Any files that are encrypted with
Dharma Ransomware will have an .[<email>]
.dharma, .[<email>]
.wallet or .<email>
.zzzzz extension appended to the end of the encrypted data filename (i.e. [worm01@india.com].dharma, [bitcoin143@india.com].wallet, [amagnus@india.com].zzzzz) and leave files (ransom notes) named README.txt, README.jpg.
Unfortunately, there is
no known way at this time to decrypt files encrypted by Dharma variants without paying the ransom. Our crypto malware experts who analyze these infections suspect another cyber criminal forked the code and generated their own keys which were not part of the leaked master decryption keys for the original CrySiS variants.
There is an ongoing discussion in this topic where you can post comments, ask questions and seek further assistance. Other victims have been directed there to share information, experiences and suggestions.
When or if a solution is found, that information will be provided in the above support topic and you will receive notification if subscribed to it. In addition, a news article most likely will be posted on the
BleepingComputer front page.
Rather than have everyone with individual topics, it would be best (and more manageable for staff) if you posted any more questions, comments or requests for assistance in the above support topic discussion...it includes experiences by experts, a variety of IT consultants, end users and company reps who have been affected by ransomware infections. To avoid unnecessary confusion, this topic is closed.
Thanks
The BC Staff
