EagleLocker EXPOSED: .daibang Files, a $1000 Pop-Up, and a Jigsaw Clone

You open Documents the way you did yesterday. The first photo should still be 1.jpg. The snapshot should still be 2.png. The installer copy should still be 3.exe. The vacation shot should still be vacation.jpg. The invoice should still be invoice-2026.pdf. Instead every familiar type has a second ending tacked on. 1.jpg is now 1.jpg.daibang. 2.png is now 2.png.daibang. 3.exe is now 3.exe.daibang. Windows may call the type a DAIBANG File and offer a useless “choose an app” box.

Then a window you did not open takes the screen. The title says === EagleLocker v1.0 ===. Behind it the wallpaper reads Ooops, your important files are encrypted. There is no README in the folder. There is no email address to write. The demand lives in that pop-up. If the window is gone, the wallpaper tells you to find @daibang@.exe and run it.

That is the trap, not a glitch.

This page is for the hour those names appear. It is not a miracle key. It is a map of the trap, so a joke locker does not become your incident plan.

Encrypted files after EagleLocker. The .daibang names are the tell.
Encrypted files after EagleLocker. The .daibang names are the tell.

Overview

EagleLocker ransomware locks the files first. Then it keeps the old name and the old type, and hangs .daibang on the end. Then it shows a pop-up and paints the desktop. The pop-up is the storefront. It says all your files are under eagle protection. It tells you to stay calm. Then it tells you to pay 5 mice, 1 fat rabbit. Then it tells you to pay 1000$. Then it tells you to solve the challenge. Then it signs __EagleBoiz_. Then the real checkout: send $1000 worth of Bitcoin to 1JigsawqXeMKhGtoDqASgPDbH8g36EuP3A. A button at the bottom says I made a payment, now give me back my files!

If you are staring at a pile of .daibang files and that window, you are in a ransom incident, not a broken disk and not a Windows help pop-up. The folder is the evidence. The window is a checkout. Stay with the folder, not with the joke.

The first tell is the rename. In the sample used for this page, 1.jpg becomes 1.jpg.daibang. 2.png becomes 2.png.daibang. The same stamp is what you will see on other everyday files in the same folder. You can still read what the file used to be. You cannot open it. An app cannot talk locked bytes back into a JPEG. There is 0% chance Photos can open 1.jpg.daibang because you picked a viewer.

The second tell is the pop-up. Most lockers drop a README next to the photos. EagleLocker skips that paper trail. The pitch lives in a window titled === EagleLocker v1.0 ===. That window is meant to be the first English you can still read when the photos will not open. It is not a help desk. It is a $1000 Bitcoin checkout wearing a joke.

The third tell is the wallpaper. It says Ooops, your important files are encrypted. It says that if you see that text but you do not see the “daibang Decryptor” window, then security software removed the decrypt software or you deleted it. It tells you to find an application named @daibang@.exe in any folder, or pull it out of quarantine, then run it and follow the instructions. That is the locker pointing at its own binary. It is not Windows asking you to repair a photo.

The fourth tell is the family. Engines that see this build often tag it as a Jigsaw clone on HiddenTear bones. ESET has used MSIL/Filecoder.Jigsaw.B. Microsoft has used Ransom:MSIL/HiddenTear.B. Avast has used MSIL:Ransom-BU [Trj]. Kaspersky has used HEUR:Trojan-Ransom.MSIL.Lobzik.gen. Those names are family tags. They are not an unlock tool. They are not a reason to download a “Jigsaw decryptor” from an ad.

That is the whole pitch. A locked folder of .daibang names. A pop-up that jokes about mice and a fat rabbit, then asks for $1000 in Bitcoin. A wallpaper that tells you to run @daibang@.exe. No email contact. One wallet: 1JigsawqXeMKhGtoDqASgPDbH8g36EuP3A. A button that pretends payment already happened. Amateur joke locker. Jigsaw and HiddenTear family. Local decryptor binary often left on disk. There is no public free decryptor known for this strain. There is no reason to send that $1000. There is no reason to invent an inbox the pop-up never printed.

