What is Bhui ransomware?
Bhui is a computer virus that belongs to the STOP/Djvu ransomware family. These viruses encrypt data on your computer and insist on payment for decryption. There are many STOP/Djvu viruses – Ahgr and Ahtw are two recent examples – and they’re all very similar to each other. But it’s still very easy to identify Bhui ransomware; when it encrypts the files, it gives them .bhui file extension. Ransomware viruses infect many computers, but only people who lose valuable data ever consider paying. Unfortunately, the hackers know this too, so the ransom amount is always fairly high. The ransom note for this virus, “_readme.txt”, states that the criminals expect a payment of 980 US dollars – not exactly pocket change even for people who live in 1st world countries. So, for most people, paying the ransom is not a realistic option. In fact, even people who can afford it should think twice; the majority of hackers simply take the money and don’t decrypt anything at all. For these reasons, many people are looking into alternative ways to remove Bhui ransomware and decrypt .bhui files. Our guide will teach you several such methods, so keep reading.
