Telecrypt Ransomware Data Recovery

History

Telecrypt Ransomware was first discovered in February 2016 by malware researcher Michael Gillespie. Telecrypt is closely related to Crypt888 Ransomware, which was also first discovered by Michael Gillespie in December 2015.

Telecrypt is also known as Locky Ransomware, Telecryptor virus.

This ransomware is written in the C++ programming language and uses the AES-256 encryption algorithm to encrypt files. Telecrypt will add the “.locked” extension to all of the files it encrypts.

Once it has encrypted a file, it will display a ransom note informing you that your files have been encrypted and demanding payment of a ransom to decrypt them. Telecrypt will also delete all of the Shadow Volume Copies on your computer, which makes it difficult to recover your files using traditional methods.

How does it infect my computer?

It usually arrives on your computer through an email attachment or by downloading a malicious file from the internet. This ransomware may be distributed through malicious advertising on websites or through exploit kits that exploit vulnerabilities in your web browser or plugins. It may also be distributed through pirated software or via third-party download sites that bundle malicious software with legitimate software.

Once Telecrypt Ransomware is installed on your computer, it will create a mutex named “Global/ Telecrypt” to prevent multiple instances of malware from running.

Prevention

To prevent Telecrypt Ransomware infections in the future, you should be very careful when opening email attachments from unknown senders.

You should also be very careful when downloading files from the internet.

It is also important to have a reliable anti-malware program installed on your computer at all times and to keep it up-to-date.

Also, backup your important files regularly to an external hard drive, USB flash drive, or online backup service. This will help you to restore your files if they are ever encrypted by Telecrypt or any other type of malware.

And you should use very strong passwords for all of your online accounts.

How to remove it?

Warning: This ransomware is very difficult to remove manually. If you are not comfortable making changes to your system settings, then we do not recommend attempting to remove Telecrypt Ransomware yourself.

Removing it manually may require restarting your computer in Safe Mode or using a specialized anti-malware program.

To remove ransomware from your computer, you can use a reputable anti-malware program like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. You can also try using a free ransomware removal tool like SpyHunter 5 Combo Cleaner or Emsisoft Emergency Kit.

If you are unable to remove Telecrypt using an anti-malware program, then you can try using a free ransomware decryption tool. However, free ransomware decryption tools are not always effective and they may not work for Telecrypt Ransomware.

Some victims of Telecrypt Ransomware have had luck contacting malware developers and paying the ransom to get their files decrypted. However, we do not recommend this as it encourages the development of more ransomware and in fact, there is no guarantee that you will get your files back even if you do pay the ransom.

It is always best to try to restore your files from a backup if possible. Telecrypt Ransomware is a serious threat to your computer and should be removed as soon as possible.

So, is there a public decryption tool available for Telecrypt Ransomware?

Researchers are constantly working on new ways to decrypt ransomware and a free decryption tool may be released in the future. But at this time, there is no public decryption tool available for Telecrypt.

Free decryption tools are often only effective against certain types of ransomware and they may not work on Telecrypt Ransomware. So, even if a free decryption tool is released in the future, there is no guarantee that it will work on Telecrypt Ransomware. Be careful and only download decryption tools from trusted sources.

You can also try using a file recovery program to recover deleted or encrypted files. This method may not work for Telecrypt Ransomware, but it is always worth a try.
