The Magniber virus is ransomware that encrypts files using cryptography ciphers, appends the .ihsdj and .kgpvwnr file extensions to the end of the file names, and downloads a ransom note named READ_ME_FOR_DECRYPT_[id].txt throughout the infected computer. This computer virus is known to be the successor to Cerber.

Once the Magniber virus has encrypted files it will download the ransom note in attempt to gather a ransom. The ransom note explains what happened and how to obtain bitcoins to purcahse a decryption key and special tool to decrypt files the way that the malware authors want them to.

Here’s an example of one of the ransom notes used by Magniber ransomware:

ALL Y0UR D0CUMENTS, PHOTOS, DATABASES AND OTHER IMP0RTANT FILES HAVE BEEN ENCRYPTED!
Your files are NOT damaged! Your files are modified only. This modification is reversible.

The only 1 way to decrypt your files is to receive the private key and decryption program.

Any attempts to restore your files with the third-party software will be fatal for your files!
To receive the private key and decryption program follow the instructions below:

1. Download “Tor Browser” from https://www.torproject.org/ and install it.

2. In the “Tor Browser” open your personal page here:

http://[victim_id].ofotqrmsrdc6c3rz.onion/EP866p5M93wDS513

Note! This page is available via “Tor Browser” only.
Also you can use temporary addresses on your personal page without using “Tor Browser”:

Magniber

Magniber Ransomware is a cryptographic virus that has been spotted just recently. This threat has the typical malicious features of a Ransomware infection because it secretly applies an encryption to the victims’ files, adds a file extension and wants them to pay ransom in order to reverse the encryption. Shortly after its appearance, the malicious software has managed to launch several cyber-attacks and has affected various institutions, businesses, and regular online users. If you have been attacked, on this page, we will do our best to help you deal with Magniber Ransomware and minimize its harmful consequences.

Just read the information that follows and carefully proceed to the instructions in the removal guide below.

Magniber Ransomware – a new crypto virus that attacks different targets and wants a ransom

Ahnlab Magniber Decrypt V4 1 Download

Magniber is a Ransomware threat that poses a serious challenge to security professionals. This malware has a unique encryption algorithm and creates a unique ransom message for the encrypted files. The hackers, who control the Ransomware, are using it to extort money out of their victims by depriving them of access to their own data. They place a ransom notification on the infected computer that informs the victim that they have to pay a certain amount of money for the recovery of the encrypted files. The payment is requested normally in Bitcoin, which is the preferred crypto currency used in many illegal operations. The pay-as-you-go system is legitimate, but the cyber criminals use it because it’s anonymous and untraceable. In the case of a Ransomware attack, it hides a great risk of losing your money without any chance of getting them back or trace them in case that the hackers disappear and do not send any decryption solution. For this reason it is advisable not to make any ransom payments but remove Magniber to protect your computer from further malware attacks.

If the guide doesn’t help, download the anti-virus program we recommended or try our free online virus scanner. Also, you can always ask us in the comments for help!

As for alternative methods of recovering your information, instead of paying ransom and not getting anything in return, there are some tools you can use. We have described several techniques for file-restoration under the article. However, before you take any action to recover them, first you should remove the Ransomware virus. To complete this task, we advise you to use the manual removal guide which can help you detect and delete the related malicious scripts. If you are not sure what exactly you have to delete, you may also help yourself with a security program such as the professional Magniber Ransomware removal tool that can remove spyware and malware from your computer. If your files are encrypted, we hope you have backups. This is the most efficient way to recover files, that’s why we advise our readers to back up their information always. But not all is lost if you don’t have any. Check your external drives, cloud storage, USB storage and other non-infected devices for copies or contact a professional for additional assistance.

Methods of distribution and infection of Ransomware

Ransomware viruses primarily attack victims with unprotected computers. Most often this malware spreads through spam, Trojan horses, and exploitation tools, but can be inserted into your computer system using an RDP attack as well. To protect your system, you have to do a few things and try not to repeat certain errors again. First, we advise you to secure your computer with an anti-malware program. Then back up your information. Copy your most important files and transfer them to an external storage such as a portable hard drive or USB memory. Keep it away from the computer and use it only when needed. And finally, we recommend updating your programs regularly. In other words, when your computer offers you to install an update to the programs you have, agree. You can also turn on automatic updates and save some time. Remember, you should never install software updates that come from non-reputed developers or sketchy pop-ups. Always stick to the official website and software developer and avoid installations from torrents, email attachments, pop-up links, and ads.

Remove Magniber Ransomware with security software or the manual removal guide

If you are one of those “lucky people” whose computer has been compromised by the Magniber Ransomware virus, you should remove the Ransomware as soon as possible. We advise you to try the easiest way and run a system scan using professional malware removal software. If you do not have any, there is the removal program available below. In case the malware prevents you from running security software, below you will find detailed instructions on how to detect and remove the malicious scripts manually.

Do not try to delete files you are not sure about and stick only to the removal guide. Any wrong attempts to uninstall the Ransomware on your own without knowing what you are doing can lead to failure or even more problems. In case of doubt, we suggest you leave us a comment or contact an experienced IT professional who have experience with viruses of the type.
