Krypte Virus .fear Ransomware targets German web-users

Krypte PC Virus falls into the category of ransomware because it is designed to encrypt files and demand money to give them free. Unfortunately, you might not be able to decrypt your crypted files using a third-party decryption, and you cannot be certain that this ransom’s developer will send you the decryption key once you have paid. Therefore, malware researches suggest that you remove this ransomware and wait for a free decryption tool to be developed.
Like all ransomware applications, Krypte Trojan is also distributed in a malicious manner with the help of fake emails and phishing emails and if it gets onto your PC, then all your files will be crypted. Malware researchers say that this ransomware is currently configured to encrypt nearly all kinds of files and its subfolders. According to researchers, it is set to encrypt hundreds of file types. The most popular are: DLL. PDF. ZIP. PNG. PSG. PLUGIN. DAT. KEY. M3U. M4A. DOC. DOX.

As a result, you will not be able to open the encrypted files, and since it is set to encrypt executables, some programs may not work or give you error messages.
Krypte Ransomware uses the AES encryption method that is used to encrypt the files and the RSA cryptosystem to encrypt the AES key. This ransomware creates a decryption key that is uploaded to its Command and Control (C&C) server. This ransomware appears with the .fear file extension and alter the encoding, rendering the encrypted files indistinguishable from each other.
After encryption it will render its Graphical User Interface (GUI) window which is written in German language because the developer targets German-speaking users. The developer wants you to pay a small fee in a 15-20 Euro per Paysafe card They also request you to enter your email address into the appropriate line in the GUI, probably to send you the decryption key that you also must enter in the same GUI window.

The project Virus-Entferner is an informational website, which provides different informations about new ransomware, malware, spyware and trojan. The company is located in Germany. It was founded in 2015 by the students and passionate computer security experts at the university of Duisburg-Essen with the aim to protect people form different web-viruses and to give them information about computer protection. All this time we have been working as the publisher and the developer of virus-entferner.de. Of course, today we are not alone behind this project. We try to support everyone who needs help and who has problems with malware, ransomware and other PC threats.
