How to Eliminate JabaCrypter Ransomware (Crypto-Malware/Ransomware)

What is JabaCrypter ransomware? And how does it implement its attack?

JabaCrypter ransomware is a dangerous crypto-malware that employs the AES cipher to lock targeted files and demands ransom for their file recovery. This new ransomware threat is among the other ransomware infections discovered in the last week of April 2018. According to security experts, it mainly targets Russian-speaking users as its ransom note is written in Russian.
As soon as JabaCrypter ransomware infiltrates a system, it will start to implement its attack by scanning the entire drive of the computer with the goal of finding user-generated files and encrypting them using the AES encryption algorithm. After it encrypts targeted files, it appends the .cryptfile extension to each one of them and drops a ransom note named “ReadMe.html” that is written in Russian – it states:
“Отчёт: Все ваши файлы успешно зашифрованны.
Без паники, Дамы и Господа!
———————————–
Все ваши файлы и базы успешно зашифрованны нашим хитрожопым криптером.
Расшифровка всего вашего добра не имея уникального “расшифровщика” практически НЕВОЗМОЖНА!, Вы просто уничтожите все ваши данные.
Если вы не жадный, а очень щедрый человек, то мы готовы обменять всю вашу драгоценную информацию на жалкие бумажки именуемые бабками.
Поверьте бабло, побеждает зло, отдайте его нам.

Ransom note translated into English:
“Report: All your files are successfully encrypted.
Without panic, Ladies, and Gentlemen!
