TellYouThePass


According to PCrisk, Tellyouthepass is one of many ransomware-type programs used to block access to files by encryption and keep them in this state unless a ransom is paid.

The program renames all encrypted files by adding the ".locked" extension and creates a ransom message in a text file called "README.html". For example, "1.jpg" is renamed by Tellyouthepass to "1.jpg.locked".

According to cyber criminals, this ransomware encrypts data using RSA-1024 and AES-256 cryptography algorithms.
