ToxCrypt Ransomware Data Recovery

To understand ToxCrypt, it is important to know what ransomware is in general. Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a victim’s files and demands a ransom be paid for the files to be decrypted and accessible again. 

ToxCrypt specifically targets Windows systems and will encrypt over 160 different file types. It will append the “.locked” extension to all encrypted files. For example, “sample.jpg” would become “sample.jpg.locked”. Also, the ransomware will create two text files named “_HELP_INSTRUCTION.txt” and “_HELP_INSTRUCTION.html” in each directory that contains encrypted files. These text files contain information on how the victim can contact the ToxCrypt developers and make a payment to decrypt their files. ToxCrypt uses the RSA-2048 encryption algorithm, which makes it very difficult to decrypt files without paying a ransom.

If it has infected you, it is important not to panic. There are some things you can do to try to recover your files.

First, you should check to see if you have a backup of your files. If you do, you can restore your files from the backup and avoid paying the ransom. If you don’t have a backup, you can try using a data recovery program to recover your files. There are many different data recovery programs available, so you will need to research which one will work best for your situation.

We recommend SalvageData data recovery software as the best solution for ToxCrypt.

Finally, you can contact the ToxCrypt developers and pay the ransom to get your files decrypted. However, we do not recommend paying the ransom as there is no guarantee that you will get your files back. And it may encourage the ToxCrypt developers to continue their business and infect more people.

If you have been infected with this ransomware, it is important to take action to remove the malware and protect your computer from future infections. You can use a reputable anti-malware program to scan your computer and remove the ransomware. Once ToxCrypt has been removed from your computer, you should change all of your passwords and run a full system scan to check for any other malware that might have been installed on your computer.

Protection from ToxCrypt and other ransomware

It can be difficult, but there are some things you can do to protect your computer. First, you should install a reputable anti-malware program and keep it up to date. You should also regularly back up your files so that you can restore them. Finally, you should be very careful about the emails and attachments you open. ToxCrypt is often spread through email attachments, so it is important to be cautious when opening email attachments from unknown senders.
