Btnw Ransomware
Computer users that got infected with a ransomware threat named Btnw Ransomware will find themselves in a really complicated situation. The Btnw Ransomware is one more variant from the STOP/Djvu Ransomware family and, as such, reverting the damage caused by its actions will be almost impossible. The developers of the STOP/Djvu Ransomware family use the most sophisticated encryption methods available to transform the files on a computer useless, which is its main goal because it can be used to force its victims to pay the asked ransom.
The Btnw Ransomware follows its family members' pattern and asks for $980 as a ransom payment. However, victims that contact the criminals in the first 72 hours after the attack can obtain a 50% discount and pay instead $490. They also allow the victims to send a small file to be decrypted for free. The email addresses that can be used to contact these people are restorealldata@firemail.cc and gorentos@bitmessage.ch. They also provide their Telegramm account address - @datarestore, which also can be used to contact them.
A ransomware attack is easily recognizable because usually the damaged files' names will be changed because the threat adds a file extension to them, in this case, '.btnw' and, from there on, they will not be reachable by their owners. However, paying a ransom to recover the lost data is not a recommended solution because nothing can assure the victims that the criminals will send the necessary tools to restore the data.
The ransom message presented by the Btnw Ransomware to its victims reads:
