Bbwc Malware
Bbwc is a ransomware variant that belongs to the STOP/Djvu family. The infamous family template has been used by threat actors to create hundreds of different variants and has been very damaging among computer users and networks worldwide for a long time already. Once active on the infected computer, the Bbwc Ransomware will encipher numerous, crucial victim files. Also, the threat will add the '.Bbwc' extension to their filenames. Its ransom note will be dropped as a text file named '_readme. txt' and will contain instructions on how to recover the data and how to contact them.
Another negative aspect of a Bbwc Ransomware infection is that the STOP/Djvu developers often deliver threats like RedLine or Vidar so that besides the ransom, they also can collect information.
What are the Demands of the Bbwc Ransomware
The people handling the Bbwc Ransomware ask to be paid $980 as a ransom. After being paid, they promise to send the decryption software, which is the only way to restore the damaged data. However, if the victims contact them within the first 72 hours, they will reduce the price by 50%t and the ransom will be $490.
They provide 2 email addresses to be contacted. The first one is -support@sysmail.ch' and the second on helprestoremanager@airmail.cc should be used in case the first one fails. They claim that the victims can send one file to be unlocked for free and that the personal ID generated for the infected system should be part of the message.
The Dangers Of a Ransomware Attack
Ransomware attacks can cause a lot of damage, no matter if the victim is an individual or a business. Individual users can lose crucial files and personal data. Even if the victims are able to regain access to their system after paying the ransom, there is still a risk of any collected information being used for identity theft or financial fraud. If the victim is a business, the attack can cause data breaches and financial losses due to ransom payments. It is why any business should have robust security measures in place to avoid being infected with ransomware threats and backups of their data. These simple measures can avoid complicated problems.
