There’s a new player in the ransomware field, and it bears the astonishing name Dr. Fucker. Yes, Dr. Fucker. As astounding as the name is, the infection itself is pretty typical. It follows the standard programming. Invade. Corrupt. Extort. The people behind the infection have designed it with a single purpose. To make money. It targets your files in the hopes that you’ll pay to get them back. The tool, and the people behind it, don’t care about you or your data. They care about monetary gain. And, bear in mind what kind of people they are. Individuals, who unleashed a dangerous tool onto the web. Who’ve designed it to lock user’s data, and demand a ransom. These are malicious extortionists. Regardless of what they promise you, can you trust them? Do you honestly believe that they’ll keep their promises? Don’t be naive! They WILL double-cross you, They will NOT keep their end of the bargain. They’re untrustworthy, so why place your faith on them? Instead of choosing to trust the wrong people, you have to make a tough choice. A tough but wise choice. Forsake your files. Do not follow the infection’s demands. If you do, you only bury yourself deeper in trouble. If you pay the ransom, you jeopardize your personal and financial details. You risk exposing your private life to extortionists with agendas. And, the pictures, music, documents, videos, and whatever else you had on your PC, isn’t worth it. It’s not worth the risk. Data is replaceable. Privacy is not. Choose privacy.

How did I get infected with?

Ransomware doesn’t just appear out of thin air on your computer one day. It cannot enter on its own accord. It has to seek permission on its install. And, has to get you to agree to let it in. Dr. Fucker is bound by the same rules. It had to seek your permission before entering your system. And, judging by your predicament, it got you to say ‘Yes.’ But don’t be too hard on yourself. Infections like it have come up with countless ways to trick you into complying. Since they cannot come straight up and ask for your compliance, they do it sneakily. After all, if they were straightforward, you could just deny them. And, they can’t have that. So, they turn to deception. They’re so masterful that you don’t realize you agreed to install a dangerous infection. That’s why ransomware tends to take you by surprise. But, technically, it did ask. And, you did agree. More often than not, via freeware, spam email attachments, or corrupted links. Such tools can also pretend to be fake updates. Like, Java or Adobe Flash Player. Remember, infections prey on distraction, naivety, and haste. So, don’t grant them. Choose caution over carelessness. That way, you increase your chances of keeping tools like Dr. Fucker out of your PC.

Why is Dr. Fucker dangerous?

Experts, in the field of cyber security, perceive Dr. Fucker as a variant of the SamSam ransomware. The two infections are not identical. But they’re pretty similar. After infiltration, the tool’s programming kicks in. It locks every single file you keep on your PC using the RSA-2048 cipher. All your pictures, videos, documents, music, etc., gets encrypted, you receive a ransom note. The tool displays it on your Desktop, and leaves a TXT, as well. You can find it on your Desktop, and in every folder that contains encrypted files. You’ll also get a HTML webpage icon, named PLEASE_READ_FOR_DECRYPT_FILES_.html. The ransom note is simple. It explains your predicament, and lays out instructions. It states that to free your files, you have to pay up. And, as incentive, it also threatens to delete your unique decryption key after 48 hours. So, with the time limit, you face a choice. Pay and hope for the best, or say goodbye to your data. As for the ransom amount, it varies. It depends on the number of compromised hosts, and can reach up to the outrageous 27 Bitcoin! In case, you’re unfamiliar, a single Bitcoin equals about 600 US Dollars. You do the math. The price for the decryption key tends to start at 1.7 Bitcoin, which is also no small fee. But, as was already mentioned, even if you have the money and can afford to pay, don’t. You cannot afford to allow the extortionist access to your personal and financial details. And, if you pay the ransom, you do just that. So, just don’t. You’re better off burning the money than sending it to these people. Let’s look at the possible outcomes, following payment, shall we? And, we’ll even ignore the fact that you grant access to your privacy to strangers. Say, you transfer the money. Then what happens? If you believe what’s promised, you’ll get a decryption key. But what if the kidnappers choose not to send you one? They can do that, you know? They can just not send you anything. Or, they can send you one that doesn’t work. You have zero guarantees that payment equals file decryption. And, what’s your best-case scenario? You get the proper decryption key, and it works. You release your files of Dr. Fucker’s clutches. But, then what? The key only gets rid of the encryption itself. It does NOT remove the encryptor. So, the ransomware tool is still somewhere on your computer. It can still strike at any given moment, and take you back to square one. What’s stopping it from encrypting your data again, an hour after decryption? Nothing. The answer is nothing. Do NOT trust ransomware infections. And, certainly, not one named Dr. Fucker! Be smart and make the wiser choice. Choose to keep your personal and financial information out of the hands of extortionists. It’s the right thing to do.