The .daibang name is the first warning

Most lockers pick an extension so you notice the change in seconds. This one uses .daibang. The extra cruelty is how readable the listing stays. You do not have to decode anything. You can still see 1.jpg inside 1.jpg.daibang. You can still see 2.png inside 2.png.daibang. You can still see 3.exe inside 3.exe.daibang. You can still see the invoice year. The familiar words are still in the folder. The files are not familiar anymore.

Do not treat that readable name as a fix. Do not strip .daibang off the end and expect Photos or Excel to open the file. Do not run a bulk “extension fixer” you found in an ad. The name is a label. The lock is in the content. Editing the label can make a later trusted tool have a harder time matching the file to what it was. Leave the locked copies as they are until you have a clean machine and a plan that does not start in a Bitcoin send.

The extra ending also does advertising. Anyone who sees a pile of .daibang files can pretend they already have your case. A later fake helper will quote the extension back to you as if that were expertise. The extension is public. It is sitting in the folder. Quoting it proves nothing except that they can read a listing.

The demand lives in a pop-up, not a text file

EagleLocker does not leave a README, a HOW_TO_DECRYPT, or a recover.txt next to 1.jpg.daibang. The note is a window. That is why a panicked first look feels like the operating system itself is talking. A pop-up sits on top of Explorer. It looks closer to a program you already trust than a stray .txt file does.

Read the body the way you would read a stall sign, not a technician. === EagleLocker v1.0 === All your files are under eagle protection. To recover them: 1. Stay calm. 2. Pay 5 mice, 1 fat rabbit. 3. Or pay 1000$. 4. Or solve the challenge. __EagleBoiz_ Send $1000 worth of Bitcoin to this address: 1JigsawqXeMKhGtoDqASgPDbH8g36EuP3A. Then the button: I made a payment, now give me back my files! That is the whole costume.

Keep a screenshot of that window if you already have one. Then close it. Do not treat the numbered list as a set of steps you should follow. Do not click the payment button “just to see.” Do not type a seed phrase into anything that window opens. The pop-up is how a responder matches this locker. It is not a control panel.

The wallpaper tells you to run @daibang@.exe

After the files are locked, the desktop changes. Ooops, your important files are encrypted. If you see this text, but you do not see the “daibang Decryptor” window, then your antivirus removed the decrypt software or you deleted it from your computer. If you need your files you have to run the decrypt software. Please find an application file named @daibang@.exe in any folder or restore it from quarantine. Run and follow the instructions.

That paragraph is the locker talking about its own UI. Jigsaw clones often leave a decryptor binary on disk. HiddenTear-style builds do the same trick. The wallpaper is written so you will hunt that file and launch it again after security software already stopped the window. Running @daibang@.exe because a ransom wallpaper told you to is still following attacker instructions.

Do not treat the wallpaper as a login. Do not hunt a hidden password in the pixels. Do not “restore default wallpaper” as if that were a decrypt. Changing the picture back does not unlock vacation.jpg.daibang. It only removes one piece of evidence if you do it before you photograph the screen. Take the photo first. Then leave the glass alone until you have a clean machine and a real plan.

Pay 5 mice is the tell, not a discount

The joke line is doing a job. Stay calm. Pay 5 mice, 1 fat rabbit. Or pay 1000$. Or solve the challenge. A person who is already scared will read that as a prank, then as a puzzle, then as a small $1000 bill that feels almost reasonable next to the mice. That slide is the product. Amateur joke lockers use humor so you drop your guard. Humor is not a refund policy.

There is no mice wallet. There is no rabbit wallet. There is no challenge portal printed in the window. This page will not invent one. The only payment channel the pop-up actually printed is Bitcoin, $1000, to 1JigsawqXeMKhGtoDqASgPDbH8g36EuP3A. If a later helper says they will “solve the challenge for you,” they are finishing a sentence the locker left as bait. Do not help them.

The sign-off is part of the same costume. __EagleBoiz_ looks like a crew name a teenager would type. Eagle protection sounds like a brand. v1.0 sounds like software you installed on purpose. None of that makes the lock less real. A joke locker can still wreck a household. 100% of the checkout still sits in that window even when the copy is silly.

There is no email, so later inboxes are a second shop

Look at what the pop-up does not give you. There is no contact email. There is no second inbox. There is no onion site. There is no Session ID. There is no victim ID to paste. There is no support ticket. This page will not invent them. A missing inbox is not a puzzle you solve by guessing a Gmail. A missing onion is not a coupon.

