During encryption, it appends the files with .prynt file extension and makes totally useless. For example, a file named 1.jpg becomes 1.jpg.prynt after encryption.

Soon after completing the encryption process, the ransomware creates a file “_RECOVER_FILES_.prynt.txt” and display pop-up window and drops it on each folder containing encrypted files. The created note informs victims that all their files are encrypted and they require contacting cyber criminals using their cryptowallet address.

Further, it also suggests that there is only one way to restore encrypted files which is paying the ransom. To decrypt their files, victims must have to pay 100 USD in Bitcoin or other digital cryptocurrency. Before paying money, they offer free decryption test of some encrypted files.
