Qu'est-ce qu'un fichier GDCB ?
A GDCB file is a file encrypted by the GandCrab virus, a trojan horse utilized by cybercriminals. It contains a user's file, such as a .PDF or .WMV file, encrypted with the Salsa20 algorithm. GDCB files became prevalent in January 2018.
Plus d'informations
The GandCrab virus is ransomware, where the purpose of the virus is to take your computer files hostage and force you to pay the perpetrator (typically via DASH currency) to unlock your files. The GandCrab V4 virus scrambles, renames, and encrypts the user's files. It then generates a .TXT ransom note (GDCB-DECRYPT.txt) informing you of the file encryption and what you need to do to recover your files.

Avertissement
FileInfo.com recommends you never pay a ransom to decrypt files encrypted by ransomware. Paying a ransom encourages ransomware distributors to continue their efforts, and there is no guarantee that paying a ransom will give you access to your files. Instead, you should restore your data from a recent backup created before the ransomware infected your computer.
