What is RansomBoggs ransomware?
RansomBoggs ransomware is a malicious program designed to encrypt the files and demand money for decryption. This type of viruses is called ransomware as it quite literally makes money by demanding ransom. RansomBoggs has several other names; you may know it as Sullivan ransomware or Chsch ransomware.
After encrypting the files, RansomBoggs renames them – adding .chsch file extension – and creates a note detailing the demands, a ransom note if you will. This note, called “SullivanDecryptsYourFiles.txt”, can be read on the image above.
Evidently, the hacker behind RansomBoggs was feeling humorous when creating it, as the note references Monsters Incorporated, a cartoon movie released in 2001. Indeed, Sullivan is one of the characters in it. Frustratingly, the hacker doesn’t offer much in terms of actual information, such as his monetary demands. The victim is merely instructed not to delete a certain file and contact the hacker using one of the three methods provided.
You should note, however, that messaging the criminal might have consequences, for example future attacks. With that in mind, you may want to consider other ways to remove RansomBoggs ransomware and decrypt .chsch files. A few of these ways are described in the guide below.
