    .VYIA files Ransomware Attack Variant


    So, basically I downloaded a virus, and most of my files became .VYIA files. I tried OneDrive backup, but it also backups the .VYIA files. I don't know how to access the previous things that I saved. Neither does version history help. I can't do anything at this point. It's been 24+ hours since the threat came. Fortunately, hackers aren't able to access my computer as I deleted the files immediately. Problem is, I need to recover my files.

    :)

    About Ransomware attack

    Here is Microsoft's Customer Guidance on the Ransomware Attack:

    • In March, we released a security update which addresses the vulnerability that these attacks are exploiting. Those who have Windows Update enabled are protected against attacks on this vulnerability. For those organizations who have not yet applied the
      security update, we suggest you immediately deploy Microsoft Security Bulletin MS17-010.

    • For customers using Windows Defender, we released an update earlier today which detects this threat as Ransom:Win32/WannaCrypt.
      As an additional “defense-in-depth” measure, keep up-to-date anti-malware software installed on your machines. Customers running anti-malware software from any number of security companies can confirm with their provider, that they are protected.

    • This attack type may evolve over time, so any additional defense-in-depth strategies will provide additional protections. (For example, to further protect against SMBv1 attacks, customers
      should consider blocking legacy protocols on their networks).

    .VYIA files Ransomware Attack Variant

    Ransomware attacks reported on Windows machines internationally

    All these suppositions suggesting new variants are about to be released is pure conjecture.

    You can bet your bottom dollar that with virtually every law enforcement agency in the World on the hunt for the ransomware attackers, they will be keeping a very low profile, in all probability wearing brown trousers.
