How LeChiffre ransomware behaves
From our report of Nov 2020 · not reviewed since
LeChiffre ransomware - file-locking virus that is installed manually after an RDP break-in
LeChiffre ransomware is a relatively old data-locking malware from 2016.
Back then, it was known for attacking three banks and a pharma company in Mumbai. Unlike many other viruses of this type, it is not distributed in the regular ways, such as malspam or exploits, but rather installed manually by the attackers.
In other words, other ransomware use automatic procedures to reach out and later execute the malicious payload on the targeted machine, while the LeChiffre virus' executable needs to be launched by threat actors manually. Criminals are in search of vulnerable RDPs, crack them, and forcibly enter the login password from a remote server.
As soon as malware is launched, the encryption process with RSA-1024 and AES algorithms is performed, appending .LeChiffre extension in the process. Suchlike documents, pictures, videos, databases, and other files become inaccessible to the victims. In order to recover data, they are asked to email the attackers via the decrypt.my.files@gmail.com email and pay the ransom.
Some victims claimed that they were asked for 1 Bitcoin in exchange for a unique key/decryption tool. Paying the ransom is not recommended, however, as there is a fully working, free decrypter available from security company Emsisoft.
Fun fact: LeChiffre is a French word and means "the number," although the verb version of it also means "encrypting" or "encryption." While it is easy to assume that the attackers are of French origins, it is simply impossible to tell based on this fact.
LeChiffre ransomware provides a non-typical ransom note through which criminals try to convince the victims that they are not scammers. As evidence, they offer to send them 1-2 encrypted files that contain less than 5 MB of space but no relevant information.
Additionally, the crooks offer to send the victims a free decryption tool after six months if the users do not want to transfer any money. However, there is no need to pay a ransom or wait as the free decryption software has already been released by Emsisoft researchers.
The encryption is made by encrypting the first and last 8192 bytes of the file and then attaching the malicious key to the file as a 32-byte blob. Continuously, LeChiffre ransomware developers might use remote servers to store both encryption and decryption keys so that the secret codes would be accessible only for the criminals themselves.
After the encryption process is finished, LeChiffre ransomware leaves a note on the infected computer in the format of a .html or .txt file that usually looks like this:
Continuously, LeChiffre virus is delivered through payload that looks like a usual executable file and ends up with a copy of itself (in the format of a .jpg component) in the Trash section.
After that, the hackers can choose what type of files to encrypt no matter if it is all of them or just a specific number of data. Besides, the ransomware can lock all active data-storing sources not only the ones that are placed on the computer system directly.
Nevertheless, LeChiffre ransomware replaces the sethc.exe executable in the C:\Windows/system32\sethc.exe with cmd.exe to open a backdoor on the infected machine system. The original sethc.exe file can be executed by the user clicking the SHIFT key on his keyboard for 5 times in a row when the criminals can call the placed cmd.exe file and launch specific commands automatically by gaining remote access to the machine with no login data required.
Another interesting thing about LeChiffre ransomware is that the malware records relevant data about the machine's geographic locations and provides the country code number on the left of the graphical user interface. Additionally, criminals initiate remote communication by using an HTTP protocol and deliver important information through a Command & Control server.
The name "LeChiffre" might have different relations. Cybersecurity specialists claim that the word is French and translated means "the number", however, if we emphasize the word as a verb or noun "chiffer"/"chiffrement", it means encrypting/encryption. Another theory says that LeChiffre ransomware was named after the name of the villain called "LeChiffre," meaning "the Cypher", featured in the first James Bond movie. The latter franchise inspired many cybercriminals.
If you see the ransom note or files encrypted with the .LeChiffre appendix added to each filename, it is actual proof that LeChiffre ransomware has attacked your computer. We do not recommend paying the ransom . You cannot trust the cybercriminals - there's no guarantee that they will put any efforts to help you get the files back. Plus, a decryptor for this ransomware has been created already.
However, you can also restore your files in case you have backup copies of them . If you have such copies of your files, all you need to do is to remove the LeChiffre ransomware from your computer.
Keep in mind that you should store backups on an EXTERNAL backup drive, because some viruses can reach your online data cloud storage and infect files that are stored there, too. Also, after you force the virus to vanish, you can try to fix the damage that has been left by the malware by employing a tool such as .

Distribution techniques for ransomware viruses
Security experts from Virusai.lt claim that ransomware viruses spread through different channels.
Some cybercriminals find ways how to distribute the malware via Remote Desktop Ports that do not have password protection or include weak passwords that are very easy to guess.
Crooks also prefer disguising their threats in spam emails. Users are deceived with the fake notifications supposedly sent from delivery companies such as FedEx/DHL, banking companies, or even law enforcement institutions. Once a suspicious message with the intention to infect users is received, people are encouraged to click on an infectious link or open a questionable attachment, mostly, an executable or word document.
Continuously, ransomware can be distributed through exploit kits, various outdated services, and products, other malicious threats such as trojans, or on p2p networks such as The Pirate Bay that provide various software cracks and have very low protection.
Avoid clicking on suspicious hyperlinks, downloading bogus products from the Internet, opening unknown emails and you will have a great chance of avoiding ransomware viruses. Besides, get an antivirus program that will ensure full system protection during your computing work.

