Ransomware - millionandbell - 11-17-2016
I just got a text from my buddy from class and he's asking for help, he was recently attacked by a hacker and the hacker basically encrypted everything on his computer and asked for a form of payment in bitcoin. All he really wants back are his pictures is there anything i can do to help him? or counter the attack so he doesn't have to pay? If you need more information i can get it

I am not experienced in the removal of Ransomware but try looking for some keys on the internet. Just search "nameofransomware here ransomware keys" on Google and you might get a key.
If not, you can try to disconnect from the internet, get farbar recovery scan tool with USB from a different computer to the infected computer and then let it scan on the infected computer and look through the logs for anything suspicious.
If you fail to remove it, I suggest hiring some IT guy to look at your computer.
The last option is factory resetting.
All up to your friend.

I dealt with this with my client the other day and was paid $150 in full. xD

You can try a decrypter, because most Ransomware has one by now. You just need to put it on a USB or something to get it on the computer.

If this still isnt solved, send me (or post) a picture of the message asking for the bitcoins and give an encrypted file, i may be able to tell you which ransomware he got encrypted by and, if applicable, send you the decrypter

Could you upload an example of an encrypted file? I suspect that the ransomware that your friend have experienced is just a rebranded variant of some other family, and it's hard to find any info about the particular variant without looking at an example file.

Could you maybe include what Ransomware is used, or what it's called? Maybe a sample file would be nice, would love to try to reverse engineer it in my free time.

I'm trying to get him to send me a picture of it or something so i have some idea of what he is experiencing

There is nothing he can do. He cannot beat mathematics. His files are gone.
