The Globe Ransomware was decrypted by malware researchers in mid-2016 successfully, but for some unknown reason, its authors continue to release new variants that use different extensions and e-mail addresses while preserving the flawed encryption routine that malware experts can decipher. The latest variant of the Globe Ransomware spotted in the wild is the 'Orgasm@india.com' Ransomware, which demands a ransom fee between 1 and 3 Bitcoins, and warns users that it is impossible to recover their data unless they fulfill the attacker's demands.

The 'Orgasm@india.com' Ransomware leaves behind a ransom message that is identical to the ones used by other variants of the Globe Ransomware, and the only major difference in its content might be the payment address, as well as the contact address. The 'Orgasm@india.com' Ransomware can encrypt over 100 different types of files, and victims of this crypto-threat can discover which of their files have been damaged quickly by simply checking their file extensions. The 'Orgasm@india.com' Ransomware appends the '.Orgasm@india.com' to the filename of all locked files.

The 'Orgasm@india.com' Ransomware also offers its victims the opportunity to contact the attackers via BitMessage, a secure chat client that is often used by ransomware operators to provide their victims with an alternative way to contact them. Regardless of their claims that they will restore your files as soon as you send them the money they ask for, you can rest assured that the authors of the 'Orgasm@india.com' Ransomware should not be trusted, and paying them the ransom fee is not likely to help you to get your data back. As we already mentioned, the 'Orgasm@india.com' Ransomware can be decrypted for free, so if you are having issues with this threat, you should seek for the free Globe Ransomware decryption utility that can help you unlock all files marked with the '.Orgasm@india.com' extension immediately. Keep in mind that free decryption utilities are only used to decrypt files, and they will not be able to remove the 'Orgasm@india.com' Ransomware or prevent it from encrypting any other files. This is why it is always recommended to run a reputable anti-malware scanner before attempting any file recovery operations.
