Ransomware - PizzaCrypts

PizzaCrypts
Decryptor Available
Yes
Description

PizzaCrypts is a direct variant of JuicyLemon. In fact, it shares almost the exact same behavior and characteristics as its predecessor. The primary differences are the nuances in the email communication names and thus, the file extension name it uses. However, it drops a similar-looking ransom note, uses the same encryption algorithm (AES-256), and extorts victims similarly by using a unique 10-digit ID to track victims. Only with ransomware can you get pizza from lemons.
