How do I know if Sodinokibi Ransomware has infected my system?

Sodinokibi / REvil Ransomware are Trojans that encrypt your entire network or specific machines of value. Upon notice of an attack, you are then given instructions of paying a specific amount in ransom to decrypt your files.

First identified circa 17th April, 2019, the gang behind this virus is allegedly the GOLD SOUTHFIELD group, which deploys Ransomware-as-service model to distribute exploit kits, attack unprotected RDP servers, and install backdoor payloads. Some researchers suspect that REvil is closely linked with the GandCrab variant of ransomware.

Sodinokibi ransomware statistics & facts

RANSOM AMOUNTS

Compared to other ransomware variants, the ransom amounts demanded by Sodinokibi attackers can vary largely. The cyber criminals use a dark web browser known as TOR to automate their operations and manage affiliates.

But that doesn’t mean that these hackers do not have the gumption to demand a hefty extortion amount based on organizational size. The average Sodinokibi ransom amount is somewhere between $2,500–$260,000, with some victims reporting demands well into the millions of dollars. But it isn’t limited to the ransom demand.

Victims are faced with unexpected costs in buying and transferring bitcoins, mostly the 10% exchange fees applying to the quick buy methods of Paypal and/or Credit Cards. Along with potential threats to have their personal and business information leaked or sold on the internet if demands are not met.

AVERAGE RANSOM, USD $

AVERAGE LENGTH

The Sodinokibi ransomware downtime is a relatively shorter than normal ransomware attacks, since most attackers use automated TOR sites for accepting payments and expediting the process.

Depending on your company size and how often you use IT-systems in your daily business, this is the most expensive part of this incident. Additional to the unavailability of your IT-systems, this is damaging your company reputation.

You need to get your systems back up and hit the ground running as soon as possible. We’ll ensure minimum downtime once you let experts like BeforeCrypt to manage your situation and recover data.

CASE OUTCOMES

There is a high chance to get a working Sodinokibi decryptor after paying the attackers. This is because they use an automated process to accept payments and deliver the decryption tool. But there’s never a guarantee to get a working decryption key at all.

Most of the victims have reported getting a decryption key successfully on getting their data in original form.

COMMON ATTACK VECTORS

Unsecured Remote Desktop Protocols, phishing emails and executing malicious files. These are the primary reasons of how Sodinokibi infects and encrypts your system.

Frequently asked questions

How Does Ransomware Encrypt Files?

Ransomware encrypts files using advanced cryptographic algorithms, typically AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) or RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman). Once executed, the malware scans the system for specific file types and encrypts them, making them inaccessible to the user. Some variants use symmetric encryption (AES), while others combine it with asymmetric encryption (RSA) to lock files with a unique key pair.

Can You Decrypt My Ransomware Encrypted Files?

Decryption depends on the ransomware variant. In some cases, publicly available decryption tools exist, but not all attacks have a known solution. You can submit a free ransomware recovery request, and we will check for possible decryption methods.
