In this article, we’ll provide an overview of SuperCrypt Ransomware, its background, how it works, and what you can do if you’re a victim of this malware.
SuperCrypt is a type of malware that encrypts your files and demands a ransom for the decryption key. This ransomware is particularly dangerous because it uses strong encryption, making it very difficult to recover your files without paying the ransom. SuperCrypt Ransomware is primarily spread through phishing emails, malicious websites, and infected advertisements.
If it infected you, you will see a message demanding a ransom to decrypt your files. It is important not to pay the ransom, as there is no guarantee that you will receive the decryption key. If you have SuperCrypt on your system, it is important to remove it immediately to prevent further damage.
This ransomware was first discovered in August 2016. At that time, it was known as SuperCrypter Ransomware. This malware is a variant of Crysis Ransomware, which was first discovered in February 2016. SuperCrypt uses the same encryption algorithm as Crysis, which is a very strong encryption algorithm. It is believed to be developed by Russian-speaking hackers.
It uses the RSA-2048 encryption algorithm. This is encryption algorithm is used by many businesses and organizations to protect their data. SuperCrypt generates a unique RSA-2048 key for each file that it encrypts. This key is then used to encrypt the file. The encrypted file can only be decrypted with the RSA-2048 key.
It uses the .SuperCrypt extension for encrypted files. For example, a file named “sample.jpg” would be renamed to “sample.jpg. SuperCrypt”
The SuperCrypt ransom note is a text file that is created after the encryption process is complete. This text file contains instructions on how to pay the ransom and decrypt your files. It also includes a unique ID that is used to identify your computer. The SuperCrypt ransom note will be displayed every time you try to access an encrypted file.
The ransom amount is typically 1 Bitcoin, which is currently about $700. However, the ransom amount may vary depending on when it infected you and the current value of Bitcoin.
There are a few things you can do to protect yourself from SuperCrypt and other malware:
SuperCrypt is a serious threat that can cause a lot of damage, so it’s important to remove it from your system as soon as possible.
Then, you should restore your files from a backup, if you have one.
Public decryption tool
If it infected you and you don’t have a backup, you may be able to use a free decryptor. However, there is no guarantee that this will work, and it may not be available for all variants of this ransomware.
Anyway, at that point, you have two options:
- Pay the ransom: This is not recommended, as you may be inadvertently supporting criminal activity.
- Try to decrypt your files yourself: This is a difficult and time-consuming process, and there is no guarantee that it will work. In addition, you may accidentally delete your files if you don’t know what you’re doing. Therefore, we recommend that you only attempt this if you are confident in your ability to do so.
Unfortunately, there is no public decryption tool available for SuperCrypt Ransomware at this time.
