According to PCrisk, Xorist is a family of ransomware-type malware. After stealth system infiltration, ransomware from this family encrypts various files stored on the computer. After encrypting the files, this ransomware creates a 'How to Decrypt Files.txt text file on the victim's desktop. The file contains a message stating that the files can only be restored by paying a ransom.