The only address on the flyer is a Bitcoin string that already contains the word Jigsaw: 1JigsawqXeMKhGtoDqASgPDbH8g36EuP3A. That is a tell, not a customer service desk. Anyone who later writes you from a random mail account and quotes .daibang or the mice line is standing in a doorway the original window left empty. Do not answer. Do not send a sample photo so they can “prove the key.”

EagleLocker is a locker name, not a product you bought

EagleLocker looks like a tool tag. Eagle protection looks like a security suite. EagleBoiz looks like a studio. This page is not a smear of any ordinary app that happens to use an eagle in its name. If a program you actually installed happens to use similar letters, that does not make it this locker. This locker is the one that appends .daibang, shows the === EagleLocker v1.0 === pop-up, paints the Ooops wallpaper, points at @daibang@.exe, and asks for $1000 in Bitcoin.

Do not hunt a random app folder because the window used those letters. Do not uninstall a title you like because a ransomware pop-up stole a bird. Do not mail a software vendor as if they ran the lock. The brand on the window is costume. The evidence is the extra ending on 1.jpg.daibang and 2.png.daibang, plus the pop-up and the wallpaper.

How The Ransomware Works

The shop is simple once you stop reading it as a rescue. Lock the files. Brand the names with .daibang. Open a pop-up that jokes, then asks for $1000. Paint the wallpaper so the same shout follows you. Point recovery at @daibang@.exe. Print one Bitcoin address. Print no email. Leave a payment button that pretends the send already happened. Sign it EagleBoiz. Then wait for someone else to sell a key, an inbox, or a “real Jigsaw decryptor.”

1. Something already ran

EagleLocker does not arrive as a Windows feature. Something executed. Common roads for this kind of locker are infected email attachments, pirated software, cracks and keygens, torrent sites, USB drives, third-party downloaders, fake update pages, deceptive ads, and tech support scams. The user usually starts the payload by opening a file or running a program that looked useful for ten seconds.

You do not need a perfect origin story before you treat the folder as an incident. The origin matters later for a report. Right now the tell is in Documents. 1.jpg.daibang next to 2.png.daibang is enough. A pop-up titled EagleLocker v1.0 is enough. A wallpaper that names @daibang@.exe is enough. Do not keep opening the same installer “to see if it was nothing.”

2. Everyday files pick up .daibang

Once it runs, EagleLocker encrypts the files it wants as leverage, then appends .daibang. That is why 1.jpg is still readable as 1.jpg.daibang, and why 2.png is still readable as 2.png.daibang. The operators want you to inventory the damage in seconds. They want you to see the photo, the snapshot, the installer, the vacation shot, and the invoice in one glance. A coded filename can confuse you. A readable filename makes you feel the theft.

If only one folder looks wrong, do not assume the rest of the disk is safe. Ransomware walks trees. It hits Documents, Desktop, Pictures, Downloads, and any drive letter it can reach, including a USB stick you forgot was plugged in. Do not plug in a copy “just to check.” Checking is how the extra copy gets the same .daibang ending.

Double-clicking a renamed file does not bring the photo back. The thumbnail may already look broken. Excel may ask for a workbook that is still sitting in the same folder, only the bytes inside are no longer a workbook. That broken open is the first proof. The second proof is the extra ending. Together they are enough. You do not need to click the payment button to confirm what you are looking at.

3. A window replaces the usual ransom note

Once the names are branded, the malware needs a voice. Other families cover the glass with a text file. This one opens a pop-up. === EagleLocker v1.0 === feels like a program you are supposed to finish. It feels like a wizard. That is how a locked photo folder starts to feel like a checkout.

The window is also a hiding trick. While you are reading Stay calm and Pay 5 mice, you are not calmly sorting 1.jpg.daibang next to 2.png.daibang. You are not photographing Explorer. You are not calling someone who can help. The demand is in a window. The evidence is in the listing. Read the pop-up as a sales flyer. Then close it. Keep a screenshot. The files next to it still matter more than the joke.

4. The wallpaper hunts you even after you close the window

A pop-up can be closed. A wallpaper sits behind every window. EagleLocker uses both. The Ooops line is written in the same voice as old Jigsaw clones: your files are encrypted, the decrypt window is missing, go find the decrypt software, run it. The named file is @daibang@.exe. The named window is “daibang Decryptor.” That pair is how the locker tries to survive the first security alert.

