Intercobros Ransomware is defined as a file encrypting computer threat whose main aim is to gain profit by blocking the access of more valuable information on the user system.

The created text file contains a very short message state user that your data is encrypted and if they do not contact the attackers any pay them a ransom then all their files will be sold on darknet.

The insist victims to contact them through provided email address. Intercobros developers provide email address [email protected] and [email protected] to contact directly from developers and ask for decryption key to access your data. Before paying money, users are offered free decryption test of two encrypted files by sending to their emails.

In that case, users do not have any option whether they contact cyber criminals or not.
