What is Script ransomware?

Script is a malicious program in the Chaos family. It is categorized as ransomware, which means that the program’s goal is to extort money by encrypting the files and demanding pay for their decryption.
After encrypting the files, the virus also renames them. Each file is given .Script file extension. This means that a file named “video.mp4”, for example, would be renamed “video.mp4.Script” after getting encrypted.
Script also changes the victim’s desktop wallpaper, and, more importantly, creates a ransom note. The note is a very short text file, named “read_it.txt”, which you can read on the image above. As you can see, it barely contains any information at all; the victim is simply told to message the hacker on Telegram.
However, doing so is associated with certain risks. Even if you don’t agree to pay, contacting the hacker can make you a target of another ransomware attack in the future. Luckily, there are alternatives. It is possible to remove Script ransomware and decrypt .Script files without contacting the criminal at all. Read the guide below to learn how to accomplish this.
