Everbe Ransomware – Methods of Distribution

Everbe ransomware might spread its infection in various ways. A payload dropper which initiates the malicious script for this ransomware is being spread around the World Wide Web, and researchers have gotten their hands on a malware sample. If that file lands on your computer system and you somehow execute it – your computer system will become infected.

In the below screenshot you can view the detection of the Everbe payload file made on the VirusTotal service:

Freeware which is found on the Web can be presented as helpful also be hiding the malicious script for the cryptovirus. Refrain from opening files right after you have downloaded them. You should first scan them with a security tool, while also checking their size and signatures for anything that seems out of the ordinary. You should read the tips for preventing ransomware located at the corresponding forum thread.

Everbe Ransomware – Closer Inspection

Everbe is a virus that encrypts your files and places an .txt file, with instructions inside it, about the infected computer system. The extortionists want you to pay a ransom fee for the alleged restoration of your files. This version of the cryptovirus seems to be different as the decryptor for the Everbe Ransomware’s original variant seems to not work with this new one.

Everbe ransomware could make entries in the Windows Registry to achieve persistence, and could launch or repress processes in a Windows environment. Such entries are typically designed in a way to launch the virus automatically with each start of the Windows operating system.

After encryption the Everbe virus shows a ransom message located inside the following file:

  • Readme if you want restore files.txt

You can see the contents of the Readme if you want restore files.txt file, from the following screenshot given here:

The ransom note states the following:

Hi !
If you want restore your files write on email – eV3rbe@rape.lol
In the subject write – id-[redacted]

Do not try to recover data, it’s wasting your time.
Every 7 days price doubles.
If within 7 days we didn’t answer you , write to our backup mail – eV3ebe@tuta.io .

The note of the Everbe ransomware virus states that your files are encrypted. You are demanded to pay money to allegedly restore your files. However, you should NOT under any circumstances pay any ransom sum. Your files may not get recovered, and nobody could give you a guarantee for that. Adding to that, giving money to cybercriminals will most likely motivate them to create more ransomware viruses or commit different criminal activities. That may even result to you getting your files encrypted once again.

Everbe Ransomware – Encryption Process

What is known for the encryption process of the Everbe ransomware is that every file that gets encrypted will become simply unusable. All encrypted files will receive the “.[eV3rbe@rape.lol].eV3rbe” extension appended to them. Some researchers argue whether the AES encryption algorithm is used for the file encryption.

The following files are known to become encrypted by this ransomware:

→.doc, .docx, .jpg, .lnk, .pdf, .xls, xlsx

The full list with the targeted extensions of files which are sought to get encrypted is currently unknown. However, if it becomes known, it will be posted here as an update to the article.

The files used most by users and which are probably encrypted are from the following categories:

  • Audio files
  • Video files
  • Document files
  • Image files
  • Backup files
  • Banking credentials, etc

The Everbe cryptovirus could be set to erase all the Shadow Volume Copies from the Windows operating system with the help of the following command:

→vssadmin.exe delete shadows /all /Quiet

In case the above-stated command is executed that will make the effects of the encryption process more efficient. That is due to the fact that the command eliminates one of the prominent ways to restore your data. If a computer device was infected with this ransomware and your files are locked, read on through to find out how you could potentially restore some files back to their normal state.

If your computer system got infected with the Everbe ransomware virus, you should have a bit of experience in removing malware. You should get rid of this ransomware as quickly as possible before it can have the chance to spread further and infect other computers. You should remove the ransomware and follow the step-by-step instructions guide provided below.
