How to remove Anonymous Arabs Ransomware and decrypt .encrypt files

What is Anonymous Arabs Ransomware

Anonymous Arabs Ransomware is a malicious program designed to encrypt files on the infected system, rendering them inaccessible to the user. It appends the .encrypt extension to the names of encrypted files, which signifies that the original file is now compromised and cannot be opened without a decryption key. This ransomware employs strong encryption algorithms, which adds a layer of complexity for anyone attempting to decrypt the files without paying the ransom. After the encryption process is completed, a ransom note named read_mt.txt is created and placed in various directories of the infected system, typically where the encrypted files are located. The ransom note contains instructions for the victim on how to pay the ransom, usually in cryptocurrency, in exchange for the decryption key.

Currently, there are no publicly available decryption tools that can effectively decrypt files encrypted by Anonymous Arabs Ransomware. The robust encryption method used by this ransomware makes it particularly difficult to crack without obtaining the decryption key from the attackers. However, it is generally advised not to pay the ransom as it encourages further criminal activities and does not guarantee that the files will actually be decrypted. The best course of action involves restoring the files from a backup, if available. Victims are also encouraged to report the incident to local cybersecurity authorities and seek professional assistance. In circumstances where no backup is available, but the encrypted files are critically important, consultation with cybersecurity experts or the use of professional ransomware response services may provide potential pathways for recovery.

How Anonymous Arabs Ransomware infects computers

Anonymous Arabs Ransomware typically infiltrates computers through deceptive tactics such as phishing emails, malicious attachments, and compromised websites. These phishing emails often masquerade as legitimate messages, tricking users into clicking on links or downloading attachments that contain the ransomware payload. Once the malicious file is executed, the ransomware exploits vulnerabilities in the system to gain control. It then proceeds to encrypt the user’s data, rendering files inaccessible and demanding a ransom for their decryption. Additionally, the ransomware may spread through network shares and removable drives, further amplifying its reach and impact on the infected network.
