Hello Huarhuachi,

I am Karsten and will gladly help you with any malware-related problems.

Please familiarize yourself with the following ground rules before you start.
  • Read my instructions thoroughly, carry out each step in the given order.
  • Do not make any changes to your system, or run any tools other than those I provided. Do not delete, fix, uninstall, or install anything unless I tell you to.
  • If you are unsure about anything or if you encounter any problems, please stop and inform me about it.
  • Stick with me until I tell you that your computer is clean. Absence of symptoms does not mean that your computer is free of malware.
  • Back up important files before we start.
  • Note: On weekends I might be slow to reply
-------------------------------------------------------------------

key is online id

It sounds like you have already identified the ransomware as STOP/DJVU ransomware, is this correct?
Please share the ransom note or personal ID with me to be sure.

Please let me know what kind of assistance you are seeking.
Do you want to get your files back or clean your computer? The first isn't necessary if you have backups. The latter isn't necessary if you already reinstalled your operating system which is usually the safest option.

El rasonware que me ha encriptado todos los archivos es de extensión .DEVOS

He usado el malwarebytes and EMSIsoft, ademas use el HitmanPRO.

Para recuperar los archivos he usado el desencriptador STOP/DJVU ransomware, Stellar, recuva, shadowexplored y no logro recuperar los archivos. Estoy al borde de la desesperacion porque es un fileserver.

Help me!

I do not understand Spanish. Only German and English.

It does not look like STOP ransomware. I suspect it is Dharma. I will need an encrypted file for proper identification.

Please upload an encrypted file to, e.g., https://easyupload.io
Drag and drop the file in the website.
Click on Upload.
Wait for the upload to finish.
Copy the download URL and paste it in your next reply.

Thank you. Yes, it is Phobos which is based on Dharma.
Unfortunately there is no way to decrypt or recover your files without a key. You already tried the most common recovery methods. Since Phobos encrypts the whole file, repair is also not possible.

You mentioned it is server that was hit. Phobos is commonly distributed via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Please check your RDP settings and make them secure. Use a strong password. Disable access that isn't needed.

This also means that your sever was most likely compromised by a hacker who has full access to the system. I highly recommend reformat and reinstall at this point. Criminals often leave several backdoors on systems they compromised which may be very hard to find.

Regarding your files I recommend not to pay, because Phobos threat actors have been known to take the money and leave without giving you the files back.
Make a backup of the encrypted files and wait in case a solution comes up. But I wouldn't count on it.