Amateur joke lockers in the Jigsaw and HiddenTear family often leave that decryptor binary on disk on purpose. The wallpaper is the recovery manual for their own UI. If security software already quarantined @daibang@.exe, that is a good sign, not a prompt to restore it. Restoring attacker code because a wallpaper said the photos depend on it is how the pop-up comes back.

5. The joke line is bait, the $1000 is the checkout

Stay calm is not kindness. It is pacing. Pay 5 mice, 1 fat rabbit is not a meme you should try to complete. Or pay 1000$ is the number they actually want. Or solve the challenge is a blank dare with no rules printed. The slide from joke to $1000 is meant to make Bitcoin feel like the grown-up option. It is still a ransom. A $ send to people who already locked the photos is still a ransom when the copy is silly.

Do not add a second price the window never printed. Do not start a personal countdown because a later message said “pay $ now or the mice deal expires.” The published pop-up printed $1000. It printed one Bitcoin address. Leave the rest uninvented. Leave the button unclicked.

6. The payment button is not a refund desk

The last control on the window is a button: I made a payment, now give me back my files! That sentence assumes you already sent the $1000. It is written in the past tense on purpose. It makes a person who has not paid feel late. It makes a person who has paid feel one click away from Photos. Neither feeling is a decrypt.

Clicking that button does not rebuild a JPEG. It can only tell the locker you are still following the script. It can only open the same dead end again. There is 0% chance a button on a ransom pop-up is a Windows repair. If you already clicked it before you found this page, stop there. Do not click it again. Do not send a second $1000 because the first click did nothing.

7. Jigsaw and HiddenTear names are family tags, not an unlock

This build sits in a long amateur line. Jigsaw ransomware used a pop-up, a joke tone, and a local decryptor window. HiddenTear is the open-source locker kit a lot of those clones start from. That is why one engine says MSIL/Filecoder.Jigsaw.B and another says Ransom:MSIL/HiddenTear.B. MSIL means managed .NET code, the same neighborhood those kits live in. Family is useful for a responder. Family is not a key.

Do not download a “Jigsaw decryptor” because a comment said all Jigsaw clones are the same. Do not run a HiddenTear unlocker on the assumption it fits EagleLocker. Do not restore @daibang@.exe and type a password you use for email. A local decryptor binary on disk is still attacker code. Joke lockers sometimes store keys badly. That possibility is not a reason to execute the payload again from the desktop.

Keep the detection names in your notes if Windows already showed them. Then leave the folklore alone. There is no public free decryptor known for this strain. This page is not going to pretend one was verified against these .daibang files. A later trusted project can publish a tool without you sending Bitcoin first. An ad cannot.

8. Third parties will sell an EagleLocker key

After a ransomware incident, search results fill up with companies that say they can decrypt EagleLocker or “all .daibang files.” Some of those shops are ordinary overpriced consultants. Plenty are a second scam. They will quote the mice line so they sound close to the case. They will mention $1000. They will mention 1JigsawqXeMKhGtoDqASgPDbH8g36EuP3A. They will mention @daibang@.exe as if they already called the original crew. They will ask for a sample file, a remote-access session, or a deposit.

A demo that “unlocks one file” is not proof they can unlock the vacation photo. Anyone can open one junk file they control. Anyone can send you a window that looks like daibang Decryptor. A fake decryptor is not Photos opening vacation.jpg again. If a later message skips the original Bitcoin address and asks for coin over ordinary mail, that is still the same market, or a copycat standing in the same doorway. Do not answer. Do not help them invent an email the pop-up never had.

A real public decryptor, when one exists, shows up on an official project page that already existed before your incident. It does not need a $1000 send. It does not need you to restore @daibang@.exe from quarantine. If the pitch is “we can decrypt, pay us first,” you are still in the market the ransomware created. Until a trusted project publishes a tool for this strain, treat any site that says “we already have the EagleLocker key” as a second sales pitch.

9. Payment closes nothing

Paying a stranger for a private key is not a guarantee. The people who show the pop-up can take the money and disappear. They can send a string that only makes the decryptor show an error. They can come back later and lock the same machine again. A Bitcoin send to 1JigsawqXeMKhGtoDqASgPDbH8g36EuP3A makes that outcome easier, not harder. You cannot leave a review on a joke button.

