By adding its own extension to all the encrypted data. For example,
the file “timesheet.xls and video.mp4” will be titled as

How to Decrypt dewd files that are encrypted By DJVU
Ransomware Decryptor?
STOP (Djvu) has 2 versions.
1. Oldest Version: ...decryption for most of these versions was
previously supported by djvu decryptor if infected with an OFFLINE KEY
(and some of ONLINE KEYS), then updated to a new Emsisoft Decryptor
method for these old Djvu variants...the decrypter will only decrypt
your files without submitting file pairs if you have an OFFLINE KEY.
For ONLINE KEY infection... I have made a tutorial in (English and
Arabic languages) for victims who got their files encrypted with
some old DJVU ransomware variants.
2. New Version: The newest extensions released around the end of August
2019 AFTER the criminals made changes.... OFFLINE IDs/KEYS for some
newer variants have been obtained by Emsisoft and uploaded to their
server. This is possible after a victim pays the ransom, receives a
private key from the criminals and shares (donates) that key with the
Emsisoft Team. ONLINE KEYS are UNIQUE for each victim and just like
older versions, they are randomly generated in a secure manner and are
impossible to decrypt without paying the ransom which is not
advisable.
Run the decrypter on some of your encrypted files. It will tell you the
status of those files.
If you have an OFFLINE ID and its key is loaded in Emsisoft
servers you can download Emsisoft decrypt
tool to decrypt your files that are encrypted with the
same type.
-
In case you have ONLINE ID:
for videos and mp3 files, you can download disktuna, but for the
video, you will need to have a video filmed with the same camera working
or a video with the same settings.
for PDF files, you can try ilovePDF site that can fix the files
partially.
for recover tools in general, they are not very effective with this type
of infection, but if you want to try, you can use these free programs:
The important thing is that when you come to retrieve anything,
you have to restore it to an external hard drive, not to the
same hard drive.
ONLINE ID's for new Djvu Ransomware are not supported by the
Emsisoft Decryptor. If infected with an ONLINE ID, the Emsisoft
Decryptor will indicate there is "no key" for this variant under
the Results Tab and note it is impossible to decrypt.
Error: No key for New Variant online ID
***************************
Notice: this ID appears to be an online ID. decryption is
impossible.
Emsisoft cannot help decrypt files encrypted with the ONLINE
KEY due to the type of encryption used by the criminals.
Decryption of new Djvu Ransomware is impossible if infected by
an ONLINE KEY without paying the criminals for that victim’s
specific private key...these keys are unique for each victim
and randomly generated in a secure manner. Without the master
private RSA key that can be used to decrypt your files,
decryption is impossible...the key cannot be brute-forced and
there is no way to gain access to the criminal's command
server and retrieve this KEY.
That means for now, the only other alternative to paying the
ransom, is to backup/save your encrypted data as is and wait for a
possible future solution if encrypted by an ONLINE KEY.
Is there any Recovery tools used for dewd virus Online
encryption ID ?
Yes, you can use any of these tools according to your encryption
status.
