🚨 Need help identifying a ransomware variant
A friend’s on-prem Windows Server was compromised.
Current observations:
• Every file across C:, D: and E: has been encrypted
• Extension appended: .XRET
• Ransom note identifies itself as XRET RANSOMWARE
• Contact details:
Proton: [email protected]
Telegram: @MRXret
WhatsApp: [phone]
• Demanding $800 USDT and offering a free decryption test.
We’ve isolated the server and are preserving evidence. No backups unfortunately.
Has anyone encountered this .XRET variant or these indicators before? Any known decryptor, IoCs, or incident reports would be hugely appreciated.
Please RT for visibility.

paid ₹18,800 to @stellarinfo for a data recovery service.

Their engineers concluded only ~460 GB from my 4 TB drive was recoverable.

I later independently verified that my original drive still contains ~1.38 TB of accessible data with its original folder structure.

Even more concerning, the recovery drive returned by Stellar now fails to mount on three different Macs, despite being fully functional before I handed it over.

I’ve shared detailed technical evidence and requested a senior technical review, but continue to receive template responses instead of answers.

I hope @stellarinfo leadership reviews this objectively and resolves it fairly before I’m forced to pursue consumer remedies.