Clicking I made a payment, now give me back my files! is the free version of the same dead end. Running @daibang@.exe because the wallpaper shouted Ooops is the same dead end in executable form. There is no public free decryptor known for this strain. Starting the locker UI again does not rebuild a JPEG. It only keeps you in their story while the rest of the disk still needs a real plan.

If this is a company machine, tell counsel and your incident lead. If this is a home PC, tell the people whose files lived on it. Change passwords from a clean device. Watch bank and email alerts. Sending $1000 is not useful work. Inventing an inbox is not useful work. Solving a mice-and-rabbit challenge is not useful work. It is the checkout, even when the copy is trying to sound like a prank.

What To Do If You Have Fallen Victim

Do not pay the $1000 in Bitcoin. Do not send anything to 1JigsawqXeMKhGtoDqASgPDbH8g36EuP3A. Do not click I made a payment, now give me back my files! Do not run @daibang@.exe because the wallpaper told you to. Do not restore that file from quarantine and launch it. Do not invent an email contact. Do not try to pay 5 mice, 1 fat rabbit, or “solve the challenge.” If you already clicked the button or already sent coin before you found this page, stop there. Do not send a second $1000 because the first click did nothing.

STEP 1: Use Rkill to terminate suspicious programs.

In this first step, we will download and run Rkill to terminate suspicious programs that may be running on your computer.

RKill is a program that was developed at BleepingComputer.com that attempts to terminate known malware processes so that your normal security software can then run and clean your computer of infections. When RKill runs it will kill malware processes and then removes incorrect executable associations and fixes policies that stop us from using certain tools.

  1. Download Rkill.

    You can download RKill to your computer from the below link. When at the download page, click on the Download Now button labeled iExplore.exe. We are downloading a renamed version of Rkill (iExplore.exe) because some malware will not allow processes to run unless they have a certain filename.

    RKILL DOWNLOAD LINK

    (The above link will open a new page from where you can download Rkill)
  2. Run RKill.

    After downloading, double-click the iExplore.exe icon to kill malicious processes. In most cases, downloaded files are saved to the Downloads folder.
    The program may take some time to search for and end various malware programs.

    RKILL Window

    When it is finished, the black window will close automatically and a log file will open. Do not restart your computer. Proceed to the next step in this guide.

STEP 2: Use Malwarebytes to remove Ransomware and Unwanted Programs

In this second step, we will install Malwarebytes to scan and remove any infections, adware, or potentially unwanted programs that may be present on your computer.

Malwarebytes is one of the most popular and trusted anti-malware tools for Windows — and it’s completely free for removing infections. It catches threats that many antivirus programs miss, including adware, browser hijackers, and trojans. Follow the steps below to scan and clean your PC in just a few minutes.

  1. Download Malwarebytes

    MBAM10
  6. Wait for the Scan to Finish

    The scan checks your entire system for browser hijackers and other malicious programs, so it can take several minutes. Feel free to do something else — just check back occasionally to see the progress.

    MBAM11
  7. Quarantine the Detected Threats

    When the scan is done, you’ll see a list of everything Malwarebytes found — malware, adware, and potentially unwanted programs. Click the “Quarantine” button to remove all of them at once.

    MBAM12

    Malwarebytes will now remove the malicious files and registry entries and move them safely into quarantine.

    MBAM13

    Some threats can only be fully removed after a reboot. If Malwarebytes asks you to restart, click Yes. Once you’re logged back in, your PC is clean and you can continue with the next steps in this guide.

    MBAM14

STEP 3: Use HitmanPro to remove Rootkits and other Malware

In this third step, while the computer is in normal back, we will download and run a scan with HitmanPro to remove Trojans, rootkits, and other malicious programs.

HitmanPro is a second-opinion scanner — it’s designed to catch what your main antivirus might have missed. Instead of relying on a single detection engine, it checks the behavior of files in the locations where malware usually hides. Anything suspicious gets sent to the cloud, where it’s analyzed by two of the best antivirus engines available: Bitdefender and Kaspersky.

Good news: scanning is completely free, with no limits. You only need a license when it’s time to remove what was found — and even then, you can activate a free one-time 30-day trial to clean your PC at no cost. (A full license is $24.95 per year for 1 PC.)

