How to remove AllCiphered Ransomware and decrypt .allciphered70 files

What is AllCiphered Ransomware

AllCiphered Ransomware is a malicious program that belongs to the MedusaLocker ransomware family, notorious for its ability to encrypt valuable data and demand a ransom for decryption. Upon infecting a system, it appends a distinctive file extension to each encrypted file, namely .allciphered70, effectively rendering them inaccessible without the decryption key. The specific number in the extension might vary with different variants of this ransomware. Utilizing a combination of RSA and AES cryptographic algorithms, AllCiphered employs robust encryption methods, making victims’ data extremely challenging to recover without cooperation from the attackers. Once the encryption process is complete, the ransomware creates a ransom note named How_to_back_files.html, typically located in every folder containing encrypted files. This note informs victims of the security breach, the encryption of their files, and demands a ransom for the decryption software. Additionally, it threatens to publish or sell exfiltrated confidential data if the ransom is not paid within a specified timeframe, typically escalating the ransom amount after 72 hours.

Unfortunately, decryption of files encrypted by AllCiphered Ransomware, specifically those with the .allciphered70 extension, without the attackers’ decryption key, poses a significant challenge. Currently, there are no known decryption tools available that can restore files compromised by this specific ransomware due to the sophisticated nature of its encryption algorithms. Although some rare and flawed ransomware strains have had decryption solutions, AllCiphered isn’t one of them as of now. It’s recommended not to pay the ransom as there’s no guarantee that cybercriminals will provide the required decryption tool despite payment. Instead, victims are advised to maintain backups of critical data stored in separate, secure locations, which can be fundamental in restoring files without yielding to ransom demands. Until a universal decryptor is developed or obtained through other means, victims’ primary avenue for recovering files encrypted by AllCiphered remains restoring from a secure backup created before the attack.

How AllCiphered Ransomware infects computers

AllCiphered Ransomware infiltrates computers primarily through phishing and social engineering tactics. Cybercriminals often disguise the malware as legitimate or innocuous-looking attachments and links in emails, making it easy for unsuspecting users to download and execute the ransomware. Additionally, it is frequently bundled with seemingly harmless software downloaded from unreliable sources like third-party sites and peer-to-peer networks. Drive-by downloads, where the ransomware is automatically downloaded and executed upon visiting a compromised or malicious website, also play a role in its distribution. Once on a system, AllCiphered Ransomware can use vulnerabilities and exploits in outdated software to spread further within local networks, increasing the potential damage. Users are advised to maintain updated security software and exercise caution with unsolicited emails and downloads to mitigate the risk of such infections.

How to protect computer from viruses, like AllCiphered Ransomware, in future

1. Get special anti-ransomware software

Use ZoneAlarm Anti-Ransomware

Famous antivirus brand ZoneAlarm by Check Point released a comprehensive tool, that will help you with active anti-ransomware protection, as an additional shield to your current protection. The tool provides Zero-Day protection against ransomware and allows you to recover files. ZoneAlarm Anti-Ransomware is compatible with all other antiviruses, firewalls, and security software except ZoneAlarm Extreme (already shipped with ZoneAlarm Anti-Ransomware) or Check Point Endpoint products. The killer features of this application are: automatic file recovery, overwrite protection that instantly and automatically recovers any encrypted files, file protection that detects and blocks even unknown encryptors.

2. Back up your files

As an additional way to save your files, we recommend online backup. Local storage, such as hard drives, SSDs, flash drives, or remote network storage can be instantly infected by the virus once plugged in or connected to. AllCiphered Ransomware uses some techniques to exploit this. One of the best services and programs for easy automatic online backup is iDrive. It has the most profitable terms and a simple interface. You can read more about iDrive cloud backup and storage here.

3. Do not open spam e-mails and protect your mailbox

Malicious attachments to spam or phishing e-mails are the most popular method of ransomware distribution. Using spam filters and creating anti-spam rules is good practice. One of the world leaders in anti-spam protection is MailWasher Pro. It works with various desktop applications and provides a very high level of anti-spam protection.