LeChiffre ransomware attacked banks and a pharma company in Mumbai. The newer version uses a password-guessing technique
Since the appearance of the ransomware in mid-summer 2015, the authors have not departed the ransomware market.
Unfortunately, the virus has been continuously developed. Small business with a wider network of servers happens to be the preference of LeChiffre malware.
Additionally, news reports regarding LeChiffre virus activities have been flooding the cybersphere back in 2016 when the malware aimed to attack the Indian banks and a pharma company. The criminals have demanded a ransom of 1 BTC on every infected machine which could have related in huge monetary losses (up to millions of dollars) if the ransom demands would have been taken seriously.
It has been also known that the newer version of LeChiffre ransomware utilizes a password-guessing technique. In other words, if you have been using a standard and a weak code such as "password123" , the cyber villains easily hack into the server remotely and then download the main payload of the ransomware.
Therefore, netizens are advised to use long passwords comprised of characters and numbers. Password managers may also be a solution.

How to remove LeChiffre ransomware
Tools you'll need
All of these are free except where noted. Download them on a clean device if the infected PC is offline.
- A USB stick: to keep the ransom note, two or three encrypted files and screenshots off the infected PC.
- Microsoft Defender Offline: built into Windows 11 and Windows 10; scans before Windows starts, so running malware cannot hide.
- Microsoft Safety Scanner: a second, portable scanner with current signatures; each download works for 10 days.
- ID Ransomware: identifies the family from the note and one encrypted file and says whether a decryptor exists.
- No More Ransom: the free decryptors from police and security companies; check it again every few months.
- Fortect (optional): scans Windows for malware and repairs the system files and settings it damaged. The free scan is in the box above.
How to remove LeChiffre ransomware and get your files back
Work in this order.
Disconnecting comes first, removal comes before any restore, and nothing here asks you to contact the attackers.
Step 1: Disconnect the PC and unplug backup drives
Unplug the network cable or turn off Wi-Fi, and disconnect USB drives, external disks and network shares, so LeChiffre ransomware cannot reach more files. Pause OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox sync, because synced folders upload the encrypted copies over the good ones.
Leave the PC on but offline while you read the next steps, since a restart can let the ransomware run again. This applies to Windows 11 and Windows 10 alike.

Step 2: Save the ransom note and confirm the family
Your files now end in
.lechiffreand the instructions are inthe ransom note. Save both to a USB stick, a copy of the note and two small encrypted files, before anything else.On another device, check them with ID Ransomware or Crypto Sheriff: the family name decides which decryptor, if any, can help. Keep the note's ID and contact line for your report.

Step 3: Check for a free decryptor
Our last check found that for LeChiffre ransomware, no free decryptor is known (checked 7 October 2026). Look again yourself in the No More Ransom list and the free decryptor pages of Emsisoft, Avast and Kaspersky, which add new families every year.
A decryptor needs the ransomware gone first, or it encrypts the files again. Keep at least one copy of the encrypted files on an external drive, even if no tool works yet.

Step 4: Remove the ransomware before you restore or decrypt
Removing LeChiffre ransomware does not bring the files back, but it has to come first. Start with Defender's Full scan, then the offline scan from the same Scan options page, which checks the disk before Windows loads.
If the scan cannot start, use Safe Mode with Networking. Delete the ransom notes only after you have saved a copy, because removal tools sometimes leave them behind on Windows 11 and Windows 10.
Windows 11: Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Scan options. Full procedure with screenshots: Run a Microsoft Defender Offline scan
Step 5: Look for shadow copies of the files
Windows keeps shadow copies for restore points and backups, and some ransomware fails to delete them.
vssadmin list shadowsin an administrator Command Prompt tells you at once whether any exist.If they do, right-click the folder that held your files, open Properties > Previous Versions, select a version from before the attack, and click Open to check it before you Restore or copy the files out. Windows 11 and Windows 10 both have the tab.
Windows 11: vssadmin list shadows shows whether shadow copies exist. Full procedure with screenshots: Ransomware: first steps, finding a decryptor and recovering files
Step 6: Restore the files from a backup or recover deleted originals
A backup made before the attack is the surest way back. Connect it only once the PC is clean, then restore from File History, Windows Backup, OneDrive's Restore your OneDrive or your own external copies.
Without a backup, try file recovery: the originals that LeChiffre ransomware deleted may still be on the disk until something overwrites them. Install nothing new on the drive you want to recover from on the Windows 11 or Windows 10 PC.

- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc on your keyboard to open Windows Task Manager.
- Click on More details.
- Scroll down to Background processes section, and look for anything suspicious.
- Right-click and select Open file location.
- Go back to the process, right-click and pick End Task.
- Delete the contents of the malicious folder.
Step 3. Check program Startup
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc on your keyboard to open Windows Task Manager.
- Go to Startup tab.
- Right-click on the suspicious program and pick Disable.
Step 4. Delete virus files
Malware-related files can be found in various places within your computer. Here are instructions that could help you find them:
- Type in Disk Cleanup in Windows search and press Enter.
- Select the drive you want to clean (C: is your main drive by default and is likely to be the one that has malicious files in).
- Scroll through the Files to delete list and select the following:
Temporary Internet Files
Downloads
Recycle Bin
Temporary files - Pick Clean up system files.
- You can also look for other malicious files hidden in the following folders (type these entries in Windows Search and press Enter):

Remove LeChiffre ransomware and restore files
According to the note of .LeChiffre file extension virus, you can get your files back for free after 6 months.
This is unlikely to happen. There is no guarantee that the crooks will return the undamaged or all files after this period. Do not waste time and initiate automatic LeChiffre ransomware removal.
Install and update your security applications, e.g. or . Don't forget that your system might need an extra repair with or similar software to restore damaged Windows system files.
Only when the full elimination is completed, you can proceed to file recovery steps. In case, you encounter any problems and cannot remove LeChiffre ransomware, the below instructions will help you regain access. You can boot your machine in Safe Mode with Networking or activate System Restore to disable malicious changes.
Once LeChiffre is completely gone, you can start thinking about data recovery possibilities. Additionally, we have added the original decryption tool released by Emsisoft at the end of this article that you might want to give a try to.
[GI=method-1]To disable all malicious processes on your Windows computer system, complete the following guidelines.
[GI=method-2]To boot your machine via System Restore and reverse the system back to its primary state, follow these steps.
If you did not have the back-up copies, this program, which locates missing and damaged files, might help you find the solution with the file restoring process.
Use Windows Previous Versions feature for data restore
If you have enabled the System Restore function in the past, you should give this method a try. Follow all instructions carefully to reach the best results possible.
Employ Shadow Explorer to unlock some individual files
The key advantage of the software is that it may recover the files according to the patterns of shadow volume copies. They are automatically created by every operating system. However, if the ransomware virus erased the copies of your encrypted data, this method might not be work.
Gladly, cybersecurity specialists have released an official decryptor for .LeChiffre files. You can find the tool released by Emsisoft here.
Report it and recover your files
Report it
Report the attack even if you do not expect the files back: insurers and banks ask for the report number, and police use the contacts in the note to link cases.
- United States
- FBI IC3 · FTC ReportFraud
- United Kingdom
- Report Fraud (formerly Action Fraud) · NCSC
- Australia
- ReportCyber (ASD)
- EU countries
- Europol: national reporting sites
Give the victim ID, the note and the date the files were encrypted. A business that holds personal data may also have to notify its data protection authority, in the EU within 72 hours.
Protect the files you restore
Restore only after the scans are clean and the PC no longer shows files that end in .lechiffre and no longer open; otherwise the restored copies can be damaged again.
Then build a backup that survives the next infection:
- one copy in the cloud with version history
- one on an external drive that is disconnected between backups
- the working copy on the PC
Version history matters because a backup that syncs damaged files overwrites the good ones.
How to do this with the tools built into Windows: the 3-2-1 backup rule on Windows.
Stream videos without limitations, no matter where you are
There are multiple parties that could find out almost anything about you by checking your online activity.
While this is highly unlikely, advertisers and tech companies are constantly tracking you online. The first step to privacy should be a secure browser that focuses on tracker reduction to a minimum.
Even if you employ a secure browser, you will not be able to access websites that are restricted due to local government laws or other reasons. In other words, you may not be able to stream Disney+ or US-based Netflix in some countries. To bypass these restrictions, you can employ a powerful VPN, which provides dedicated servers for torrenting and streaming, not slowing you down in the process.
Data backups are important - recover your lost files
Ransomware is one of the biggest threats to personal data.
Once it is executed on a machine, it launches a sophisticated encryption algorithm that locks all your files, although it does not destroy them. The most common misconception is that anti-malware software can return files to their previous states. This is not true, however, and data remains locked after the malicious payload is deleted.
While regular data backups are the only secure method to recover your files after a ransomware attack, tools such as can also be effective and restore at least some of your lost data.
Questions about LeChiffre ransomware
How do I open .lechiffre files?
