BKC Ransomware

The BKC Ransomware is part of the GlobeImposter 2.0 Ransomware family – a file-locker whose authors plagiarized the design features seen in the infamous Globe Ransomware. However, their encryption method turned out to be more successful, and the GlobeImposter 2.0 Ransomware is still impossible to decrypt for free. If you are a victim of the BKC Ransomware’s attack, then we suggest that you think whether it is worth to pay the ransom fee the attackers demand carefully. They might want to receive hundreds of dollars in exchange for their decryption services, and you may not get any proof that you will get what you were promised.

The operators of the BKC Ransomware may opt to use various propagation methods to reach potential targets – torrents, pirated media and software, or the classic fraudulent email messages that rely on social engineering schemes to get users to download a bogus attachment. We advise you to be careful about the files you download from the Internet, especially if their source is unknown. Naturally, the best line of protection is to utilize the services of a sophisticated anti-virus tool that can stop threats like this one before they are able to cause any damage.

Users who fail to stop the BKC Ransomware’s attack may end up losing a major portion of their files due to this ransomware’s ability to encrypt a long list of file formats. The files locked by the BKC Ransomware can be recognized thanks to the ‘.[blellockr@godzym.me].bkc’ extension that the file-locker will add to their names. Of course, the user also is supplied with a ransom note that tells them to contact the attackers by using the email blellockr@godzym.me – they also might be told that the recovery of their files will be completed as soon as they send some Bitcoin to the attackers.

You cannot expect honesty from cybercriminals, so we assure you that sending Bitcoin to the anonymous attackers could turn out to be a dire mistake. The best way to deal with the attack of the BKC Ransomware is to ignore the demands of the attackers and take the situation in your own hands by using a reputable anti-malware software suite to eliminate the harmful program. After this is done, you should proceed to recover your files. The bad news is that the only surefire way to undo all the damage done by the BKC Ransomware is to be able to restore your files from a recent backup. If this option does not apply to you, then you should attempt alternative data recovery methods, but do keep in mind that they may not always work flawlessly.
