About this tag
GpCode is a ransomware Trojan that encrypts user files on infected Windows PCs using AES 256 and RSA 1024 encryption algorithms. A new variant overwrites data in files instead of simply deleting them after encryption, making data recovery far more difficult. The malware targets media and Office files, encrypting only the start of each file to hinder recovery. This variant represents an evolution from earlier versions, which only deleted files after encryption. The threat first appeared in 2008 and resurfaced in 2010 with more destructive capabilities.