You cannot open them by renaming or with another program, because the content of files ending in .lechiffre has been encrypted. The only ways back are a working decryptor for the family, or clean copies from elsewhere:
- OneDrive versions
- File History
- an offline backup drive
- Previous Versions if the ransomware did not delete them
Identify the family first by uploading the ransom note and one encrypted file to ID Ransomware or No More Ransom. Avoid websites and programs that promise to open any encrypted file; they do not work and some are scams.
Should I pay the ransom in the ransom note?
Not before you have tried everything else. Identify the family from the ransom note and one encrypted file, check No More Ransom for a free decryptor, and look for clean copies in OneDrive, backups and Previous Versions.
Paying funds further attacks, may be illegal if the group is sanctioned, and is no promise of a working key: many victims get partial or broken decryption. If you consider paying for business-critical data, involve the police and a professional incident responder first, and never pay through intermediaries who promise their own decryption.
Is there a free LeChiffre ransomware decryptor?
We last checked on 7 October 2026, and for LeChiffre ransomware no free decryptor is known. We check No More Ransom, which collects free tools from police and security companies, and the decryptor pages of the major antivirus vendors. A working decryptor exists only when the encryption has a flaw or the keys were leaked or seized.
Ignore sites and videos that offer a "LeChiffre ransomware decryptor" for download or for a fee: these are usually scams or malware. Real decryptors are free and come from known security companies or law enforcement. Keep the encrypted files in case a tool appears later.
Are ransomware recovery services legitimate?
Some are, but read the offer carefully. Genuine data-recovery firms recover deleted originals from disks or rebuild damaged files, and they say so. Others promise to "decrypt any ransomware" for a fixed price, which is impossible without the key; they quietly pay the attackers and keep a margin, sometimes without telling the victim.
Be especially careful with services that contact you after you post about the attack online. Ask for references, a written method and a no-result-no-fee clause, and check the free tools on No More Ransom first.
How did LeChiffre ransomware get on my computer?
The way LeChiffre ransomware spreads has not been documented yet, so look at your own recent activity. On home PCs, ransomware most often comes with cracked programs, game cheats, key generators and fake updates, or with an e-mail attachment that was opened. On business networks, attackers usually log in through Remote Desktop with a stolen or guessed password.
Think back to what was downloaded or installed in the days before files that end in .lechiffre and no longer open, and check the Downloads folder and Installed apps sorted by date. Keep anything suspicious for your report, but do not run it again.
Did LeChiffre ransomware steal my files or passwords?
We do not know yet. Nothing published so far shows data theft by LeChiffre ransomware, but the only confirmed sign is files that end in .lechiffre and no longer open, which says nothing about what happened before. Many current ransomware attacks copy files or run a password stealer first, so it is wise to act as if they did.
From a clean device, change the passwords that were saved in the browsers on this PC, starting with e-mail and banking, sign out of all sessions and turn on two-step verification. Watch bank statements and account activity for the next few weeks.
Is LeChiffre ransomware the same as other ransomware with a similar name?
Not necessarily. Ransomware names come from the file extension, the note or a word in the code, so unrelated families often end up with similar names, and one family can appear under several names. The difference matters: a decryptor or advice for one family does not fit another and can damage files.
Compare the ending added to your files and the exact name of the note with the summary table at the top of this guide, then upload the note and one encrypted file to ID Ransomware from a clean device. If the result names another family, follow the guide for that family instead.
What does the ransom note tell me about the ransomware?
Quite a lot. The file name the ransom note, the wording, the contact addresses and the format of the personal ID are typical for each family. Uploading the note together with one encrypted file to ID Ransomware or No More Ransom's Crypto Sheriff usually names the family within seconds.
That name decides your options: some families have free decryptors, some can be partially recovered, and some cannot be decrypted at all. The note's claims about stolen data should be taken seriously but not at face value.
My files got .lechiffre overnight. What happened?
Ransomware often runs at night or when the PC is idle, so the encryption finishes before anyone notices. It usually entered earlier through a cracked program, a fake installer, an e-mail attachment or remote desktop with a weak password.
The .lechiffre extension marks every file it reached. Start by disconnecting the PC from the network, then identify the family from the ransom note and one encrypted file, check for a decryptor, and look for copies in backups and OneDrive before you consider anything else.
Will Fortect remove LeChiffre ransomware?
Fortect scans Windows for malware and unwanted programs and repairs the system files and settings they change, and its free scan shows what it finds on your PC before you decide anything.
For LeChiffre ransomware, follow the plan above as well: the browser steps take back permissions and settings that no scanner treats as a threat, and uninstalling the program that brought it removes the source.
Run Microsoft Defender's full scan and, if anything was found, its offline scan as a second opinion. If the symptoms are gone after the plan and both scans are clean, there is nothing more to do.
