DXXD Ransomware Removal Guide

Even though DXXD Ransomware is not as popular as other file-encrypting ransomware infections, it might still appear on your server one day if you are not careful. Yes, it seems that this infection targets servers exceptionally. As DXXD Ransomware is an infection that encrypts files, the first thing you will notice is that all the personal files and important data (e.g. documents) you keep on your server are completely encrypted, i.e. it is impossible to access any of them. Those encrypted files will have a new ending, for example, picture.jpgdxxd. Yes, it adds the dxxd (without a dot) ending next to the original extension (e.g. .jpg) of the encrypted file. Something else that you will notice is a new .txt file (ReadMe.txt) on the screen. Finally, if you use Windows Server, you might also see a message at the login screen saying that the server has been attacked by hackers. Even though ransomware infections always seek to extort money from users, you will not find there any information about the ransomware that you have to pay to get those files back. Of course, it is very likely that you will get further instructions on how to make a payment if you contact cyber criminals by the provided email address. If you have decided not to pay money to criminals by any means, you should not even bother writing an email (they will tell you to do so) to them. Instead, you should erase DXXD Ransomware from your machine as soon as possible.

Like other existing ransomware infections, DXXD Ransomware encrypts files to be able to obtain money from innocent users, so do not be surprised when you notice that all the most valuable files are encrypted. As we have already mentioned, DXXD Ransomware will create a text file ReadMe.txt as well. If you open this file, you will find the following message there:

Dear owner, bad news!!!!

Your SERVER [hacked], and file's [ENCRYPTED]!

If you need back files and recommendation's,

As you can see, DXXD Ransomware does not tell anything about the ransom, but, as we have mentioned, it is very likely that you will be asked to pay a certain amount of money for the decryption tool if you write an email to shellexec@protonmail.com or null_ptr@tutanota.de or contact cyber criminals in a different way. If it happens that you really receive instructions on how to make a payment after writing an email, you should not pay a cent to cyber crooks because the free decryption tool that should unlock files free of charge has been developed by specialists. We are sure you will find it on the web yourself easily. You should also know that all your personal files can be recovered quite easily after the removal of the ransomware infection if your server is not the only place you store your files. In other words, you do not even need the special decryptor if you have a backup of all the files you keep there.

Specialists working at 411-spyware.com cannot exactly tell you how this ransomware infection has gotten up on your server because it is not popular yet, but there is no doubt that it has done that against your will. It might be true that it has entered your server via the particular exploit kit; however, you need to know that ransomware infections are creative threats that might find different ways to sneak onto systems. Unfortunately, you cannot do much if you have already allowed such a serious infection to sneak onto your Windows server.

What you can do to get rid of the ransomware infection is to use some kind of security tool that works on Windows Server OS. Alternatively, you can install Windows Server operating system again to make sure that it is clean. Finally, our main advice would be to back up your servers periodically. If you create a backup, the entrance of malicious software will no longer be a nightmare for you because you could recover the content easily. Of course, you should take care about the safety of your server and eliminate all the security loopholes so that malicious software could not enter again in the future.
