Remove Tisc Ransomware

The STOP ransomware has been detected in new active attack campaigns by security researchers. This new variant appears to be set to use the extension .tisc for files it encrypts. That’s why the new variant is dubbed Tisc ransomware. The decryption key price varies in price and is usually given in Bitcoin. It depends on the time that has passed before the victim contacts hackers. Keep reading this Tisc ransomware removal guide to learn how to remove malicious files completely from the infected PC and potentially recover .tisc files.

Infection Flow of Tisc Ransomware Virus

Once the Tisc ransomware is installed on the computer it creates randomly named executable files in the %AppData% or %LocalAppData% folders. Infection with the newest STOP ransomware variant – Tisc virus starts the moment its payload is executed on the targeted host. The payload controls all malicious system modifications that aim to ensure the stable presence of Tisc ransomware on the computer. The Tisc file virus can read, update and delete some system files or create new malicious files in order to complete the infection.

Once Tisc file virus establishes all its files and objects on the infected host it initiates a scan of all drives and commonly encrypts all files that belong to one of the following types:

.001, .002, .003, .004, .005, .006, .007, .008, .009, .010, .011, .123, .1cd, .3dm, .3ds, .3fr, .3g2, .3gp, .3pr, .602, .7z, .7zip, .ARC, .CSV, .DOC, .DOT, .MYD, .MYI, .NEF, .PAQ, .PPT, .RTF, .SQLITE3, .SQLITEDB, .XLS, .aac, .ab4, .accdb, .accde, .accdr, .accdt, .ach, .acr, .act, .adb, .adp, .ads, .aes, .agdl, .ai, .aiff, .ait, .al, .aoi, .apj, .apk, .arw, .asc, .asf, .asm, .asp, .aspx, .asset, .asx, .avi, .awg, .back, .backup, .backupdb, .bak, .bank, .bat, .bay, .bdb, .bgt, .bik, .bin, .bkp, .blend, .bmp, .bpw, .brd, .bsa, .cdf, .cdr, .cdr3, .cdr4, .cdr5, .cdr6, .cdrw, .cdx, .ce1, .ce2, .cer, .cfg, .cgm, .cib, .class, .cls, .cmd, .cmt, .config, .contact, .cpi, .cpp, .cr2, .craw, .crt, .crw, .cs, .csh, .csl, .csr, .css, .csv, .d3dbsp, .dac, .das, .dat, .db, .db3, .db_journal, .dbf, .dbx, .dc2, .dch, .dcr, .dcs, .ddd, .ddoc, .ddrw, .dds, .der, .des, .design, .dgc, .dif, .dip, .dit, .djv, .djvu, .dng, .doc, .docb, .docm, .docx, .dot, .dotm, .dotx, .drf, .drw, .dtd, .dwg, .dxb, .dxf, .dxg, .edb, .eml, .eps, .erbsql, .erf, .exf, .fdb, .ffd, .fff, .fh, .fhd, .fla, .flac, .flf, .flv, .flvv, .forge, .fpx, .frm, .fxg, .gif, .gpg, .gray, .grey, .groups, .gry, .gz, .hbk, .hdd, .hpp, .html, .hwp, .ibank, .ibd, .ibz, .idx, .iif, .iiq, .incpas, .indd, .iwi, .jar, .java, .jnt, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .js, .kc2, .kdbx, .kdc, .key, .kpdx, .kwm, .laccdb, .lay, .lay6, .lbf, .ldf, .lit, .litemod, .litesql, .log, .ltx, .lua, .m2ts, .m3u, .m4a, .m4p, .m4u, .m4v, .mapimail, .max, .mbx, .md, .mdb, .mdc, .mdf, .mef, .mfw, .mid, .mkv, .mlb, .mml, .mmw, .mny, .moneywell, .mos, .mov, .mp3, .mp4, .mpeg, .mpg, .mrw, .ms11, .msg, .myd, .n64, .nd, .ndd, .ndf, .nef, .nk2, .nop, .nrw, .ns2, .ns3, .ns4, .nsd, .nsf, .nsg, .nsh, .nvram, .nwb, .nx2, .nxl, .nyf, .oab, .obj, .odb, .odc, .odf, .odg, .odm, .odp, .ods, .odt, .ogg, .oil, .onetoc2, .orf, .ost, .otg, .oth, .otp, .ots, .ott, .p12, .p7b, .p7c, .pab, .pages, .pas, .pat, .pcd, .pct, .pdb, .pdd, .pdf, .pef, .pem, .pfx, .php, .pif, .pl, .plc, .plus_muhd, .png, .pot, .potm, .potx, .ppam, .pps, .ppsm, .ppsx, .ppt, .pptm, .pptx, .prf, .ps, .psafe3, .psd, .pspimage, .pst, .ptx, .pwm, .py, .qba, .qbb, .qbm, .qbr, .qbw, .qbx, .qby, .qcow, .qcow2, .qed, .r3d, .raf, .rar, .rat, .raw, .rb, .rdb, .re4, .rm, .rtf, .rvt, .rw2, .rwl, .rwz, .s3db, .safe, .sas7bdat, .sav, .save, .say, .sch, .sd0, .sda, .sdf, .sh, .sldm, .sldx, .slk, .sql, .sqlite, .sqlite3, .sqlitedb, .sr2, .srf, .srt, .srw, .st4, .st5, .st6, .st7, .st8, .stc, .std, .sti, .stm, .stw, .stx, .svg, .swf, .sxc, .sxd, .sxg, .sxi, .sxm, .sxw, .tar, .tar.bz2, .tbk, .tex, .tga, .tgz, .thm, .tif, .tiff, .tlg, .txt, .uop, .uot, .upk, .vb, .vbox, .vbs, .vdi, .vhd, .vhdx, .vmdk, .vmsd, .vmx, .vmxf, .vob, .wab, .wad, .wallet, .wav, .wb2, .wk1, .wks, .wma, .wmv, .wpd, .wps, .x11, .x3f, .xis, .xla, .xlam, .xlc, .xlk, .xlm, .xlr, .xls, .xlsb, .xlsm, .xlsx, .xlt, .xltm, .xltx, .xlw, .xml, .ycbcra, .yuv, .zip

