What is help@badfail.info Ransomware?
help@badfail.info Ransomware is a malicious application that has locked files on your computer if they have all received the V.0.0.0.1{help@badfail.info}.paradise filename extension. We consider this threat dangerous malicious software because it mercilessly encrypts almost all files it manages to find on the affected computer. Luckily, it does not encrypt any system files, so your Windows operating system will not be ruined. It does not lock users’ personal files just for fun. Instead, it seems that it also tries to obtain money from users like similar infections categorized as ransomware: “You have to pay for decryption in Bitcoins. The price depends on how fast you write to us.” We have to admit that there might be no other ways to get files back if files have already been locked by ransomware because they use strong ciphers to encrypt data, but it does not mean that you should send money to malicious software developers. There are no guarantees that you will get the decryption tool from them, so you should not transfer a cent. It does not mean that there are no ways to unlock files. Continue reading to find more.
What does help@badfail.info Ransomware do?
All ransomware infections are similar to each other. The main thing that unities them all is that they are all developed to obtain something from users, usually their money. This is the reason help@badfail.info Ransomware encrypts users’ personal files once it slithers onto their computers too. You will find all your files, including all your images, documents, and music completely encrypted. As mentioned in the first paragraph, V.0.0.0.1{help@badfail.info}.paradise is appended next to original extensions files contain, for example, picture.jpg turns into picture.jpg.V.0.0.0.1{help@badfail.info}.paradise. You will also find a .txt file containing instructions dropped on your computer. Last but not least, help@badfail.info Ransomware will open the window containing your personal ID and some information about the decryption of files. Cyber criminals promise to decrypt some files for free as a proof that they have the special decryptor that can unlock files. You can send 1-3 files for the free decryption, but you should not pay a ransom for the decryption of the rest of your data no matter how badly you need it. The price of the decryption is unknown, but we are sure you will get more information if you contact cyber criminals by email (help@badfail.info or help@badfail.info).
