Planetary Ransomware

The Planetary Ransomware is a relatively small ransomware family when compared to the big names in the field such as the Crysis and Dharma Ransomware. However, it is still not to be underestimated since it has the ability to cause a lot of damage to the files of its victims swiftly. Thankfully, the original Planetary Ransomware and all of its variants are considered to be decryptable for free, and their victims should be able to restore their files without having to co-operate with the attackers.

So far, cybersecurity experts have identified the following file-lockers based on the Planetary Ransomware - Mecury Ransomware, Mercury Ransomware, Neptune Ransomware, Pluto Ransomware. Mira Ransomware, HC7 Planetary Ransomware, ‘.yum File Extension’ Ransomware and the HC6 Planetary Ransomware.

The Planetary Ransomware’s operators may employ different tactics to get their victims to download and launch the infected file – fake emails, fake downloads, pirated software and media, etc. Getting the Planetary Ransomware on your computer is guaranteed to cause trouble due to this threat’s ability to encrypt the contents of numerous file formats swiftly. After the Planetary Ransomware’s attack is complete, it may drop the ransom message ‘!!!READ_IT!!!.tx,’ which tells the victim to contact getmydata@india.com or mydataback@aol.com for further data recovery instructions.

The authors of the Planetary Ransomware will not decrypt your files for free so that there is no point in contacting them.

Just make sure to begin the healing process by using a trustworthy anti-malware software suite to dispose of the Planetary Ransomware’s files, and then run the ‘Planetary Decryptor.’
