What is One Ransomware?

One Ransomware is a computer virus that encrypts your files and puts a ransom note on your screen, demanding payment for the decryption key. This type of malware is also known as crypto-virus or crypto-malware.One is a particularly nasty form of ransomware because it not only encrypts your files but also deletes your backups. This makes it very difficult to recover your files without paying the ransom.

History

It was first discovered in 2016 by a security researcher known as Kaspersky. However, it is believed that the ransomware has been in development since at least December 2015. One is believed to be created by a Russian cybercrime group called Evil Corp.This group is also responsible for developing the Dridex banking trojan.

How does One Ransomware spread?

Attackers usually spread it through phishing emails. These emails will contain a malicious attachment that, once opened, will download and install ransomware onto your computer. It can also be spread through infected websites or by downloading pirated software or other files from the internet.

How does One Ransomware work?

One works by first infecting your computer with a malicious program. This program will then scan your hard drive for important files and encrypt them with a robust encryption algorithm. Once files are encrypted, they can no longer be opened or used. The One Ransomware program will then display a ransom note on your screen, demanding payment to decrypt your files. This ransomware typically demands payment in Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency that can be difficult to trace.

What encryption methods does One use?

One Ransomware uses two different encryption methods: AES-256 and RSA-2048. AES-256 is symmetric key encryption, which means that the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt the files. RSA-2048 is asymmetric key encryption that uses two different keys, one for encryption and one for decryption. One will first encrypt your files with AES-256 and then encrypt the AES-256 key with RSA-2048.

What types of files does One target?

One Ransomware primarily targets important personal files, such as photos, videos, documents, and spreadsheets. It will also target any backups of these files that it can find. This ransomware has been known to infect computers that are running Microsoft Windows operating system.

How much does One Ransomware cost?

One Ransomware typically demands a payment of $500 in Bitcoin. However, the price can vary depending on how quickly you contact the cybercriminals and how much money they think you can afford to pay.There have also been reports of One Ransomware demanding a higher ransom if the victim is based in the United States.

Should I pay the One Ransomware ransom?

Paying the One Ransomware ransom is not recommended. There is no guarantee that you will get your files back even if you do pay the ransom. In fact, there have been reports of victims who have paid the ransom but still did not receive a decryption key.

Protection

There are several things you can do to protect yourself from One and other ransomware viruses:-Install and maintain antivirus software: Antivirus software can detect and remove One from your computer. Be sure to keep your antivirus software up-to-date, as new variants of One Ransomware are released regularly.-Don't open email attachments from unknown senders: attackers often spread this ransomware via email attachments. If you receive an email attachment from an unknown sender, do not open it.-Back up your files regularly: One deletes your backups, so it's important to back up your files regularly. This way, if you do get infected with One Ransomware, you can restore your files from backup.-Be cautious when downloading programs from the internet: malicious programs disguised as legitimate programs often spread One. Be sure to only download programs from trusted websites.

What should I do if I'm infected with One Ransomware?
