There are a lot of web users, complaining about the “Drugvokrug727@india.com ransomware.” The dangerous infection invades your PC, and encrypts your data. When it’s done and your data is locked, it shows you a message. It explains the situation you’re in, contains a ransom request, and payment instructions. In that message, you’ll find the Drugvokrug727@india.com email address. The kidnappers provide it as a means of communication. Do NOT contact these people, using the email! It’s a colossal mistake to reach out to them! Furthermore, do NOT pay them a single cent! If you complete the transaction and pay the ransom, you’ll only worsen your predicament. You won’t just have your files encrypted. You’ll also lose money and risk strangers exploiting your private life for their agendas. Oh, yes. By paying, you open the door to your personal and financial information to these people. You give them all the power – over your data, as well as over your private life. Is that what you want? Do you think it’s wise to take such a risk? Are you prepared to gamble with your privacy? Are you okay with unknown individuals with wicked intentions having access to it? Do you think that will end well for you? Don’t be gullible. Don’t do something, which you’ll later regret. Do NOT pay them. Your files are not worth the risk. They’re not worth your privacy. Data can be replaced. Can you say the same about your private details? As hard as it may seem, forsake your files. Make the right choice.

How did I get infected with?

Ransomware turns to the old but gold methods of infiltration to slither into your system. And, it not only succeeds, but you have no idea that it did until it reveals itself. That usually happens after the encryption is complete, and you face the ransom message. The most common method of invasion is via corrupted email attachments. You click and open something that you shouldn’t have. And, pay the price for your carelessness. Remember that infections prey on carelessness. Don’t grant it! Don’t turn to naivety, distraction, and haste! They lead to nothing but troubles and headaches. Instead, rely on caution and vigilance. Be extra thorough when installing a tool or an update. Always read the terms and conditions, and do your due diligence. After all, even a little extra attention goes a long way. And, it can save you a ton of future grievances.

Why is Drugvokrug727@india.com dangerous?

Once the ransomware slithers its way in, it doesn’t waste time. It strikes shortly after infiltration, and encrypts everything. All your videos, music, pictures, documents, everything falls under its control. The nasty tool renames each of your files by adding an extension – .id-B4500913.{Drugvokrug727@india.com}.xtbl. Once it’s done, you can no longer access your data. And, moving them or changing the names won’t help. The only way to free them is to apply a decryption key. And, as you’ve probably guessed it, that will cost you. If you wish to receive the key, you have to pay a ransom. The infection claims that once you pay up, you’ll receive the key. Then you can apply it, and free your files. But how does that help you deal with your problem? Think about it. Your issue is not that your data is encrypted. That’s an effect from your actual problem. You have a ransomware program, and it’s playing ‘kidnapper’ with your data. Do NOT play that game! It’s rigged, and you just can’t win. Even in the best-case scenario, you lose. Even if you pay, receive the key, and free your files. What then? There are NO guarantees the ransomware won’t act up again an hour after the decryption. And, you’re back to square one. Only now, you have less money and your private life is exposed to strangers. So, don’t pay. Paying the ransom is a temporary solution to a lasting problem. When dealing with a ransomware, you’re backed into a corner. As was already explained, paying won’t fix anything. It only makes things worse. Don’t pay. Say goodbye to your files. It’s a difficult decision to make, but it’s the right one.
