What is Biger@x-mail.pro Ransomware?
Biger@x-mail.pro Ransomware is the infection that is responsible for making your files unreadable and for changing their names. While the actual names of the corrupted files are not changed, the infection adds a unique prefix and an extension. Due to this, a file named “document.doc” might look something like this: “email-biger@x-mail.pro.ver-CL 1.5.1.0.id-[numbers].fname-document.doc.doubleoffset.” Without a doubt, that is the kind of a filename that you are bound to notice. Although this prefix and extension combination might seem completely random, in fact, it includes a unique email address that belongs to cyber attackers. Also, it includes a unique ID that is presented to every victim. While you can remove the prefix/extension, you do not need to do that because that will not restore your files. In fact, we cannot provide you with a tool or a key that would decrypt your files. Even though the attackers behind the threat might promise you a decryptor, they are likely to be scamming you. We discuss that, as well as how to delete Biger@x-mail.pro Ransomware, in this report.
How does Biger@x-mail.pro Ransomware work?
You are likely to let Biger@x-mail.pro Ransomware in via emails. While most people know how spam emails look, and they are able to recognize scams, less experienced users might be tricked into opening malicious email attachments or links that, in fact, conceal malware. This is how Cryakl Ransomware should spread as well. Why are we mentioning this threat? That is because they appear to be identical threats. Quite possibly, they were created by the same malicious party. When this malware invades the operating system, it starts the file encryption process right away. It is done silently, and so you are unlikely to notice it. After the attack is complete, the affected personal files’ names are changed, and a window by Biger@x-mail.pro Ransomware is launched. The title of this window is “Pay for decrypt,” and so it is pretty clear what the attackers want. That being said, the message found within the window does not mention a ransom at all. It simply states that if you want to decrypt encrypted files, you need to email biger@x-mail.pro.
The same exact request is also made using a file named “README.txt.” Copies of this text file should be created everywhere where encrypted files exist. So, the creators of Biger@x-mail.pro Ransomware are insisting that you email them. Should you go for it? You might think that sending cyber criminals a simple message is a harmless action. Well, it is harmless only if you use a new email address because you do not want them flooding your real inbox with spam email in the future. Also, it is important what you do with the messages you receive. According to our research, the creator of the infection should ask you to pay a ransom in return for a decryptor. Unfortunately, no one can guarantee that you would get what you pay for. Also, our researchers are quite familiar with different ransomware infections, and if you think that their creators often help their victims, you are very wrong. In most cases, they simply collect the money and disappear. We are sure that you do not want to be fooled, and that is why we suggest that you do not interact with the attackers at all. We suggest focusing on the removal instead.