  1. Download HitmanPro

    Click the button below to download HitmanPro. Remember — the scan is free, so you have nothing to lose by checking your PC.

    DOWNLOAD HITMANPRO (FREE SCAN)
    (The link opens in a new page where your download will start)
  2. Install HitmanPro

    When the download finishes, open your Downloads folder and double-click the file: “hitmanpro.exe” on 32-bit Windows, or “hitmanpro_x64.exe” on 64-bit Windows.

    Double-click on the HitmanPro file

    If a User Account Control pop-up asks whether HitmanPro can make changes to your device, click “Yes” to continue.

    When the removal is complete, HitmanPro will show a summary of everything it cleaned. Click Next, then click Reboot if prompted. If there’s no reboot prompt, just click Close — your PC is clean.

STEP 4: Use AdwCleaner to remove Malicious Browser Extensions and Adware

In this next step, we will use AdwCleaner to remove malicious browser policies and unwanted browser extensions from your computer.

AdwCleaner is a free on-demand scanner that specializes in adware, browser hijackers, and unwanted toolbars — the exact threats that mainstream antivirus programs often miss. It also includes tools that repair the damage malware leaves behind, like hijacked browser settings and malicious policies. It’s a quick scan that’s well worth running.

  1. Download AdwCleaner

    Click the button below to download AdwCleaner — it’s free, portable, and requires no installation.

    DOWNLOAD ADWCLEANER (FREE)

    (The link opens in a new page where your download will start)
  2. Run AdwCleaner

    Open your Downloads folder and double-click the file named “adwcleaner_x.x.x.exe“. There’s no installation — the program starts right away.
    Download AdwCleaner on your computer

    If Windows asks whether you want to allow AdwCleaner to run, click “Yes“. When the license agreement appears, click I agree to continue.

    Windows ask if you want to run AdwCleaner

  3. Enable “Reset Chrome policies”

    This setting removes malicious browser policies — a trick malware uses to lock your browser settings so you can’t change them back. Click “Settings” on the left side of the window, then turn on “Reset Chrome policies“.

    Enable Reset Chrome policies to remove malicious browser policies

  4. Start the Scan

    Click “Dashboard” on the left side of the window, then click the “Scan” button.

    Click on Scan to start a AdwCleaner scan

    Click on Quarantine to remove malware

  7. Click “Continue” to Finish the Cleanup

    Save any open work first — AdwCleaner needs to close your open programs before it can clean. When you’re ready, click the “Continue” button.
    Click Continue to remove malicious files

    AdwCleaner will now delete all detected malware from your computer. If it asks you to restart your PC, allow it — your computer will be clean when you log back in.

STEP 5: Perform a final check with ESET Online Scanner

This final step involves installing and running a scan with ESET Online Scanner to check for any additional malicious programs that may be installed on the computer..

ESET Online Scanner is a free second-opinion scanner that performs a deep, full-system check for viruses, trojans, rootkits, and other malware. We use it as the final step because it’s thorough — if anything slipped past the previous scans, ESET will find it. A clean result here means your computer is malware-free.

  1. Download ESET Online Scanner

    If ESET found nothing — congratulations, your computer has passed the final check and is malware-free.

STEP 6: Restore the files encrypted by ransomware

Unfortunately, in most cases, it’s not possible to recover the files encrypted by this ransomware virus because the private key which is needed to unlock the encrypted files is only available through the attackers. However, below we’ve listed three options you can use to try and recover your files.

Make sure you remove the malware from your computer first, otherwise, it will repeatedly lock your system or encrypt files. If you suspect that your computer is still infected with malware, you can run a free scan with Emsisoft Emergency Kit.

Option 1: Search a decryption tool for this ransomware

The cybersecurity community is constantly working to create ransomware decryption tools, so you can try to search these sites for updates:

Option 2: Use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free to recover the encrypted files

EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free can restore files and repair corrupted files with simple clicks. Its powerful scanning algorithms can identify and retrieve huge file type library, including all of the popular video files, audio files, photos, and document formats.
While the free version only allows you to recover 2 GB of data, this can be helpful to see if the recovery is possible and restore back the most important files from your computer.

  1. Download EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free.

    You can download EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free by clicking the link below.

