What is Galacti-Crypter Ransomware
Galacti-Crypter ransomware is a cryptovirus that extorts money from users. Galacti-Crypter ransomware encrypts data using the RSA-2048 algorithm, which of course makes these files unusable. The type of these files was not chosen by chance, because it encrypts photos, audio, video and everything that is important to the user. Despite the fact that Galacti-Crypter ransomware is aimed at English-speaking users, it still spread all over the world.
A genealogical relationship with any cryptovirus family has not been established. Galacti-Crypter ransomware became active at the end of September 2019 and so far has gained tremendous momentum. Unlike other cryptoviruses, this does not change the file extension but inserts the ENCx45cR prefix in their names. For example, the file 0101document.doc becomes ENCx45cR0101document.doc. Just renaming files does not help. Moreover, cryptovirus deletes shadow copies of files and system restore points. Among other things, Galacti-Crypter ransomware creates the lock screen that contains information about encryption and ransom methods:
