After the infected file is launched, Milarepa.lotos@aol.com Ransomware should place its data on the system and add a few entries in the Windows Registry. Then the malware might start encrypting targeted data. As it appears to be the malicious program is not only after your personal files but also data that belongs to third-party software on the system (e.g. Skype, Google Chrome, etc.). Every file that is enciphered with the RSA-2048 encryption system is marked with a rather long additional extension, e.g. .id-C4600814.{milarepa.lotos@aol.com}.CrySiS.

Furthermore, the malicious application might replace your Desktop image and leave a text document called “Decryption instructions.txt.” The message has the following sentence: “All of your files was encrypted, if you want to decrypt them write me to milarepa.lotos@aol.com, or alternative mail: goldman0@india.com.” This means that you would have to write them yourself and ask for the decryption instructions. If the Milarepa.lotos@aol.com Ransomware’s creators would reply, they would probably state their price for the tool to unlock the enciphered data and explain to the user how to make the payment.
