Threat Database Ransomware Cryptedpay Ransomware

Cryptedpay Ransomware

The CRYPTEDPAY Ransomware is a threat that can cause severe damage to the computers it manages to infect successfully. By engaging an encryption process with a strong cryptographic algorithm, the threat is capable of locking a wide array of file types, thus, rendering them unusable. In practice, victims will no longer be able to access their private or business-related documents, PDFs, archives, databases, pictures, photos, etc. 

Each encrypted file will have '.CRYPTEDPAY' appended to its original name as a new extension. When all suitable files have been locked, the CRYPTEDPAY Ransomware will deliver its ransom-demanding message. First, the default desktop background will be changed to a new image, while the proper ransom note will be contained inside a text file named 'README.txt.'

CRYPTEDPAY Ransomware's Demands

The desktop image will display a brief message from the hackers. It points victims towards opening the 'README.txt' file or contacting the attackers for more details via the 'RansHelp@tutanota.com' email address. Taking a look at the full ransom note reveals a lot more details.

Apparently, the CRYPTEDPAY cybercriminals want to receive the sum of $280, payable using the Monero cryptocurrency. Victims have just 62 hours to transmit the fund to the provided crypto-wallet address. After the allotted time is over, the hackers threaten to damage the infected computers and render the encrypted data unsalvageable. 

The text delivered as a desktop image is:

'All your files have been encrypted

Please read carefully the README text file to be able to restore your files !!
