Bluesky Ransomware
The Bluesky Ransomware is a potent threat that can harm the systems it manages to infect. The Bluesky Ransomware is capable of encrypting numerous file types, which will make them to become unusable. Documents, PDFs, archives, databases and more can be compromised by the Bluesky Ransomware encryption.
To mark the files it locks, the Bluesky Ransomware appends the file extension '.bluesky' to their original names. When the Bluesky Ransomware finishes its encryption task, it will proceed to display two ransom notes containing instructions for the victims. The ransom notes will be found inside files named '#DECRYPT FILES BLUESKY#.html' and '#DECRYPT FILES BLUESKY#.txt.'
A Quick Glance at the Ransom Note
According to the ransom note, users affected by Bluesky Ransomware will have to pay a ransom of 0.1 BTC, if the payment is made within the first 6 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 56 seconds after the attack. After this period, the victims will need to pay 0.2 BTC; after 13 days, the decryption key will be destroyed. The sum must be transferred to the provided crypto-wallet address and the victims are allowed to send one file to be decrypted for free. The attackers' promise is to send the decryption tool that unlocks the files as soon as they get the ransom.
However, interacting with cybercriminals is never a recommended action. By doing it, the victims may expose themselves to more risks, besides getting no guarantees that they will receive the decryption tool.
