[backdata@qq.com].qbix Ransomware
The [backdata@qq.com].qbix Ransomware is another member of the Dharma Ransomware family, The [backdata@qq.com].qbix Ransomware is a Trojan that infects a computer to try to extort a ransom from its victims. To justify the ransom demand, the [backdata@qq.com].qbix ransomware changes the victims' files by affixing the '[Backdata@qq.com].QBIX' to their names so that the changed files will no be recognized by the victims' software and become unreadable. As soon as the [backdata@qq.com].qbix Ransomware finishes the files encryption, it will create a text file named FILES ENCRYPTED. Txt, which contains a ransom note explaining to the victims what happened to their files, providing two email addresses, Backdata@qq.com, and dta@cock.li so that the victim can contact them and informing that the price will depend on 'how fast you write to us.' To make the victims believe that paying the ransom they will have their data back, the criminals offer to decrypt one file for free and also provide a website address where the victims can buy Bitcoins, which is the currency that should be used to make the payment. The content of the [backdata@qq.com].qbix Ransomware's ransom note reads:
'All your files have been encrypted!
All your files have been encrypted due to a security problem with your PC. If you want to restore them, write us to the e-mail Backdata@qq.com
