After that, ransomware creates ransom notes in form of text file named RESTORE_FILES_INFO.txt and dropped in folders that contains encrypted files. The created ransom note contain email address, number of files that have been encrypted and a key identifier. Once users contact to the cyber criminals, they receive various details such as price of decryption key, how to pay for it and many more.
