7ev3n Ransomware
Posted: January 25, 2016
Threat Metric
The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:
Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.
Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.
Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.
Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.
% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

The 7ev3n Ransomware is a file-encrypting Trojan that scans for data falling under non-essential formats (unrelated to your operating system) and encrypts them, making them unopenable and unreadable. Although the 7ev3n Ransomware displays a ransom message demanding a Bitcoin money transferral in exchange for a decryption solution, malware experts, instead, recommend restoring it from a dependable file backup. Removing the 7ev3n Ransomware always should include using anti-malware products able to identify both the 7ev3n Ransomware and related threats that may be responsible for its presence.
The 7ev3n Ransomware and the High Ransom not Worth Paying
Although most file encryptors are structurally very similar, the demands they make to their victims can be as flexible as the avarice of their coders. The 7ev3n Ransomware shows few features notably different from those of past file encryptors like the TeslaCrypt Ransomware, but does have a single, standout feature: asking for a sum of 13 Bitcoins to restore the files the 7ev3n Ransomware encrypts. Most file encryption Trojans communicate ransom sums of anywhere from half a Bitcoin up to one or two Bitcoins, under one thousand USD in almost all cases. Comparatively, the 7ev3n Ransomware offers an incredibly expensive 'solution' at over five thousand dollars.
Besides being expensive, the 7ev3n Ransomware shows the same behaviors as other Trojans of its category. The 7ev3n Ransomware scans for files on your hard drive and isolates ones of non-essential formats that are suitable for encryption. Targeted files include images and Microsoft Office files that are likely to be equally prolific in either an office or a home environment. As is ever the case, once they're encrypted, your files can't be opened until after being run through a matching decryption process, requiring the same key that was used by the 7ev3n Ransomware. There are no known, public decryptors for the 7ev3n Ransomware.
Stopping Cyber Crookss from Turning Files to Riches
Although the 7ev3n Ransomware states that its ransom and decryption process are both automated and on a strict timer, malware analysts have been unable to verify any of these assertions. Past file encryptors often make similar claims to force their victims to make payments without hesitating, asking questions, or availing themselves of pertinent security tools. No matter how valuable your encrypted data is, keeping safe backups on removable devices and cloud services is a more affordable means of protecting it from the 7ev3n Ransomware.
Most file encryption Trojans such as the 7ev3n Ransomware lack any form of self-distribution, such as a worm's ability to copy its body to new drives. When trying to delete the 7ev3n Ransomware, you should make an effort to analyze your entire computer with anti-malware products, including Registry and default Windows folders that are favorite targets for infection. A full scan is just as likely to identify both the 7ev3n Ransomware and other threats that might have installed the 7ev3n Ransomware through mislabeled e-mail attachments, downloaded bundles and similar carriers.
