What is Unnamed Encrypt Ransomware?
Unnamed Encrypt Ransomware is a regular cryptovirus that aims to encrypt user files of various formats and types, for example, office documents, audio, video, multimedia, archives and much more. Encryption is performed using the AES algorithm. The greatest activity of this crypto-extortioner was identified in mid-June 2019. It is worth noting that the cryptovirus was originally written for English-speaking users, however, in a matter of days, Unnamed Encrypt has spread around the world, so more and more users want to remove Unnamed Encrypt Ransomware and decrypt .encrypt files. The virus changes the file extension to .encrypt, as a result of which the files finally become non-usable. Below we have placed the image and content of the scam text message contained in the README_FOR_DECRYPT.txt file:

The note contains a reference to the .onion extension, which was also indicated in the note from the developers of the 23qp1 Ransomware. This may indicate that Unnamed Encrypt belongs to a particular family, for example, the Orion Ransomware family. Fraudsters indicate the only possible decryption option – payment of ransom. To do this, the user must go to the specified link, using the Tor browser. The purchase itself must be made in bitcoins. By the way, the cryptocurrency is not chosen by chance, because only in this way can fraudsters hide their location, since cryptocurrency transactions are practically not traceable.
