Get rid of the malicious encryption by .odin ransomware

in odin •  8 years ago 

Ransomware that changes file extensions to .odin holds your data encrypted for ransom. The infection propagates via a number of schemes. One may find its basic modification available on a number of darknet forums. The .odin ransomware is a flexible extortion vehicle. The lowest chain distributors immediately discharge the virus on target computers. They set the amount demanded from users, the lingering span, as well as choose the infection vector at their own discretion.

The customization of the Trojan wants its victims to pay Bitcoins. The BTC rate of exchange to fiat currencies is extremely fluctuating so that the above conversion is but a benchmark. Anyway, security experts discourage the users concerned from transferring any funds to the rascals.

The .odin ransomware is available for adjustments. However, most of the victims report the same behavior of the invader. The prevailing version does not attack immediately upon arrival. It lingers for a while taking the advantage of bewildering the security solution if any. Most of the heuristic routines do not work as these rather focus on the malicious processes spawned instantly or very soon after the program download.

Furthermore, that makes it quite possible that the ransomware files would propagate into network shares and other exchangeable memories.

The reports submitted support the above assumption. Many victims have observed the ransomware infected other computers around after the invasion into their own PC or laptop or any other device.

Do we encourage paying the bitcoins to the crooks? Not at all! Please proceed with the .odin ransomware detection and data recovery steps as outlined here.
