What is Bisquilla Ransomware?
There is a new player in town, and it is called Bisquilla Ransomware. At this point, the infection is still in development stages, but, according to our Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers, we could see new versions emerging in the near future. This first version does not create any demands, and it does not encrypt files like most ransomware infections, but it has the function to encrypt them and add the “.wrk” extension to their original names. Obviously, if you have found this extension attached to your personal files, you have to consider the possibility that you need to eliminate a malicious threat from your operating system. However, we hope that you are reading this report before the attacks of this malware begin, so that you could secure your operating system and personal files against it. Obviously, if new versions emerge, we will be updating our readers as soon as possible so that they could delete Bisquilla Ransomware, but, for now, we only have limited information, and the focus of this report is virtual security.
How does Bisquilla Ransomware work?
Are you familiar with ransomware? New ransomware infections emerge basically every day, and some of them include Blitzkrieg Ransomware, help@decrypt-files.info Ransomware, GetCrypt Ransomware, and Delphi Ransomware. These threats are file-encryptors, and it looks like Bisquilla Ransomware should be one too. Although the tested sample did not encrypt files, the infection’s code revealed that it should be able to encrypt 44 different types of files, including photos (.jpg, .gif), documents (.doc, .pdf, .txt), and media files (.mp3, .mp4, .avi). Once files are encrypted by ransomware, it is usually impossible to decrypt them manually, unless the decryption key is made public. Our research team has analyzed hundreds of file-encryptors, and we can tell you that decryption is almost never possible. On rare occasions, malware experts are able to build free decryptors, but that does not happen often either. After encryption, Bisquilla Ransomware should open a window with a message. Most likely, this message would demand a ransom payment, but we cannot confirm that at this point. All in all, if your files are encrypted, and the threat demands money, we do not recommend giving in. Instead, focus on removal.
It was found that the malicious code of Bisquilla Ransomware matches the code of Jigsaw Ransomware, a well-known infection that encrypts files and that can demand a ransom as big as $500 (or even more). This malware spreads using malicious attachments sent via email, and this is one of the methods that the devious Bisquilla Ransomware could employ as well. It also could be distributed using social media scams or by other active threats. This is one of the reasons why you should scan your operating system. If other threats exist, they must be deleted as soon as possible; otherwise, they could keep dropping infections or causing other problems. Although we do not have a lot of information about the threat and its distribution yet, we are sure that it will use deception, disguises, and stealth to slither in. Recognizing such malware can be difficult even if you are more experienced, and that is why we have to talk Windows security as well. Is your system secured? If it is not, thousands of different kinds of threats could try to attack it.
How to delete Bisquilla Ransomware
Even though we are talking about the protection against Bisquilla Ransomware at this point, you might be reading this report after being hit by this dangerous malware. In both cases, an anti-malware tool is very important and helpful. It can protect the system against the invasion of threats, and it also can delete threats that are already active on the operating system. Basically, if you need to remove Bisquilla Ransomware, you can use the tool to have it removed automatically, and then you can use it for the protection of your Windows operating system. And if you install it before malware attacks, you can minimize the chances of successful attacks significantly. You also want to take care of your personal files, which we recommend backing up on external drives or using cloud storage services. If you have backup copies outside the system, even if the original files get encrypted, deleted, or lost, you will not suffer a complete loss.
Removal Instructions
