File extension WCRY is used for files encrypted by WannaCry ransomware. WannaCry is dangerous malware that takes files hostage and demands payment to unlock them.
WCRY files contain encrypted user files like .DOC and .PDF. The virus appends the .WCRY extension to files and generates a ransom note. Windows can’t open .WCRY files because it doesn’t recognize the extension.
WCRY files became common in 2017. They are prevalent in China and with Windows 10 users. Most people seeking WCRY info use Chrome. The ransomware was first seen in February 2017, using AES-128 encryption. It appended .WCRY to files after encrypting them. Then it displayed a ransom message demanding Bitcoin to recover data.
