Remove Scarabey Virus (+Decrypt .scarry files)

Scarabey – Ransomware

The Scarabey stands for a ransomware-type infection. Scarabey was elaborated specifically to encrypt all major file types. As soon as the file is encrypted people are unable to use them. Scarabey adds the “.scarry” extension for each file encrypted by it. For example, the file “myphoto.jpg“, once encrypted by Scarabey, will be renamed into “myphoto.jpg.scarry“. As soon as the encryption is finished, Scarabey places a special text file into every folder containing the encrypted data.

The message given by Scarabey text file requesting the ransom is definitely the same as the statements given by other ransomware virus representatives. It actually points out that the info is encrypted which the only way to restore it is to use a a distinct decryption key. Sadly, this is absolutely true. The type of cryptography mechanism applied by Scarabey is still not appropriately examined. Still, it is absolutely particular that each victim might be given the specific decryption key, which is completely unique. It is impossible to restore the files without the key available.

Another trick of Scarabey is that the victims cannot get to the key. The key is kept on a specific server run by the frauds related to Scarabey ransomware. To get the key and recover the important information people need to pay the ransom.

Nevertheless, irrespective of the asked for amount, people need to stay away from paying the ransom. Cyber frauds are not fair, so they tend to totally ignore what their victims feel about the issue, even when the payment reaches their pockets. This is why paying the ransom usually does not provide any positive outcome and people simply waste their money for absolutely nothing.

We highly recommend that you do not contact these crooks and absolutely do not transfer money into their accounts. It is said to admit that there are no utilities able to crack Scarabey ransomware and to recover the information data totally free. Thus, the only best decision is to recover the lost information from the available backup.
