How to remove Cebrc Ransomware and decrypt .cebrc files

What is Cebrc Ransomware

Cebrc Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to encrypt files on an infected computer, making them inaccessible to the user. The primary objective of this ransomware is to extort money from victims by demanding a ransom in exchange for the decryption key needed to restore access to the encrypted files. Cebrc ransomware is part of a broader category of malware known as crypto-ransomware, which specifically targets and encrypts valuable data. Once Cebrc ransomware infects a system, it encrypts the victim’s files and appends the .cebrc extension to the encrypted files. This alteration makes it immediately apparent to the victim that their files have been compromised. The ransomware employs strong encryption algorithms to lock the victim’s files. While the specific encryption algorithm used by Cebrc ransomware is not always disclosed, most modern ransomware variants use a combination of symmetric (AES) and asymmetric (RSA) encryption. This dual approach ensures that the files are securely encrypted and that the decryption key is stored on a remote server controlled by the attackers, making it difficult for victims to decrypt the files without paying the ransom. After encrypting the files, Cebrc ransomware generates a ransom note (read_it.txt) to inform the victim of the attack and provide instructions on how to pay the ransom.

Decryption tools for ransomware are often developed by cybersecurity firms and researchers who analyze the ransomware’s encryption methods and find vulnerabilities or flaws that can be exploited to decrypt the files without paying the ransom. For Cebrc ransomware, there are several resources available that may help victims decrypt their files. Victims should check the No More Ransom project website for available decryptors. Kaspersky also offers a range of decryption tools for different ransomware variants, and victims can check if a decryptor for Cebrc ransomware is available on their website.

If a decryption tool is available for Cebrc ransomware, the following steps can be taken to decrypt the files. Before attempting to decrypt the files, it is crucial to remove the ransomware from the system to prevent further encryption. This can be done using reputable antivirus or anti-malware software. Victims should visit the No More Ransom or Kaspersky website and download the appropriate decryption tool for Cebrc ransomware. Each decryption tool comes with a how-to guide, and victims should follow the instructions provided to run the tool and decrypt the .cebrc files. If decryption is not possible, restoring files from a backup is the best alternative. It is essential to ensure that backups are stored offline or in a secure cloud environment to prevent them from being compromised by ransomware.

How Cebrc Ransomware infects computers

Cebrc ransomware can infect computers through various methods. Threat actors frequently use emails with malicious attachments or links to infect computers. They also exploit vulnerabilities in outdated software, create malicious ads, and use compromised web pages to distribute ransomware. Additionally, ransomware can be spread through P2P networks, third-party downloaders, pirated software, cracking tools, and malware like Trojans designed to inject further payloads.

How to decrypt and restore .cebrc files

Use automated decryptors

Download Kaspersky RakhniDecryptor

Use the following tool from Kaspersky called Rakhni Decryptor, that can decrypt .cebrc files. Download it here:

Download RakhniDecryptor

There is no purpose to pay the ransom because there is no guarantee you will receive the key, but you will put your bank credentials at risk.

Dr.Web Rescue Pack

Famous antivirus vendor Dr. Web provides free decryption service for the owners of its products: Dr.Web Security Space or Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite. Other users can ask for help in the decryption of .cebrc files by uploading samples to Dr. Web Ransomware Decryption Service. Analyzing files will be performed free of charge and if files are decryptable, all you need to do is purchase a 2-year license of Dr.Web Security Space worth $120 or less. Otherwise, you don’t have to pay.

If you are infected with Cebrc Ransomware and removed from your computer, you can try to decrypt your files. Antivirus vendors and individuals create free decryptors for some crypto-lockers. To attempt to decrypt them manually, you can do the following:

How to protect computer from viruses, like Cebrc 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.

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. Cebrc 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.
