What is Bhgr ransomware?

Bhgr is a malware program in the STOP/Djvu ransomware family. For simplicity’s sake, we will call it a virus, though not all malicious programs are actually viruses. Ransomware programs are a subcategory of malware that makes money by encrypting all files on infected computers and demanding payment for their decryption. This is what Bhgr virus does. After encrypting the files and giving them .bhgr file extension, it creates a ransom note to communicate its demands to the victim. In this file, which is called “_readme.txt” by the way, the hackers say that they want 980 United States dollars. To pressure hesitant victims into paying, they also mention that the price is 50% lower for the first three days (so, $490). This “generous discount” does not make their offer any more attractive, but, unfortunately, some desperate person may fall for it. Don’t be one of these people. Even the discounted price is still very high, and it’s also worth mentioning that not all hackers bother to decrypt the files even after receiving their payment. But paying the hackers is not the only way to remove Bhgr ransomware and decrypt .bhgr files. There are other options available to you as well; learn more by reading the guide below.
