Encrpt Ransomware

General News

Summary

Although this particular malware is classified as a variant from the VoidCrypt Ransomware family, its potential to cause damage remains significant. Indeed, if Encrpt is deployed on a targeted computer successfully, it will render almost all of the files stored there unusable. Encrypt will first append a string of random characters that may be acting as an ID for the specific victim, followed by an email address controlled by the attackers, and finally, .encrpt will be added as a new file extension. When the Encrpt Ransomware has finished locking all targeted file types, it will drop two identical ransom notes on the breached device. According to the instructions, the first action taken by Encrpts victims should be to locate a key file without which restoration of the encrypted data could prove to e impossible.
