Zcrypt ransomware is a type of malicious software that encrypts the files on a victim’s computer and demands a ransom for decryption. The ransomware typically infiltrates a system through phishing emails, malicious downloads, or exploit kits. Once activated, Zcrypt encrypts the files using a complex algorithm, making them inaccessible to the user. A ransom note is then displayed, instructing the victim to pay a sum of money in exchange for the decryption key. It is important to note that it is not recommended to pay the ransom as there is no guarantee that the decryption key will be provided, and it may encourage further criminal activities.
