How to Decrypt Securotrop Ransomware (.securutrop) Files Safely?
Our Securotrop Decryptor: Rapid Recovery, Expert‑Engineered
Our team reverse‑engineered Securotrop’s encryption logic and built a decryptor to support affected companies worldwide. Compatible with Windows, Linux, and VMware ESXi, it aims for reliability, performance, and safe recovery—even if the ransom note is missing.

How It Works?
We perform forensic analysis in a secure AI‑powered cloud sandbox and use login ID‑based mapping from the attacker’s note ( securutrop_readme.txt) to select the proper decryption key. If you lack the note, our universal key handles the latest Securotrop variant.

Requirements
To get started, we need a copy of the ransom note (e.g. securutrop_readme.txt), access to encrypted files ending with .securutrop, an internet connection for secure cloud processing, and administrator privileges on the affected machine.
Immediate Steps After a Securotrop Ransomware Attack
- Disconnect Immediately
Prevent lateral movement by isolating infected systems from network shares and backups. - Preserve Everything
Retain the ransom note and encrypted files intact. Also save logs, network captures, and file hashes. - Avoid Reboot or Wipe
Encryption scripts may trigger again on boot; avoid actions that could destroy recoverable data. - Seek Expert Assistance
Don’t attempt DIY decryption via untrusted sources; professional support greatly improves recovery chances.
How to Decrypt Securotrop and Recover Your Data?
Securotrop is a newly identified RaaS variant active in mid‑2025, believed to carry out double‑extortion: data theft followed by swift network-wide encryption. Files encrypted with .securutrop can potentially be recovered without paying ransom using our decryptor that exploits a vulnerability in the encryption routine.
Free Methods
- Avast Decryptor or Other Public Tools
Occasionally, decryptors from overlapping ransomware families (e.g. early LockBit or Play-based tools) may partially work on early Securotrop strains that use weaker key generation. These tools are available publicly—but compatibility is rarely guaranteed, especially for hardened versions.
Backup Restore
If clean, segmented offline backups exist, restoring from those is often the safest route. Always verify integrity before restoring to avoid reinfection.
VM Snapshots Rollback
Hypervisor snapshots on environments like VMware ESXi or Proxmox can be rolled back to a pre‑infection state—providing rapid recovery if snapshots remain uncompromised.
Paid Recovery Options
- Securotrop Decryptor (Vendor Tool)
Uses login ID mapping and, if needed, universal decryption for modern variants. We provide audit logs, integrity checks, and blockchain-based validation. - Third‑Party Negotiators
Professional negotiators may secure decryption samples or reduce ransom demands, but expect high fees, legal risk, and no guarantees.
Our Specialized Securotrop Recovery Solution
Our decryptor is developed from reverse engineering and testing with real-world samples. It operates both online and offline, supports blockchain-integrated integrity verification, and emphasizes transparency in recovery. Always avoid unverified tools that might fail or contain hidden malware.
Step‑by‑Step Securotrop Recovery Guide
Assess the Infection
Look for files ending with .securutrop and a ransom note named securutrop_readme.txt. These clues help confirm you have a Securotrop infection.
Secure the Environment
Isolate systems immediately and ensure encryption scripts are no longer running.
Submit Samples for Analysis
Send encrypted file samples and note contents to a trusted recovery provider to identify variant and timeline.
Run the Decryptor
Execute the tool with administrator privileges. Enter your Victim ID extracted from the note for accurate decryption.
Choose Recovery Mode
- Offline Mode: Ideal for air-gapped systems—decrypt locally using extracted keys.
- Online Mode: Secure cloud processing with real-time expert support and audit logs.

What is Securotrop Ransomware?
Securotrop is a RaaS variant surfacing in 2025. Its operators steal sensitive data first, then encrypt endpoints with rapid network‑wide deployment. Victims are pressured with double‑extortion threats and dark web leak warnings within hours of infection.
Related Ransomware Families & Suspected Links
Though Securotrop is not yet fully profiled, its behavior closely resembles variants from groups like LockBit and Play. These groups use varying file extensions—such as .lockbit, random nine‑character extensions, or .play—and similar ransom note templates with Tor links and victim IDs. Based on pattern similarity, Securotrop may leverage code or approaches inspired by these families.
Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) & Indicators of Compromise (IOCs)
Initial Access & Execution
Securotrop is believed to gain entry through exposed RDP servers, compromised phishing credentials, or exploitation of VPN/RMM vulnerabilities. This mirrors tactics observed in LockBit and Play ransomware families/ Once inside, tools such as Mimikatz and PsExec are reportedly deployed to escalate privileges and move laterally across domain controllers.
Discovery & Defense Evasion
After gaining access, operators likely scan the internal network using tools such as SoftPerfect Network Scanner, Advanced IP Scanner, and AdFind to enumerate connected systems and shares.To avoid detection, they disable security tools via software like GMER, PowerTool, or Process Hacker, and delete logs using wevtutil or vssadmin commands.
Lateral Movement & Credential Theft
Operators are suspected to use live-off-the-land binaries (LOLBins), Cobalt Strike, SystemBC, or Empire frameworks along with administrative tools like PsExec and Splashtop to access additional hosts and propagate Securotrop across a network.
Data Collection & Exfiltration
Before encryption, files are compressed using utilities such as 7-Zip or WinRAR, then transferred externally using tools or services like StealBit, Rclone, or MEGA—a behavior typical of LockBit affiliates.
Encryption & Impact
Securotrop is thought to use hybrid AES‑256 + RSA‑2048 encryption, similar to Play and LockBit threats. It may also implement intermittent encryption—encrypting chunks of files to evade static detection—and systematically deletes Windows Volume Shadow Copies (vssadmin delete shadows /all /quiet) to block recovery.
Post-Encryption Behavior
Victims often find files renamed with extensions like .securutrop and a ransom note file (e.g. securutrop_readme.txt) in affected folders. This note typically states the victim ID, contact link (TOR), and warns of public data exposure—consistent with extortion templates of related ransomware families.
Key Indicators of Compromise (IOCs)
| Category | Examples |
| Tools Detected | Mimikatz, PsExec, AdFind, GMER, PowerTool, Cobalt Strike, SystemBC |
| File Extensions | .securutrop ; similar to .lockbit, .play payloads |
| Ransom Note | securutrop_readme.txt containing TOR contact and Victim ID |
| Log Deletion Commands | wevtutil, vssadmin delete shadows /all /quiet |
| Network Tools | SoftPerfect Network Scanner, Advanced IP Scanner, Rclone, WinSCP |
| Exfiltration Services | StealBit, MEGA, FreeFileSync |
