So, once the ransomware manage to assail on machine, it encrypts almost all widely used file kinds and appends the files by adding email address and off coruse a new file extension .Marra to every affected files. Following successful encryption of targeted files on computer, the MARRACRYPT Ransomware even drops a scary ransom note on computer which is named as MARRACRYPT_INFORMATION.HTML and includes various information or instructions for users. For more details about the ransom note, look through the message displayed by the note as mentioned below:

Reading through the ransom note or its message, it simply states that all files on computer is now encrypted by the ransomware which uses RSA-4096 encryption algorithm, and the encrypted files can be restored or decrypted only via using a valid decryption tool and key. However, this key or tool is claimed to be owned by devs of MARRACRYPT Ransomware who created MARRACRYPT Ransomware, and in order to purchase the key/tool, the victims are recommended to contact the devs through their email addresses as [email protected] or [email protected]. Further, the victims are urged to send email to hackers including assigned IDKEY, along with two small sized encrypted file to hackers. In response to that email, the hackers send back the decrypted copy of files, and other information regarding ransom fee size, how to use decryption tool, and so on.

Sending back the decrypted copy to users is technically a trick that is employed to make users believe that the devs of MARRACRYPT Ransomware are really able to decrypt the files, and the decryption tool will be provided to users only when the demanded ransom fee is remitted. Also, the demanded fee is asked to be paid through BTC wallet address provided. Although, the claims made by cyber crime master minds appear to be promising enough, the victims still should not believe the hackers and pay them money. If they do the same, they may get scammed by criminals and get no key, thus all their files remain intact leading to just loss. The better option a victim can try is to remove MARRACRYPT Ransomware and its files from infected computer and the restoring their files using backups and other file recovery measures.
