What is Princess Evolution?

Princess Evolution is an updated version of high-risk ransomware called Princess. Developers proliferate this virus by using the RIG Exploit Kit. Once infiltrated, Princess Evolution immediately encrypts most stored files, thereby making them unusable.

In addition, it generates a unique string (e.g, ".RcK1") and appends it to the name of each compromised file (for instance, "sample.jpg" might be renamed to "sample.jpg.RcK1").

Once data is encrypted, Princess Evolution generates two files ("^_READ_TO_RE5T0RE_[random_string].txt" and "^_READ_TO_RE5T0RE_[random_string].html"), placing copies of each in all existing folders.