All target files are modified via the strong cipher algorithm AES. The encryption process transforms the original code of target files by making them completely unworkable until the decryption key is applied to the decryptor. Then Tisc ransomware renames encrypted files and marks them with the .tisc file extension.

The Tisc virus also loads Windows Registry editor to create new registry values under keys like Run and RunOnce that will help the automatic execution of its payload each time the Windows OS starts. Furthermore, some values under the same keys may be deleted or replaced so that the ransomware can generate its ransom note automatically on the screen. Before this Tisc files virus drops the file that contains its ransom message.

The Tisc ransomware is designed to localize the infected host so it can present the ransom message in the appropriate language. The message provides two addresses that enable victims to contact hackers for further details about the ransom amount and its payment. The STOP Tisc ransomware malicious operators attempt to blackmail their victims into paying a ransom fee. They demand the amount in Bitcoins. Supposedly, the payment process should enable infected users to restore their .tisc files.

However, there is no guarantee that they will send a working decryption tool even after an eventual successful payment. If you want to regain the security of your PC and retrieve .tisc files, check the removal guide below and follow the steps.

Tisc Ransomware Distribution

The Tisc ransomware is distributed mainly via spam email messages that follow a typical pattern of sending legitimate alike blank emails with malicious attachments. The Tisc virus infected emails contain malicious files archived in .7z format that generally are presented as “Status of invoice”. The email may also be presented as information about package delivery failure or notifications of shipment status. These techniques aim to provoke curiosity and interaction with the attached file. Spreading ransomware through archives is a staple of this type of malware. The attached file contains a malicious VBS file that once opened triggers the Tisc ransomware infection. Other distribution techniques may be browser hijackers, malicious ads and redirects and dangerous software installation packages downloaded from untrusted sites.

Remove Tisc Ransomware and Restore PC

Please note that paying the requested ransom fee to cybercriminals does not really solve your problem with Tisc cryptovirus. In fact, you only encourage hackers to continue spreading ransomware of this kind. Instead, you must remove the threat immediately, and only then look for optional ways to recover your data.

WARNING! Manual removal of Tisc ransomware ransomware requires being familiar with system files and registries. Removing important data accidentally can lead to permanent system damage. If you don’t feel comfortable with manual instructions, download a powerful anti-malware tool that will scan your system for malware and clean it safely for you.
