First Seen: August 23, 2016
OS(es) Affected: Windows


The 'Radxlove7@india.com' Ransomware is a Trojan that encrypts and renames your files with the expectation that you'll pay a ransom for their safe return. Besides hoping that PC security researchers can provide free decryptors, you can protect your PC by keeping backups in other locations, and use strong passwords for blocking the 'Radxlove7@india.com' Ransomware's estimated infection vectors. Although malware experts do recommend deleting the 'Radxlove7@india.com' Ransomware through professional anti-malware products, data recovery requires extraneous solutions or software.

Feeling the Love of a Trojan's Offspring

The Crysis Ransomware family is responsible for an extensive series of campaigns attempting to hold digital data hostage in exchange for bartering over ransom fees through e-mail messages. Many, subtle variations of this originator threat lead to the possibility of third-party con artists renting the software in the form of a 'ransomware kit,' which allows them to engage in threat-based attacks without having any coding expertise. Even well into 2016, malware experts still are seeing new derivatives, including the 'Radxlove7@india.com' Ransomware.

The 'Radxlove7@india.com' Ransomware shares an extension in common with a strain of the Troldesh Ransomware most prolific in spring of 2015 up to the middle of 2016, along with variants of the Crysis Ransomware. However, the dominant feature of its payload focuses on encrypting your PC's data, including compressed archives, documents, music, movies and pictures. The 'Radxlove7@india.com' Ransomware inserts an extra extension ('.xtbl') into the name of each file, but unlike Trojans based on the Troldesh Ransomware, does not generate randomized characters.

An infection also may display other symptoms primarily associated with communicating with ransom demands. Malware analysts suggest looking for attacks including:

  • The 'Radxlove7@india.com' Ransomware may deposit text messages onto your PC relaying its ransom demands for your files.
  • The 'Radxlove7@india.com' Ransomware may modify or lock your wallpaper, which may include additional instructions or threatening images (such as pictures of the hacker group Anonymous).

Canceling a File-Ransoming Love-In

The 'Radxlove7@india.com' Ransomware campaign is rooted in distribution methods that require crucial networking security errors for exploitation currently, such as weak passwords or mishandled Remote Desktop Protocol (or RDP) settings. Being careful when using RDP products like TeamViewer can deny con artists an easy means of installing threatening software, or taking direct control of your computer. Malware experts rate French businesses with active Web servers as being at the highest risk currently, although relatives of this Trojan group often seek other targets.

Because free data decryptors are not always available, malware researchers recommend universal solutions to similar attacks comparatively, which include making backups that you save to a secure server or hard drive. Paying the con artists in this campaign provides no legal protection against their failing to return a working decryption program. Note that the 'Radxlove7@india.com' Ransomware only targets certain data formats, and does not damage the underlying operating system of your PC.

Always delete the 'Radxlove7@india.com' Ransomware with assistance from anti-malware products that can scan your Registry and other, equally sensitive components of your PC. Nonetheless, any PC owner practicing good security behavior never should need to scan for this Trojan at all.
