What is ChineseRarypt Ransomware?
ChineseRarypt Ransomware is a malicious application that places files in an archive and encrypts it. Later on, the malware ought to drop a ransom note claiming only the threat’s creators can restore affected files and that victims who encounter it would have to pay for it. As always, we advise considering this demand carefully as you cannot know if the hackers will help you restore your files even if they promise to. In short, your money might be lost in vain, and if you do not wish to risk it, we encourage you to ignore the malware’s ransom note and restore data from backup copies that you could keep on cloud storage or elsewhere. Of course, it might be unsafe to do anything with an infected computer while the malicious application is still on it. To erase it, you should follow the instructions provided below or get a legitimate antimalware tool that would remove ChineseRarypt Ransomware for you.
Where does ChineseRarypt Ransomware come from?
Like other ransomware applications, ChineseRarypt Ransomware could travel with infected email attachments or malicious installers. Usually, users obtain such content while interacting with suspicious pop-ups and untrustworthy file-sharing websites. Also, malicious installers could be received with Spam emails or messages from unknown senders. Therefore, being cautious with email attachments is just as important as avoiding data from doubtful web pages. If you want to open unreliable files despite it being risky, we recommend scanning such data with a legitimate antimalware tool first. If it does not detect anything malicious, it should be safe to open scanned files. However, keep in mind that outdated antimalware tool might be unable to detect newly appeared threats, so it is best to keep your chosen security tool up to date.
How does ChineseRarypt Ransomware work?
ChineseRarypt Ransomware does not create any files upon entering a system. It means the malware should go straight to performing its primary task, which is encrypting data that could be valuable to a computer’s user. For example, it could lock photos, videos, text files, and other documents, etc. Most ransomware applications we encounter, encrypt each targeted file, but, in this case, the malware places data into an archive and then locks it. One way or the other, the victim becomes unable to access such files.
Soon after the malicious application locks all user’s files, it should open a text file named HOW_TO_BACK_YOUR_FILES.txt. Some of the text in this note could be written in Chinese. Nonetheless, some of it is supposed to be written in English as well. The English ransom note’s part ought to say: “YOUR FILES ARE ENCRYPTED !!! TO DECRYPT, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.” After these words, there should be a few lines explaining a victim would need to contact ChineseRarypt Ransomware’s developers and pay a ransom.
What you should understand is that there are no reassurances the hackers behind this threat will hold on to their end of the bargain. Naturally, if you think that dealing with them could be too risky and do not want to take any chances, we advise deleting ChineseRarypt Ransomware.