    EASEUS DATA RECOVERY WIZARD FREE DOWNLOAD LINK

    Select a location to start recovering the encrypted files

  5. Wait for the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard scan to complete.

    EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard will now scan your computer files that can be restored. This process can take a few minutes, so we suggest you do something else and periodically check on the status of the scan to see when it is finished.

  6. Find the files you want to recover.

    When the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard scan is finished scanning it will show a screen that displays the files that can be recovered. This tool can recover a lot of data, use the “Filter” button to quickly filter specific file types and find the files that you want to recover.

Option 3: Try to restore your files with ShadowExplorer

This ransomware will attempt to delete all shadow copies when you first start any executable on your computer after becoming infected. Thankfully, the infection is not always able to remove the shadow copies, so you should continue to try restoring your files using this method.

  1. Download ShadowExplorer.

    You can download ShadowExplorer from the below link.

    SHADOW EXPLORER DOWNLOAD LINK
    (This link will open a new web page from where you can download “ShadowExplorer”)
  2. Install ShadowExplorer.

    Double-click on the ShadowExplorer-x.x-setup file to start the installation process, then follow the on-screen promts to install this program.
    Install Shadow Defender

  3. Select snapshot date.

    Open ShadowExplorer and then from the top bar select the drive where the files that you want to save are located, then select from the snapshot available one previous to this infection.

    Select drive and date to recover the files encrypted by this ransomware

  4. Export the files that you want to recover.

    Once you have found a copy of the original file or folder, right-click on it and the select “Export”. A window will prompt you where you want to save the file or folder.
    Find copy then click on Expor to recover the files encrypted by this ransomware

Keep every .daibang name exactly as it is. Keep at least one locked sample, including a documented name such as 1.jpg.daibang or 2.png.daibang. Do not bulk-rename 1.jpg.daibang back to 1.jpg, or 2.png.daibang back to 2.png, or 3.exe.daibang back to a normal program, or vacation.jpg.daibang back to a normal JPEG, or invoice-2026.pdf.daibang back to a normal PDF. Stripping the extra ending is not a repair. It can make a later trusted tool worse, not better. The original name is already sitting in front of .daibang. You do not need to edit it to know what you lost.

Keep a screenshot of the pop-up and the wallpaper. Those two screens are how you prove this was EagleLocker and not a different locker that only sounds similar. Copy the title === EagleLocker v1.0 ===, the mice line, the $1000 Bitcoin ask, the wallet 1JigsawqXeMKhGtoDqASgPDbH8g36EuP3A, the __EagleBoiz_ sign-off, the Ooops wallpaper, and the @daibang@.exe instruction. Those artifacts are evidence. They are not instructions you should carry out.

This is an amateur joke locker in the Jigsaw and HiddenTear family. Jigsaw clones often leave a decryptor on disk. That local binary is usually the “daibang Decryptor” window the wallpaper wants you to run. Leave @daibang@.exe where it is as an artifact if a responder needs it. Do not execute it as a rescue. Do not pull it out of quarantine because a ransom wallpaper said the photos depend on it.

Do not pay the $1000 BTC. The mice and fat rabbit line is the tell, not a discount and not a puzzle with a prize. If someone later quotes that joke and offers “the real inbox EagleLocker forgot,” that is a new shop, not a repair of the old one. If they mention .daibang as proof they already have your case, they read the same folder you did. Do not answer. Do not complete their checkout. Do not help them invent a contact the pop-up never printed.

If Windows still offers to pick an app for the .daibang type, decline it. There is no player for that ending.

The Bottom Line

EagleLocker ransomware is a locker with a readable filename, a joke pop-up, a wallpaper that points at a local decryptor, and a $1000 Bitcoin checkout. It keeps the old name and appends .daibang. 1.jpg becomes 1.jpg.daibang. 2.png becomes 2.png.daibang. The demand is a window titled === EagleLocker v1.0 ===, not a text file. It says the files are under eagle protection, tells you to stay calm, tells you to pay 5 mice, 1 fat rabbit, then asks for 1000$ in Bitcoin to 1JigsawqXeMKhGtoDqASgPDbH8g36EuP3A. It prints no email. The wallpaper says Ooops, your important files are encrypted and tells you to run @daibang@.exe. Engines place it with Jigsaw and HiddenTear, including MSIL/Filecoder.Jigsaw.B and Ransom:MSIL/HiddenTear.B. Amateur joke locker. Local decryptor binary often on disk. There is no public free decryptor known for this strain.

Do not pay the $1000 BTC. Do not click the payment button. Do not run @daibang@.exe because a wallpaper shouted Ooops. Do not invent an email. Do not rename the pile in bulk. Keep a .daibang sample and a screenshot of the pop-up. If you take one sentence with you, take this. A folder of names ending in .daibang, plus an EagleLocker v1.0 window that jokes about mice and a fat rabbit and then asks for $1000 in Bitcoin, is ransomware on the first sighting. Treat it that way before anyone offers to finish the joke.

10 Rules to Avoid Online Scams

Here are 10 practical safety rules to help you avoid malware, online shopping scams, crypto scams, and other online fraud. Each tip includes a quick “if you already got hit” action.

  1. Stop and verify before you click, log in, download, or pay.

    warning sign

    Most scams win by creating urgency. Verify using a trusted method: type the website address yourself, use the official app, or call a known number (not the one in the message).

    If you already clicked: close the page, do not enter passwords, and run a malware scan.

  2. Keep your operating system, browser, and apps updated.

    updates guide

    Updates patch security holes used by malware and malicious ads. Turn on automatic updates where possible.

    If you saw a scary “update now” pop-up: close it and update only through your device settings or the official app store.

  3. Use layered protection: antivirus plus an ad blocker.

    shield guide

    Antivirus helps block malware. An ad blocker reduces scam redirects, phishing pages, and malvertising.

    If your browser is acting weird: remove unknown extensions, reset the browser, then run a full scan.

  4. Install apps, software, and extensions only from official sources.

    install guide

    Avoid cracked software, “keygens,” and random downloads. During installs, choose Custom/Advanced and decline bundled offers you do not recognize.

    If you already installed something suspicious: uninstall it, restart, and scan again.

  5. Treat links and attachments as untrusted by default.

    cursor sign

    Phishing often impersonates delivery services, banks, and popular brands. If it is unexpected, do not open attachments or log in through the message.

    If you entered credentials: change the password immediately and enable 2FA.

  6. Shop safely: research the store, then pay with protection.

    trojan horse

    Be cautious with brand-new stores, “closing sale” stories, and prices that make no sense. Prefer credit cards or PayPal for dispute options. Avoid wire transfers, gift cards, and crypto payments.

    If you already paid: contact your card issuer or PayPal quickly to dispute the transaction.

  7. Crypto rule: never pay a “fee” to withdraw or recover money.

    lock sign

    Common patterns include fake profits, then “tax,” “gas,” or “verification” fees. Another is a “recovery agent” who demands upfront crypto.

    If you already sent crypto: stop paying, save evidence (wallet addresses, TXIDs, chats), and report the scam to the platform used.

  8. Secure your accounts with unique passwords and 2FA (start with email).

    lock sign

    Use a password manager and unique passwords for every account. Enable 2FA using an authenticator app when possible.

    If you suspect an account takeover: change passwords, sign out of all devices, and review recent logins and recovery settings.

  9. Back up important files and keep one backup offline.

    backup sign

    Backups protect you from ransomware and device failure. Keep at least one backup on an external drive that is not always connected.

    If you suspect infection: do not connect backup drives until the system is clean.

  10. If you think you are a victim: stop losses, document evidence, and escalate fast.

    warning sign

    Move quickly. Speed matters for disputes, account recovery, and limiting damage.

    • Stop payments and contact: do not send more money or respond to the scammer.
    • Call your bank or card issuer: block transactions, replace the card if needed, and start a dispute or chargeback.
    • Secure your email first: change the email password, enable 2FA, and remove unfamiliar recovery options.
    • Secure other accounts: change passwords, enable 2FA, and log out of all sessions.
    • Scan your device: remove suspicious apps or extensions, then run a full malware scan.
    • Save evidence: screenshots, emails, order pages, tracking pages, wallet addresses, TXIDs, and chat logs.
    • Report it: to the payment provider, marketplace, social platform, exchange, or wallet service involved.

These rules are intentionally simple. Most online losses happen when decisions are rushed. Slow down, verify independently, and use payment methods and account controls that give you recourse.
