To understand TrueCrypter Ransomware, one must know what ransomware is. TrueCrypt is a program that puts a person's personal files at risk unless they pay money, or a ransom, to get the decryption key. It gets onto people's computers through email attachments, downloads from malicious websites, and drive-by downloads. When it's on your computer, TrueCrypt will scan all of your drives for certain types of files and encrypt them so you can't open or use them anymore. The TrueCrypter Ransomware then demands that you pay a ransom in order to get the decryption key that will decrypt your files.There are many different types of this ransomware out there, but they all have one thing in common: they're all very difficult to remove. The best way to protect yourself from it is to have a good anti-malware program installed on your computer and to be very careful about the emails you open and the websites you visit.

History

TrueCrypter first appeared in early 2016. It's a member of the True family of ransomware, which includes TrueCrypt, TrueLocker, and TrueLock.The biggest difference between TrueCrypter and other True Ransomware variants is the way it encrypts files. TrueCrypter uses AES-256 encryption, which is a lot stronger than the DES encryption used by other True variants. This makes TrueCrypter much more difficult to decrypt.

What types of files does TrueCrypter encrypt?

It will encrypt any type of file that it can find on your computer. This includes documents, photos, videos, and more. TrueCrypt will even encrypt files on external drives that are connected to your computer.If TrueCrypter encrypts your files, you won't be able to open or use them anymore. They'll be renamed with the .cryp1 extension and you'll see a ransom note named README.txt on your desktop. The ransom note will tell you how to contact the TrueCrypt Ransomware developers and how to pay the ransom.

How much does TrueCrypter Ransomware cost?

The TrueCrypt Ransomware developers demand a ransom of 1 Bitcoin. They give you 72 hours to pay the ransom, and if you don't pay within that time frame, they threaten to double the ransom amount.Paying the ransom is not a good idea, as there's no guarantee that you'll get your files back. TrueCrypter is very difficult to decrypt, so even if you do pay the ransom, there's a good chance that your files will remain encrypted.
