Mobef Ransomware Data Recovery

What is Mobef Ransomware?

Mobef is a type of malware that encrypts your files and demands a ransom in exchange for the decryption key. This particular strain of ransomware was first discovered in May 2019. Mobef is unique in that it uses both the AES and RSA encryption algorithms to encrypt your files. This makes it very difficult to decrypt your files without the decryption key.

Mobef typically targets businesses and organizations rather than individual users. This ransomware is typically spread via email attachments or through malicious websites. Once it has infected your system, it will scan your hard drive for specific file types to encrypt. After it has encrypted your files, it will display a ransom note demanding payment in Bitcoin to decrypt your files. The amount of the ransom varies but is typically around 1-2 Bitcoins.

What types of files does Mobef Ransomware encrypt?

It primarily targets Microsoft Office documents, PDFs, images, and videos. However, it can also encrypt other types of files such as databases and backups.

Protection

There are several things you can do to protect yourself from Mobef Ransomware:

– Use a reputable antivirus program and keep it up to date

– Be cautious when opening email attachments, even if they appear to be from a trusted sender

– Do not click on links in emails or instant messages from people you don’t know

– Avoid visiting websites that are known to be malicious

– Keep your operating system and software up to date

– Use a firewall

– Use strong passwords

– Regularly back up your files to an external hard drive or cloud storage service

What should you do?

If you have been infected with Mobef Ransomware, the first thing you should do is disconnect from the internet to prevent the malware from encrypting any more files. Then, you will need to scan your system with a reputable antivirus program to remove the malware. After that, you can restore your files from a backup if you have one. If you don’t have a backup, you can try using a file recovery program to recover your files. We recommend using SalvageData data recovery software.
