What is Ccp Ransomware?

Ccp is a type of ransomware that encrypts all the files on a computer until the user pays a ransom. Files that Ccp encrypts will have a . extension appended to the end of the file name. Ccp is delivered through a Win32 EXE file and has been spotted inside the following files and processes: ['EBC1.exe']

Ccp ransomware uses a variety of techniques to gain access to and infect systems, including transferring tools and other files from an external system into a compromised environment, using exploits to gain access, and using social engineering tactics to trick users into opening infected files or clicking on malicious links.

What is Ransomware?

Ransomware is a type of malware that restricts access to a computer system or data, and demands a ransom from the victim to restore access. Ransomware attacks can be financially motivated, such as with the intent of stealing information for identity theft, or can be politically motivated, such as with the intent of sabotaging a nation's infrastructure.

How Does Ransomware Spread?
