Emsisoft Decryptor for Yashma

Emsisoft Decryptor for Yashma is a specialized tool recently released to help victims clean their computer from Yashma ransomware, also known as AstraLocker 2.0. The malware is based on the Chaos ransomware builder and, similar to other ransomware out there, it encrypts all files and changes their extension. Thankfully, using the tool you can decrypt affected files and avoid paying the ransom.

According to security experts, Yashma makes its way into your system through the Windows Remote Desktop feature. If one of the systems has been corrupted, it is highly recommended that all users who login remotely change their passwords immediately. At the same time, best practices dictate that you should check the local user account for extra accounts that appeared and remove them.

Using the Yashma decrypted is a simple and straightforward process, as the tool basically comes with a user-friendly interface that is intuitive. After you launch the tool, you should be able to view the suggested locations for decryption. The locations are provided based on the currently connected network and local drives.

Once you select the drives, hit the Decrypt button and wait for the app to identify and display infected files. Depending on the amount of data on your drives, the process could take some time. Then, wait for the app to finish the scan and display the results of the cleaning operation.

The app offers you the possibility to keep the encrypted files, as it cannot guarantee that the decrypted data is identical to the original one. If you want to keep them to try again, mark this feature from the Options tab.

In the eventuality that you were an unfortunate victim of this particular malware and want to avoid all the hassle of paying the ransom, which is not even a guarantee that you can recover your files, then perhaps you can consider giving Emsisoft Decryptor for Yashma a try.
