Pay Ransomware is, in other words, a file-encryptor that prevents users from accessing their own data. A recent investigation confirmed that this virus belongs to a group of ransomware developers known as Xorist. Similar to other infections of this type, the virus changes all encrypted files using the .Pay extension. To illustrate, a file named 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.Pay and reset its original icon as well. After getting things done with encryption, Pay Ransomware displays a pop-up window and creates a text file titled HOW TO DECRYPT FILES.txt. Both of them contain identical information on how to return access to files. It is said that victims can restore access to files by paying 50$ to the Bitcoin address of cybercriminals. After completion, victims will have to contact extortionists via the qTox client and receive their decryption code. There is also a warning that 5 unsuccessful attempts to enter the right code will result in irreversible destruction of data. Following this, swindlers encourage victims to be more careful while doing the above-mentioned. Additionally, it is also said that no third-party software like antivirus will help, but only prevent further decryption of data. Unfortunately, what they outline in their messages can be true - some cybercriminals set up protection against manual attempts to decrypt blocked data. In such a case, the only option, if you are in burning need of restoring your files, is either to pay the required ransom or use your own backup copies from external storage to compensate for the loss.

CryptBIT encrypts system-stored files making them no longer accessible and also demands victims to pay 400EUR for data decryption. Infections operating this way are therefore categorized as ransomware. During encryption, CryptBIT highlights blocked data by adding new extension (.cryptbit). In other words, a file like 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.cryptbit and reset its original icon as well. The same change will occur with other file types encrypted by ransomware. The virus also changes desktop wallpapers and creates a text file named CryptBIT-restore-files.txt into each encrypted folder. This file instructs victims on how to decrypt their data. The note displays text that all files have been encrypted and uploaded to external servers. It is, therefore, said that victims can recover their data, but have to send 400EUR (in bitcoins) to the attached crypto address. Cybercriminals also ask to include the victim's e-mail address, to which they promise to send the necessary file decryptor. Unfortunately, it is unclear how victims should do it. While performing cryptocurrency transfers, it is often (if not always) impossible to include additional information like e-mail. Thus, such technical misunderstandings already give strong reasons against trusting cybercriminals behind CryptBIT Ransomware. It is also possible that this ransomware is only a pilot version, and cybercriminals will distribute updated ransomware someday in the future. Whatever it is, paying the ransom is always not recommended.

Pulpysearch.com is part of a browser hijacker which alters the browser's homepage, new tab, and search properties as well. An unwanted program facilitating such changes can be installed on users' PCs in the form of a desktop application or browser add-on.
