The 360 suffix ransomware virus is a kind of ransomware virus in the BeijingCrypt ransomware family. Once this malware attacks the server of the enterprise, it will use its unique encryption technology to scan the system files, encrypt all files of the user, and ask the user to pay a ransom to unlock the file. Recently, we have received many requests for help from enterprises. The ransomware in the enterprise server was attacked by the 360 suffix ransomware. The important data inside the computer was encrypted, and many businesses could not be carried out normally, which seriously affected the normal operation of the enterprise. The following is a brief introduction of the 360 suffix ransomware related information and preventive measures.
1. Transmission method: 360 suffix ransomware usually enters the victim's device through email attachments, malicious download links, infected software installation programs, or malicious advertisements. Once a user clicks or downloads an infection source, the virus will start spreading and encrypting files on the victim's system.
2. Encryption method: Once the 360 suffix ransomware successfully enters the victim's system, it will use the complex encryption algorithm AES symmetric encryption algorithm or RSA asymmetric encryption method to encrypt files, including documents, pictures, audio, video, etc. Once the files are encrypted, users cannot access or open them until the ransom is paid. Usually, viruses change the extension of the file, adding a special suffix to indicate that the file is infected.
3. Ransom request: When the user's files are encrypted by the 360 suffix ransomware virus, the virus will display a ransom message to the user, asking the user to pay a ransom to obtain the decryption key needed to unlock the file. These ransom messages usually come in the form of pop-ups, desktop wallpaper changes or text files. It is recommended that you do not trust the promise of the blackmailer, because there are countless incidents of secondary blackmail, and the correct way is to consult a professional ransomware decryption and recovery vendor. Yuntian Data Recovery Center has a professional data recovery research and development team for many years, and has rich experience in decrypting ransomware with various suffixes such as 360.

4. Preventive measures: In order to protect corporate servers from 360 suffix ransomware attacks, we can take the following preventive measures:
(1) Regularly back up important files and store the backups on a device separate from the original system.
(2) Install reliable security software and keep it updated at all times.
(3) Do not open email attachments from unknown sources or download suspicious files.
(4) Be wary of clicking on links from unknown sources, especially in social media or email.
(5) Update operating systems and applications to patch known vulnerabilities.
(6) Educate employees about the risks of cybersecurity and ransomware, and provide training to enhance their security awareness.
It is a very troublesome thing for an enterprise's server to be infected with a 360 suffix ransomware virus. We must keep a clear head in the face of such incidents. First, determine how many servers are attacked by the ransomware virus, how many databases are attacked, and how much capacity. Do not trust the promises of blackmailers, because secondary blackmail incidents occur frequently. The correct way is to consult a professional ransomware decryption and recovery manufacturer, and deal with the ransomware through professional means.
