File type category:
Ransomware encrypted file
Date updated: October 6, 2026
The .czvxce file extension is associated with Coverton ransomware. The malware encrypts users' files and renames them with the .czvxce suffix.
Coverton ransomware demands payment in Bitcoin in exchange for the possibility of recovering the encrypted data. Payment does not guarantee recovery; Coverton has been reported to leave files encrypted even after the ransom is paid.
A .czvxce file cannot be opened normally because its contents are encrypted. It requires a compatible decryption utility, if one becomes available, or recovery from an unaffected backup.
Paying the ransom is not a reliable way to recover the file, since the data may remain encrypted after payment.
A .czvxce file cannot be converted to another format while it remains encrypted. Recovery requires a compatible decryption utility or an unaffected backup of the original file.
