HELP! COVM RANSOMWARE ATTACK ON MY COMPUTER!

tga1992 · May 26, 2020

My computer was infected with COVM ransomware.
I ran MalwareBytes and AVG scans to ensure the virus was out of the system.

I need help in decryption of all my files that now end in the .covm extension.

Please help I have valuable data on the computer!

Try Emsisoft: Free Ransomware Decryption Tools

Corrine · May 26, 2020

Although Emsisoft has a decryption tool that may indeed be able to decrypt your files, it is best to ensure that the the system is otherwise clean before proceeding to that step. I suggest that you begin by providing the logs requested at Malware Removal Posting Instructions.

Did you submit (upload) samples of encrypted files, ransom notes and any contact email addresses or hyperlinks provided by the cyber-criminals to ID Ransomware (IDR) ..?

icotonev · May 30, 2020

... and it is really advisable to follow the steps from Malware Removal Posting Instructions , as Corrine recommended above..!

My files are still encrypted

tga1992 · Jun 10, 2020

Please someone help decrypt my files

I am in deep trouble

plodr · Jun 10, 2020

There isn't anything that we can do.

As explained in the "_readme.txt" ransom note, victims can encrypt their files with a decryption tool and unique key that can be purchased either for $980 or $490. Their price depends on how fast victims contact Covm's developers which can be done by writing an email to helpmanager@mail.ch or restoremanager@firemail.cc address. An email has to include the assigned ID. It is stated that it is impossible to decrypt data encrypted by Covm without tools that can be purchased only from its developers. Unfortunately, it is true. It is common that victims do not receive decryption tools even if they had paid for them. Therefore, cyber criminals cannot be trusted. In such cases the only way to recover files without risking to lose any money is to restore them from a created backup. It is worthwhile to mention that files that were not encrypted by installed ransomware can be protected from being encrypted later by uninstalling it. Although, files that are already encrypted remain encrypted even after its uninstallation.

Bold added by me.

If you have no backup then you have lost your files.

The Security Community needs to obtain the decrytion keys from the criminals that created the ransomware. Until that happens, it cannot be decrypted.
