.aescrypt Ransomware

The .aescrypt Ransomware is a file locker Trojan, and one more member of the never stop growing family of the Scarab Ransomware. The .aescrypt Ransomware is spread via corrupted email attachments contained in spam emails that, when opened by the computer users, installs the .aescrypt Ransomware on their machines. The .aescrypt Ransomware, just like other members of the Scarab family, has only one objective: encrypts the user-generated files so that it can ask for a ransom, which supposedly, will pay for a decryption software that will bring back the compromised data. As soon as the .aescrypt Ransomware finishes encrypting the victims' files, it will display its ransom note in a file named 'PLEASE READ.TEXT' that reads:

' All your files have been encrypted due to a security problem with your PC.
For information on decoding, please write to the e-mail GeorjeHalique@protonmail.com
Your files are now encrypted!
Your personal identifier:
+4IAAAAAAA***nu9ecxPk
Now you should send us email with your personal identifier.
Contact us using this email address: GeorjeHalique@protonmail.com
Free decryption as guarantee!
Before paying you can send us up to 3 files for free decryption.
The total size of files must be less than 5Mb (non archived), and files should not contain
valuable information (databases, backups, large excel sheets, etc.).
Attention!
* Do not rename encrypted files.
* Do not try to decrypt your data using third party software, it may cause permanent data loss.
* Decryption of your files with the help of third parties may cause increased price
(they add their fee to our) or you can become a victim of a scam.'

The ransom note doesn't specify the ransom amount and offers to decrypt three files for free as a proof that they have the decryption software, an email address for contact, GeorjeHalique@protonmail.com and a personal identifier that should be used on the email the victim must send to the criminals.

Do not accept their demands. However, you should send the three files to be decrypted so that at least this three will be back to normal. Then, use an anti-malware utility to remove the .aescrypt Ransomware from your computer and, if available, recover your data using your file backup. Otherwise, look for alternative recovery methods and hope for the best.
