Detailed information about tcprx ransomware

According to what researchers have discovered about the term tcprx ransomware, it’s basically a creepy ransomware identity which is technically derived from Dharma ransomware family and is discovered by a well known researcher named Marcelo Rivero. This computer infection is technically crafted by cyber crime master minds to encrypt files and demand users to pay a specified ransom fee in order to get their files restored or recovered back in action. During the encryption process, the malware use to affect files and append those using a new extension as the name of malware, however such files are expected to be inaccessible once encrypted. After the encryption is successfully processed, the malware also use to deploy a ransom note on computer which appears as FILES ENCRYPTED.txt, and the file is usually dropped within all affected directories. Here comes the message which it includes:

YOUR FILES ARE ENCRYPTED
Don’t worry,you can return all your files!
If you want to restore them, follow this link:email [email protected] YOUR ID –
If you have not been answered via the link within 12 hours, write to us by e-mail:[email protected]

In specific case or tcprx ransomware and its distribute, the criminals make use of payload trojan which is designed to connect a system with a remote server and download ransomware files from there. This trojan is spread over global network through spam email campaigns.
