CryptorBit is a ransomware program that was released around the beginning of December 2013 that targets all versions of Windows including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. When infected, this ransomware will scan your computer and encrypt any data file it finds regardless of the file type or extension. When it encrypts a file, it will also create a HowDecrypt.txt file and a HowDecrypt.gif in every folder that a file was encrypted. The GIF and TXT files will contain instructions on how to access a payment site that can be used to send in the ransom. This payment site is located on the Tor network and you can only make the payment in Bitcoins.
