Wat is een R5A-bestand?
An R5A file is a file that has been encrypted by 7ev3n ransomware, which is malware distributed by cybercriminals. It contains a file, such as a .DOCX, .JPG, .PDF, or .ZIP file, that has been renamed and encrypted by the virus. R5A files can be decrypted for free using a decryption tool available on GitHub.
Meer informatie
In 2016, some PC users reported that their computers had been infected by a new form of ransomware called 7ev3n. 7ev3n encrypts, renames, and moves a targeted variety of a user's files. It then shows the user a ransom note. The note includes instructions the user can follow to pay a ransom of 13 Bitcoin and receive a private key that will allow them to decrypt their files.
Later in the year, an additional strain of 7ev3n, called 7ev3n-HONE$T, began infecting computers. 7ev3n-HONE$T asked users to pay only one Bitcoin to decrypt their files, possibly because by this point, a helpful GitHub user named hasherezade had developed a free tool that could be used to decrypt R5A files.

Waarschuwing
FileInfo.com recommends you never pay a ransom to decrypt files encrypted by ransomware. Paying a ransom encourages ransomware distributors to continue their efforts, and there is no guarantee that paying a ransom will give you access to your files. Instead, you should restore your data from a recent backup created before the ransomware infected your computer.
