Razr ransomware is a highly destructive malware that compromises systems by encrypting files, making them inaccessible to users. It typically spreads through phishing emails containing malicious attachments or by exploiting vulnerabilities in software and operating systems.
After infection, Razr ransomware scans the system for valuable files, such as documents, images, and databases. Its payload is activated by deploying a malicious binary that encrypts the identified files. To prolong the attack, it avoids encrypting system-critical files, ensuring the operating system remains operational. Encrypted files are marked with the “.raz” extension, and the malware generates a ransom note, often named “README.txt,” which provides instructions for acquiring the decryption key.
