What is Twist?

First discovered by malware security researcher, Michael Gillespie, Twist is a ransomware-type virus that stealthily infiltrates the system and encrypts most files. During encryption, Twist adds the ".[twist@airmail.cc].twist" extension to the name of each encrypted file.

For example, "sample.jpg" would be renamed to "sample.jpg.[twist@airmail.cc].twist". Once files are encrypted, using them becomes impossible. After successfully encrypting files, Twist creates a text file ("How_Decrypt_Files.txt"), placing it on the desktop.
