What is Wxr?
Wxr is a variant of the Dharma/CrySiS ransomware family, which has been active since 2016. Wxr uses AES-256 encryption and appends the .wxr extension to encrypted files. The Dharma family is known for targeting businesses through exposed RDP ports with brute-force attacks, a common vulnerability in Indian corporate networks where RDP is often left open with weak passwords.
Wxr gains initial access through brute-force attacks on exposed RDP ports, phishing emails with malicious attachments, and exploited vulnerabilities in VPN gateways. Once inside, it disables Windows Defender, deletes shadow copies with vssadmin, and encrypts files across the network. In Indian businesses using Tally, Busy Accounting, or Marg ERP, this creates both operational disruption and DPDP Act compliance obligations if personal data was compromised.
In our lab, we analyze Wxr's AES-256 cryptographic implementation at the binary level. The Dharma family has specific weaknesses in its key derivation routine that allow us to extract offline decryption keys. We have successfully restored Tally .tsf databases, SQL Server instances, and corporate files encrypted by Wxr across Indian enterprises in Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.

Essential Do's and Don'ts for Ransomware Data Recovery
Follow these steps to preserve encrypted evidence for CERT-In reporting and maximize your recovery chances.
Do
- Disconnect the infected device from the network immediately
- Contact a professional data recovery service right away
- Document everything, take photos of ransom notes and error messages
- Keep the infected drive powered off until professionals examine it
- Report the attack to CERT-In (cert-in.org.in) within 6 hours as required under India's IT Act
Don't
- Don't pay the ransom, it funds criminals and doesn't guarantee recovery
- Don't reboot or restart the infected computer
- Don't try to decrypt files with random tools from the internet
- Don't connect USB drives or external storage to the infected machine
- Don't delete the encrypted files, they can still be recovered
