Idecrypt Ransomware

Ransomware continues to be the number one malware type among cybercriminals, and its popularity appears to continue to grow in 2021. Nowadays, cybercriminals can access open-source or rentable ransomware, which can be tailored according to their needs. One such family is the VoidCrypt Ransomware, and it seems that many hackers are making use of it for the past couple of months. One of the latest versions of the VoidCrypt Ransomware to be identified in the wild is the Idecrypt Ransomware.

This malware may be distributed via corrupted email attachments, fake downloads, pirated content and other suspicious files. The best way to protect yourself from it is to use a reliable anti-virus software suite, as well as to stick to browsing safe websites.

If the Idecrypt Ransomware's attack is not stopped, it may leave you with a large number of encrypted files. To maximize the damage it causes, this file-locker will go after frequently used files – documents, media, databases, backups, archives and others. The blocked files will have their names changed as well, by using the extension '.[idecrypt.plz.dontworry@gmail.com][<VICTIM ID>].idecrypt.'

The Idecrypt Ransomware's attack ends with the creation and display of the ransom note '!INFO.HTA.' it instructs the victim to message idecrypt@mailfence.com or idecrypt.plz.dontworry@gmail.com. They promise to provide a decryptor if the victim pays some money via Bitcoin, and they also propose to unlock 1-2 files for free. We advise you to ignore the criminals' offer and start the recovery process by running an up-to-date anti-virus tool. Once the threat is eliminated, you will need to get your files back with popular data recovery software.
