If the background image is replaced on your desktop with a picture of Pikachu, it is quite possible that the harmful DetoxCrypto Ransomware took over the computer. This Ransomware is very mysterious, and it is still not known access as they on the computer of users. Very likely, various attacks are used for the infiltration of this infection, and you are most likely exposed her about malicious spam emails. The infection in spam emails that use the logos from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Amazon and PayPal could be hidden according to our researchers. Nevertheless you should be careful on all spam emails which are sent and not expected by unknown senders. It was noted that the payload of this infection in the PokemonGO.exe could be hidden. If you download this file, you should delete it immediately to prevent the encryption of your personal data. Unfortunately, the distance brings the DetoxCrypto Ransomware, after she has encrypted the data, no solution.
According to the last information, the DetoxCrypto Ransomware has two different versions, one of them is known as a “PokemonGO” version, which is almost identical to the PokemonGO Ransomware and the “Calypso” version. In any case, this malicious threat will attempt to encrypt your personal files by using the AES or RSA encryption. Media files (such as MP3, AVI and MOV), images (such as GIF, JPG and BMP) and even your documents (such as, DOC, TXT, and PDF) could be drawn from this infection affected. It seems that the infection the data in the Windows directories, and programs (x 86) leaves, which are these typically system files and not personally identifiable. Different than most threats the DetoxCrypto Ransomware adds no unique extensions to help you to find out which files were encrypted. It seems to create text files that explain what is happening. Instead, this threat replaces your regular desktop wallpaper with a picture showing the ransom demand. Also, a window (which carries the name “Pokémon”) may seem, that shows you the claims.
The creators of the DetoxCrypto Ransomware want that you buy 3 Bitcoins – send a specific Bitcoin address which is currently approximately 1540 euro – and payment. The public key is made available, you need but also a private key, and you can only get it by contact the cyber criminals. The contact365@mail2tor.com, pokemongo@mail2tor.com or another E-Mail address could be given to them. You need to think carefully about whether you should or not contact the cyber criminals. If you do this, use your regular E-Mail address not at least because you could flood the Cyberschurken with other malicious spam emails in the future. Generally, the only thing they are interested in, is your money, and if you pay the ransom, they accept no responsibility for decrypting your files. Unfortunately, this means that your files, even if you sacrifice your savings, could remain encrypted. The good news is that it is unlikely that your files are actually encrypted. We advise you to check your files to see whether you can open them all. If you find that your files are locked, check of course whether you may have back-up copies of them. Also try to use legitimate file decryption tools.
Of course, paying the ransom demanded by the DetoxCrypto Ransomware is extremely risky. The amount that is required to decrypt your files is extremely high, and there is no guarantee that the cybercriminals will decrypt your files at all. Hopefully, you have to do it, that even encrypted any files with the version.
