stage which is data encryption. For the completion of this stage, the ransomware activates a built-in encryption module that utilizes sophisticated cipher algorithm. This algorithm is known to be the RSA-2018. It encodes parts of target files’ original code and leaves them out of order. So when the encryption is done all corrupted files remain inaccessible and marked with the specific extension .Защищено RSA-2048.
Unfortunately, all files that store sensitive information could be encrypted by this ransomware including:
Audio files
Video files
Document files
Image files
Backup files
Banking credentials, etc

4. Try to Restore files encrypted by .Защищено RSA-2048 Files Virus
Try to Restore Files Encrypted by .Защищено RSA-2048 Files Virus
Ransomware infections and .Защищено RSA-2048 Files Virus aim to encrypt your files using an encryption algorithm which may be very difficult to decrypt. This is why we have suggested several alternative methods that may help you go around direct decryption and try to restore your files. Bear in mind that these methods may not be 100% effective but may also help you a little or a lot in different situations.
Method 1: Scanning your drive’s sectors by using Data Recovery software. Another method for restoring your files is by trying to bring back your files via data recovery software. Here are some suggestions for preferred data recovery software solutions:
Method 2: Trying Kaspersky and EmsiSoft’s decryptors. If the first method does not work, we suggest trying to use decryptors for other ransomware viruses, in case your virus is a variant of them. The two primary developers of decryptors are Kaspersky and EmsiSoft, links to which we have provided below:
To restore your data in case you have backup set up, it is important to check for Volume Shadow Copies, if ransomware has not deleted them, in Windows using the below software:
Method 4: Finding the decryption key while the cryptovirus sends it over a network via a sniffing tool.
Another way to decrypt the files is by using a Network Sniffer to get the encryption key, while files are encrypted on your system. A Network Sniffer is a program and/or device monitoring data traveling over a network, such as its internet traffic and internet packets. If you have a sniffer set before the attack happened you might get information about the decryption key. See how-to instructions below:
