Hello! Got my valuable files encrypted by ransomware with the .Devos extension. Example of 1 of my file names: MYZ-9506.pdf.id[98BE8C14-2642].[backinfo@protonmail.com].Devos
I have tried Malwarebytes antimalware free, spyhunter, Zemana AntiMalware, Emsisoft Emergency Kit but they don't find any issues. Attached you will find the 2 .txt's requested from Farbar Recovery Scan Tool + an image of the ransomware encryption details.
Your input and any help is appreciated!
Kind regards,
Jim Kambanis

I read through a number of sites. It seems my files are infected by the Phobos Ransomware Virus. I read the following:
"Unfortunately, there are no ways to decrypt files locked by this ransomware is it uses strong AES and RSA encryption methods. The process cannot be reversed without keys owned by cybercriminals, and security experts are currently powerless to obtain them. All you can do is backup the encrypted data and wait for the best.". Source
I will eagerly wait for responses from anyone but I guess I can't expect miracles... :_(
