Blitzkrieg Ransomware

Encountering the Blitzkrieg Ransomware is likely to lead to an unfortunate outcome for your files – this threatening file-locker is able to corrupt the files found on the compromised computer swiftly, therefore rendering their contents inaccessible. This is the common strategy that file-encryption Trojans employ and, sadly, it often works out in their favor because most users do not keep reserve copies of their important data. In the case of the Blitzkrieg Ransomware, the only way to restore the locked files is to restore them from a recent backup. The attackers claim to possess a decryptor that is able to reverse the damage, but there is no way you can be certain that they will provide you with this tool if you fulfill their requests.

Threats like the Blitzkrieg Ransomware may often be spread with the use of spam email messages that are disguised as legitimate documents that the user might be interested in reviewing. Users who fall for the social engineering tricks the attackers employ might end up losing a huge fraction of their files in a matter of minutes – all files that the Blitzkrieg Ransomware locks will have their extension changed to ‘.bkc,’ making it easy for the victim to recognize the corrupted files.

The ransom note is delivered during the last stage of the attack, and it can be found in the file ‘HowToBackFiles.txt,’ which is usually placed on the victim’s desktop. The ransom message says that the victim can get their files back as soon as they send an unspecified amount of Bitcoin to the attackers and contact them at blitzkriegpc@protonmail.com.

Paying money to cybercriminals is never a good choice, and the case with the Blitzkrieg Ransomware is not an exception. Instead of trying to cooperate with the authors of the ransomware, you should use an anti-virus scanner to dispose of the harmful program. After the Blitzkrieg Ransomware is eliminated, you can resort to using data recovery tools and methods.
