Remove NEXTCRY Virus (+Decrypt .NEXTCRY files) – NEXTCRY Ransomware

NEXTCRY – General Info

The NEXTCRY stands for a ransomware-type infection. The infection comes from the NEXTCRY ransomware family. NEXTCRY was elaborated particularly to encrypt all major file types. Once the file is encrypted people are not able to use them. NEXTCRY adds the “.NEXTCRY” extension for each file encrypted by it. For example, the file “myphoto.jpg“, once encrypted by NEXTCRY, will be renamed into “myphoto.jpg.NEXTCRY“. As quickly as the encryption is completed, NEXTCRY places a special text file into every folder containing the encrypted data.

The message given by NEXTCRY text file requesting for the ransom is absolutely the like the statements given by other ransomware virus representatives belonging to the NEXTCRY family. It literally discusses that the information is encrypted and that the only way to restore it is to use a a distinct decryption key. Sadly, this is absolutely true. The type of cryptography mechanism used by NEXTCRY is still not appropriately examined. Still, it is absolutely specific that each victim may be given the specific decryption key, which is totally distinct. It is difficult to bring back the files without the key available.

Another trick of NEXTCRY is that the victims cannot gain access to the key. The key is stored on a specific server run by the frauds related to NEXTCRY ransomware. To get the key and recover the important info people need to pay the ransom.

However, regardless of the asked for amount, people need to stay away from paying the ransom virus. Cyber frauds are unfair, so they tend to totally ignore what their victims feel about the problem, even when the payment reaches their pockets. This is why paying the ransom generally does not provide any positive outcome and people simply lose their money for absolutely nothing.

We strongly advise that you do not contact these crooks and certainly do not transfer money into their accounts. It is said to admit that there are no utilities able to crack NEXTCRY ransomware and to recover the data data totally free. Thus, the only best decision is to recover the lost data from the available backup.
