Threat Metric
The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:
Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.
Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.
Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.
Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.
% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

The BTCamant Ransomware is a newly discovered piece of crypto-threat that may not be distributed actively yet. However, this does not mean that the BTCamant Ransomware is harmless, and any computer that gets infected with this threat is bound to have a large number of its files encrypted. When the BTCamant Ransomware bypasses a computer's security and manages to load its corrupted modules successfully, it proceeds to scan the local folders and mark the files that are suitable for encryption. Naturally, the BTCamant Ransomware targets a long list of file extensions, but its primary targets are documents, media files, databases, backup files, image files, archives, and other content that is likely to contain important data. Users whose computers have been taken hostage by the BTCamant Ransomware also may find out that their encrypted files have had their extensions changed to '.BTC.'
The BTCamant Ransomware leaves two ransom notes on the victim's machine - BTC_DECRYPT_FILES.txt and BTC_DECRYPT_FILES.html. It also creates a 'wallpaper.wall' file, which is placed in the %appdata% folder and is set as the desktop background automatically. Both ransom notes contain identical information, and they don't include any details about how much money the victim owes, or if they can get any proof that the decryption of their files is possible. It only tells the unlucky users troubled by the BTCamant Ransomware that they need to send a message to sepas@protonmail.com or sepast@protonmail.com if they wish to learn how they can restore their files. Although it is not mentioned in the ransom note, it is almost certain that the authors of the BTCamant Ransomware are after one thing – taking money from their victims. We advise users not to contact the e-mail that the BTCamant Ransomware uses, as well as not to agree to pay any money to con artists, regardless if they are associated with this crypto-threat or similar threats.
Victims of the BTCamant Ransomware should attempt to escape this unpleasant situation by using a reputable anti-virus software suite to fully remove the BTCamant Ransomware from their computers. The bad news is that a free decryptor for this threat is not available, and all files marked with the '.BTC' extension may be unrecoverable for now unless the victim has a backup.
