NNLL Ransomware. How to decrypt .nnll files?

If you can’t open your pics, documents, or other files and see the .nnll extension on them, your PC is surely infected with Nnll ransomware. It pertains to STOP/Djvu ransomware group

Nnll ransomware encrypts personal documents identified on the victim’s computer with the extension “.nnll” and then generates 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 pretty much comparable to other examples of the same ransomware family: Wwhu, Wwza, Wwty.

What is Nnll Ransomware?

Nnll is file-encrypting ransomware that prevents normal access to your text files, Excel tables, videos and pictures by ciphering them. It marks the ciphered files with the “.nnll” extension. Then Nnll ransomware adds a money ransom note (readme.txt) to each folder. In it, you can see the instructions to pay the ransom ($490-$980 in Bitcoin) to a certain Bitcoin wallet. The AES-256 or RSA-1028 cipher it uses to cipher the files is not decryptable with contemporary computers. Even quantum computers that currently exist will spend thousands of years to get the decryption key.

How dangerous is the Nnll ransomware?

When Nnll ransomware gets on your computer, it will run through your disks for photos, videos, and important documents. It [ciphers all widespread file formats- .psd, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .pdf, .jpeg, .png, et cetera. When these documents are located, the ransomware will encrypt them and change their extension to “.nnll” so that you understand what happened.

After the Nnll ransomware ciphered the files on your PC, it will generate the last “readme.txt” file on the main screen.

How did the Nnll ransomware get on my computer?

The Nnll ransomware spreads by placing websites to download hacked programs or games. They try to keep their eye on all hype topics which can be used to spread ransomware. New games introductions, new popular films – Nnll developers make everything to get their victims on that. One of the most favored tactics these burglars utilize is one-day sites with torrent downloading links. Nonetheless, following the contemporary news is not the only way these burglars use. Ways that have already turned into classic, such as e-mail spamming, are also usual for STOP/Djvu ransomware distribution.

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

Avoiding this ransomware does not need a lot of initiative. Adhering to the standard principles of PC hygiene will substantially decrease all risks. Remember that starting all documents you get on e-mail is not a good tactic. Even worse scenario is to allow macros in Microsoft Office documents. But it is much better to avoid the malware attack at the moment when you have only opened the e-mail message. Examining the sender’s address can say a lot about what you can anticipate, as well as when you see the thing like “support@amazon.com”– it is likely a legitimate email. On the other hand, stuff that tries to look like Amazon or FedEx delivery alert, but uses the e-mail address of “amazonspurrot1363@gmail.com”– need to make you be on the alarm. Above, you can see the illustration of such a message.

Outlaw sources of various digital things need some additional description. Going against copyright regulation already throws you to the chance of being fined. Nonetheless, using torrent trackers or third-party websites to download “free” programs also exposes you to a wide range of malware. No one can regulate unnamed individuals who launch the torrent seeding or publish the hacked program version on the website with pirated program.
