For example, a file originally named "1.jpg" would appear as something similar to "1.jpg.id=1E857D00.[recoryfile@tutanota.com]..jwjs" following encryption. Additionally, ransom messages are created in a pop-up window and "ReadMe.txt" text files, which are dropped into compromised folders.

After the encryption process is complete, a pop-up is displayed that states "The operating system is not presently configured to run this application".
