WantToCry Ransomware is a type of malicious software that encrypts files on a computer and demands a ransom in order to decrypt them. It infects computers through various methods such as phishing emails, malicious websites, or software vulnerabilities.
When WantToCry infects a computer, it adds a .want_to_cry extension to encrypted files. It uses strong encryption algorithms such as AES or RSA to lock the files, making them inaccessible without the decryption key.
The ransomware typically creates a ransom note in a text file or as a desktop wallpaper, instructing the victim on how to pay the ransom and receive the decryption key. The note usually contains information on how to contact the cybercriminals and the amount of the ransom.
Unfortunately, there are no known decryption tools available for WantToCry Ransomware. However, it is not recommended to pay the ransom as there is no guarantee that the cybercriminals will provide the decryption key or that the files will be decrypted successfully.
To try and decrypt .want_to_cry files, you can try using data recovery software or restore the files from a backup if you have one. It is important to regularly back up your files to prevent data loss in case of a ransomware attack.
