Contact email: cryptbit2.0@protonmail.com BTC wallet: [REDACTED] Have a nice day CryptBIT 2.0 ransomware group This is the end of the note. Below is a guide explaining how to remove CryptBIT 2.0 ransomware.

What is CryptBIT 2.0 ransomware?

As the name suggests, CryptBIT 2.0 is the second version of CryptBIT ransomware. The virus has changed somewhat since the first version, but the core behavior is obviously the same; it encrypts the files and demands payment in exchange for decrypting them. It renames the affected files, giving them .cryptbit file extension, the same as in the first version.
Since these two versions share the same encrypted file extension, the best way to distinguish between them is the ransom note. In this new version, it is called “CryptBIT2.0-restore-files.txt”. A copy of this note gets placed in every folder on the infected computer. You can read the full text of this note on the image above, should you need reference.
To summarize, the note doesn’t name a price; the victim is instructed to contact the hacker to get a quote. That is because CryptBIT 2.0 explicitly targets companies. The note also threatens those who choose not to comply with these demands, but the threats are inconsistent. The first threat mentions that the files will be made public, but the second says they will be deleted.
Whether to pay the hackers or not is each victim’s decision. That said, paying is risky; it is quite common for these criminals to not give the files back. For alternative ways to remove CryptBIT 2.0 ransomware and decrypt .cryptbit files, read the guide below.

How to remove Tcvp ransomware

What is Tcvp ransomware?

Tcvp is a malicious program that belongs to STOP/Djvu family of ransomware. Since it is exceptionally similar to other STOP/Djvu viruses, the easiest way to distinguish it is by its name. Being a ransomware program, Tcvp encrypts the victim’s files so that it can demand ransom later; but it also renames them. The affected files are given .tcvp file extension. This extension is the origin of the program’s name and the easiest way to identify it.
Tcvp also leaves a ransom note to inform the victim of its demands. This note, called “_readme.txt” can be found on the Desktop of the infected computer. The image above contains the full text of the note for reference purposes.
All STOP/Djvu viruses demand the same amount of money, specifically, $980. The viruses also offer a 50% discount for these who message the hackers quickly.
As you can see, not much effort gets put into any individual STOP/Djvu virus. They have the same demands, the same ransom notes even. They are all based on the same template. Ransomware hackers often ignore their victims after receiving payment, and don’t bother to decrypt the files at all, and the nature of STOP/Djvu viruses makes it even more likely.
The guide below presents an alternative; a way to remove Tcvp ransomware and decrypt .tcvp files without contacting the criminals.

How to remove Canadian ransomware

Canadian ransom note: Your Files Are Encrypted. To Decrypt Them, Please Send An Email To rebcoana@gmail.com. The Ransom Demand Is Only 50 Canadian Dollars So You Should Be Able To Pay It, Except If You Are Poor :) You Thought All Canadians Were Nice? Think About It For A Second. This is the end of the note. Below you will find a guide explaining how to remove Canadian ransomware.

What is Canadian ransomware?

Canadian ransomware is a new ransomware program, which means it’s a program that was made to encrypt files so that the hackers could demand money for their decryption. These demands need to be communicated to the victim somehow. This is why Canadian ransomware, as well as most other ransomware programs, creates a ransom note after encrypting the files.
The note, “DECRYPT YOUR FILES.txt”, is displayed on the image above. As you can see it is very short and straight to the point. The hacker wants to be contacted via e-mail, and demands 50 Canadian dollars (approximately 38 US dollars) for the decryption.
Canadian ransomware also renames the files after encrypting them, adding .canadian file extension. For example, “moose.jpg” would be renamed to “moose.jpg.canadian”.
Although the virus doesn’t ask for much money, contacting the hacker might still present a risk. Demonstrating that you’re willing to pay might make you a target for a future attack, for one. It’s also possible that the hacker would refuse to decrypt your files to avoid wasting time on someone who has already paid.
This is why you should familiarize yourself with other ways to remove Canadian ransomware and decrypt .canadian files. You may do so by reading the guide below.

Use if support is not responding This is the end of the note. Below you will find a guide explaining how to remove Yguekcbe ransomware.

What is Yguekcbe ransomware?

Yguekcbe ransomware is a malware program (a virus) that is designed to make money in a very specific way. First, it encrypts all files on the target computer using a cryptographic algorithm. This process renders the files inaccessible, but it is reversible. The virus then offers to do just that, to decrypt the files; that, however, would cost victim money. These viruses are called ransomware because this process essentially holds the files for ransom.
When Yguekcbe encrypts files, it also changes their names, adding .yguekcbe file extension. In fact, this is how the virus got its name. It also leaves a ransom note, “HOW TO RESTORE YOUR FILES.TXT”, on the Desktop. The image above contains the full text of the note, but we will also summarize it in the next paragraph.
The note indicates that Yguekcbe virus is designed to target companies, though of course, private individuals may also fall victim to it by accident. The hackers do not specify the ransom amount, only their contact information. Presumably this is because they intend to negotiate.
Contacting the hackers is a bad idea; in many cases they just ignore their victims after receiving payment. And if you really are just a citizen whose computer got infected with Yguekcbe by mistake, they likely wouldn’t even talk with you. This is why you should follow our guide, which will describe how to remove Yguekcbe ransomware and decrypt .yguekcbe files without their involvement.

How to remove SEX3 ransomware

SEX3 ransom note: The harddisks of your computer have been encrypted with an military grade encryption algorithm. There is no way to restore your data without a special key. You can purchase this key on the darknet page E-mail: geraashurakovv@mail.ru - this is our mail CODE: 14B4030A8A7F8B8D7B1101720567C27E this is code; you must send BTC: 17CqMQFeuB3NTzJ2X28tfRmWaPyPQgvoHV here need to pay 0,5 bitcoins continue the normal download on your computer. Good luck! May God help you! <!SATANA!> This is the end of the note. Below you will find a guide explaining how to remove SEX3 ransomware.

What is SEX3 ransomware?

SEX3 is a recently discovered ransomware program that belongs to the SATANA ransomware family. It operates in the same way as other ransomware programs: it encrypts all files on the computer and then demands money to decrypt them. In addition to this, SEX3 renames the infected files, giving them .SEX3 file extension. This is the origin of its name. It also changes the wallpaper, and, of course, leaves a ransom note.
The note, named “!satana!.txt”, can be read on the image above. Alternatively, keep reading for the summary.
Written in a somewhat confusing manner, the note was likely written by a non-native English speaker. The hacker is most likely from Russia, as evidenced by their e-mail: geraashurakovv@mail.ru
When it comes to the actual demands, SEX3 is completely unreasonable, expecting the victims to pay 0.5 BTC in ransom. Although cryptocurrency exchange prices always fluctuate, at the date of writing (November 2022) 0.5 BTC is equivalent to 8,300 US dollars.
Few people will consider paying this much for their data, so we’ve compiled a guide focused on alternative ways to remove SEX3 ransomware and decrypt .SEX3 files.
