The only solution is recovering them from a backup, if one was created beforehand and is stored elsewhere. Unfortunately, removal will not restore already compromised files. Removing CRPT ransomware from the operating system will prevent it from encrypting more data. Hence, we strongly advise against paying and thus supporting this illegal activity. We have analyzed and researched thousands of ransomware infections, and this experience allows us to infer that decryption is usually impossible without the cyber criminals' interference.įurthermore, despite meeting the ransom demands - victims often do not receive the decryption tools. The message is concluded with various warnings against actions that can render the data undecryptable or increase financial loss. Before meeting the ransom demands, victims can test decryption by sending the attackers an affected file (within certain specifications). It informs victims that they must pay a ransom in Bitcoin cryptocurrency - to recover their data.
The ransom note states that the locked files have been encrypted. Screenshot of files encrypted by CRPT ransomware: For example, a file named " 1.jpg" appeared as " the encryption process had been completed, CRPT ransomware dropped a ransom-demanding message - " unlock-info.txt" - onto the desktop. Original filenames were appended with a unique ID, the cyber criminals' email address, and a ". We determined that this malicious program is part of the VoidCrypt ransomware family.Īfter we executed a sample of CRPT on our test machine, it encrypted files and altered their titles.
During a routine inspection of new submissions to VirusTotal, our researchers discovered a ransomware called CRPT.
