MitchPeters Posted March 16, 2018 ID:1224861 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Below is an email I received yesterday. It had a Word file attached as a resume. I downloaded it and all of my files are locked now. Malwarebytes got rid of the virus but files are still locked. Now what do I do.

Aura Posted March 16, 2018 ID:1224866 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hi MitchPeters Can you .zip the email file (you can save the email on your computer) and attach it here? Also, sadly at the moment, files encrypted by Sigma Ransomware cannot be decrypted for free. So the only thing you can do is restore them from a recent backup, if you have one. I suggest that you follow the thread below on BleepingComputer for further development, news, etc. regarding Sigma. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/673023/sigma-ransomware-help-support-topic-readmetxt-readmehtml/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchPeters Posted March 17, 2018 Author ID:1224986 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Here is the zipped file. Thanks, Mitch 281.zip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted March 17, 2018 ID:1225017 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thank you. Was there anything else to address, or that was it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchPeters Posted March 19, 2018 Author ID:1225313 Share Posted March 19, 2018 That's all. Just how to unlock the files. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted March 19, 2018 ID:1225316 Share Posted March 19, 2018 In that case, your best bet is to monitor the Sigma Ransomware thread on BleepingComputer, and hope that a free decryption solution will be released in the future. This being said, stay safe Mitch! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
