DoNotChange Ransomware Overview
DoNotChange Ransomware is a catastrophic infection for the PC which usually victimizes the computer system having Windows OS installed in it. It has been labeled a severe infection for the PC including potential of ruining it badly upon being intruded successfully inside it. This threat perforates itself silently inside the PC without the user's knowledge. Identical to those of several other menacing ransomware infections, it also includes tendency of encrypting the system's files and then demanding ransom in exchange of the key that can decrypt them. It regarding the implementation of the encryption algorithm, performs a deep scanning of the entire PC in search of the files extensions included in it's target list. Further upon, after finding such files encrypts them and appends “.Do_not_change_the_file_name.cryp” extension at end.
Likewise the notes generated by several other ransomware infections, in the case of this one also notes includes information about the occurred encryption and states that the enciphered files can only get decrypted or restored via unique decryption tool.

Now though in the case of DoNotChange Ransomware it is not yet known that which cryptography is been used i.e., symmetric or asymmetric, but in whichever case the decryption of the encrypted files is impossible without the unique key which is purposely stored at the remote server controlled by the cyber crooks for encouraging victims into paying for it. However, analysts strongly recommends not to make any sort of payment as the researches have clearly proven that paying never provided the victims with required decryption tool. Instead it is just a scam designed by crooks to extort illicit revenue from novice PC users.
