Apparently, your computer has been infected with MafiaWare ransomware virus. It is a malicious program that encrypts files with AES cipher and leaves a short ransom note called READ_ME.txt, which explains that files have been encrypted by depsex (might be hacker's nickname). Sadly, encrypted data is no longer accessible, and if you do not have a data backup, most likely you won't be able to restore lost files. You have the option to pay the ransom, but we highly recommend not to do so.
The fastest way to remove MafiaWare ransomware is to run an anti-malware application, for example FortectIntego or SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner.
