System Cleanup Guide
- Sistemi ağdan DERHAL ayırın — diğer cihazlara yayılmayı durdurun
- Do not pay the ransom — there is no guarantee your files will be restored
- Quarantine the affected drives
- Kullanılan fidye yazılımı ailesini belirleyin (nomoreransom.org)
- Try available decryptor tools (the NoMoreRansom project)
- Report the incident to the authorities (cybercrime unit)
- Temiz bir yedekten kurtarın; yedeğiniz yoksa sürücüyü saklayın

Technical Details
BlackCat (ALPHV) is the first major ransomware written in Rust, enabling cross-platform attacks on Windows, Linux, and VMware ESXi. Emerged November 2021 as a RaaS operation. Triple extortion: file encryption + data exfiltration + DDoS threats. Uses AES-128 (CTR mode) or ChaCha20 for file encryption with RSA-2048 for key protection. Highly configurable JSON config: target extensions, excluded paths, credential stuffing. Uses intermittent encryption (partial file encryption) for speed. ALPHV 3.0 (Sphynx) introduced EXMATTER data exfiltration tool. FBI disrupted December 2023 with decryption keys released for 500 victims. Believed operated by former DarkSide/BlackMatter members.
