What is Supportfiless24?

Supportfiless24 is a high-risk virus, a variant of Scarab ransomware. It is designed to infect systems and encrypt stored data so that affected people cannot use it until ransom demands are met. Supportfiless24 ransomware encrypts files using the RSA-2048 cryptography algorithm.

It changes the encrypted filenames by applying a random sequence of letters, numbers, and symbols, and adding the ".supportfiless24@protonmail.ch" extension. For example, after encryption "sample.jpg" might be renamed a filename such as "9UXF5ee0ct+=lA.supportfiless24@protonmail.ch".

Therefore, encrypted files become unusable and indistinguishable. This virus also places the "HOW TO RECOVER ENCRYPTED FILES-supportfiless24@protonmail.ch.txt" text file in each folder containing encrypted files.
