How to delete Bgjs ransomware

Bgjs ransomware is malware that encrypts files. It’s part of the Djvu/STOP ransomware family. The cybercriminals operating this malware family release new versions regularly. Ransomware versions from this family are considered to be very dangerous because it’s not always possible to decrypt and recover files.

 

 

Initiating the ransomware is very easy because you only need to open the infected file. The ransomware begins encrypting files as soon as it’s initiated. Unfortunately, it targets all personal files, including photos, videos, and documents. All encrypted files will have a .bgjs file extension added to them. For example, an encrypted 1.txt file would become 1.txt.bgjs. You will not be able to open these files unless they are first decrypted with a special tool.

Bgjs ransomware drops a _readme.txt ransom note once it’s done with file encryption. The note is very generic but it does contain information about how to get a decryptor. According to the note, users can buy the decryptor for $999. There’s supposedly a 50% discount for victims who make contact within the first 72 hours. The malware operators also promise to decrypt one file for free if it does not contain important information. However, we strongly discourage paying the ransom or even contacting the cybercriminals. Whether you will receive a Bgjs ransomware decryptor after paying is a gamble because there is nothing to force cybercriminals to keep their end of the deal. Furthermore, the money victims pay goes toward future criminal activities.

If users do not have a backup, waiting for a free Bgjs ransomware decryptor to be released is the only option. If it does get released, it will be downloadable from NoMoreRansom. If you cannot find it on NoMoreRansom, you will not find it anywhere else. We should also mention that there are many fake decryptors advertised on various forums, and trying to use them could lead to an infection.

If you have a backup, you can start file recovery as soon as you remove Bgjs ransomware from the computer. We strongly recommend using an anti-malware program to delete Bgjs ransomware because it’s a complex infection. If you attempt manual Bgjs ransomware removal, you could end up causing more damage. When the ransomware is no longer detected by the anti-malware program, you can connect to your backup and begin recovering files.

How is ransomware distributed?

Bgjs ransomware, like most malware, is distributed via email attachments, torrents, and malicious links/ads. If you have poor browsing habits, you’re much more likely to pick up an infection because you’re more likely to engage in risky behavior. That includes opening unsolicited email attachments without double-checking them first and using torrents to pirate copyrighted content. Developing better online habits is a great way to avoid malware.

Torrents are a great way to spread malware because many users do not know what a malicious torrent looks like. Furthermore, torrent sites are often poorly moderated, which allows malicious actors to upload torrents with malware. Torrents for popular entertainment content (e.g. movies, TV series, and video games) are particularly likely to have malware in them. If you use torrents to pirate, keep in mind that you’re not only stealing content but are also putting your computer/data in danger.

Emails are also often used for malware distribution. The emails can disguised as parcel delivery notifications and order confirmations. Senders pressure users to open the attached files by claiming they’re important documents that need to be urgently reviewed. When users open the attachments, they initiate the malware. Fortunately, as long as users know what to look for, they should be able to recognize malicious emails. The biggest giveaway is usually grammar/spelling mistakes. When senders claim to be from legitimate companies, the mistakes are very glaring. You will not find mistakes in legitimate emails from companies because they would look unprofessional.

Another sign that an email could be malicious is generic words like User, Member, Customer, etc., used to address users. When companies email their customers, they always address them by name to make the email seem more personal. However, malicious senders use generic words because they target many users with the same email.

Some malicious emails may be more sophisticated, especially when they target a specific person. To avoid infections, it’s strongly recommended to scan all unsolicited email attachments with anti-virus software or VirusTotal before opening them.

Bgjs ransomware removal

Bgjs ransomware is a very complex infection that requires a professional program to get rid of. Thus, you should use an anti-malware program to remove Bgjs ransomware from your computer. If you try to delete Bgjs ransomware manually, you could end up causing additional damage to your computer. It should also be mentioned that if you have a backup, you should not access it until the ransomware has been fully removed. If the ransomware is still present when you do, your backed-up files will be encrypted as well.

If you do not have a backup, your options are very limited. You can back up the encrypted files and wait for a free Bgjs ransomware decryptor to be released. However, when or even if that will happen is not certain. Djvu/STOP ransomware versions are notoriously difficult to crack, which is why a free Bgjs ransomware decryptor is not very likely. Nonetheless, back up the files and occasionally check NoMoreRansom for a free Bgjs ransomware decryptor.
