JYPO Virus (.jypo File) Ransomware — Remove & Decrypt Files

If you cannot open your images, documents, or other files and see the .jypo extension on them, your computer is definitely infected with Jypo ransomware. It belongs to STOP/Djvu ransomware group

Jypo ransomware ciphers personal files spotted on the victim’s computer with the extension “.jypo” and after that creates the ransom note in each folder which contains encrypted files. The instructions are placed on the victim’s PC in the “readme.txt” file. Its task is basically comparable to other examples of the same ransomware family: Jyos, Typo, Tyos.

What is Jypo Ransomware?

Jypo is file-encrypting ransomware that prevents normal access to your text files, Excel tables, videos and images by ciphering them. It marks the encrypted files with the “.jypo” extension. Then Jypo ransomware adds a ransom note (readme.txt) to each folder. In it, you can see the instructions to pay the ransom ($490-$980 in Bitcoin) to a specified BTC wallet. The AES-256 or RSA-1028 cipher it utilizes to encrypt the documents is not decryptable with contemporary computers. Even quantum PCs that already exist will likely spend hundreds of years to find the decryption key.

How dangerous is the Jypo ransomware?

When Jypo ransomware gets on your PC, it will scan your disks for images, videos, and also important documents. It [ciphers all widespread file formats- .psd, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .pdf, .jpeg, .png, et cetera. When these documents are found, the ransomware will encrypt them and also change their extension to “.jypo” to make sure that you understand what happened.

After the Jypo ransomware ciphered the data on your PC, it will drop the last “readme.txt” file on the desktop. Besides the ransom transactioning instructions, the victims also see the email addresses to contact the cybercriminals – datarestorehelp@airmail.cc and support@fishmail.top.

How did the Jypo ransomware get on my computer?

The Jypo ransomware spreads by placing links to get hacked programs or games. Cybercriminals that distribute this ransomware are quite foxy, and aim to correspond with the latest things. New games releases, new popular movies – Jypo developers make whatever to get their money on that. One of the most common strategies these criminals apply is one-day sites with torrent downloading links. However, following the current news is not the single tactic these criminals utilize. Ways that have already turned into standard, such as e-mail spamming, are also common for STOP/Djvu ransomware spreading.

The example of email spamming that may lead to Jypo ransomware injection

Preventing this ransomware does not need a lot of initiative. Considering the standard rules of PC hygiene will significantly reduce all risks. Remember that launching all files you receive on e-mail is not a great option. Even worse situation is to allow macros in Microsoft Office files. However, it is better to prevent the malware intrusion at the moment when you have only opened the email message. Examining the sender’s address can point out a lot about what you can anticipate, as well as when you see the thing like “support@amazon.com”– it is likely a legitimate e-mail. Meanwhile, stuff that tries to look like Amazon or FedEx shipping alert, however, uses the e-mail address of “amazonspurrot1363@gmail.com”– should make you get on the alarm. Above, you can see the example of such a message.

Outlaw sources of different digital things need some extra description. Violating copyright regulation surely exposes you to the possibility of being fined. Nonetheless, utilizing torrent trackers or third-party sites to download “free” programs also exposes you to a wide range of malware. No one can regulate unnamed individuals that start the torrent seeding or release the hacked program version on the site with pirated software.
