BTCamant Ransomware Data Recovery

What you need to know about BTCamant Ransomware

In recent years, ransomware has become one of the most prevalent and damaging types of malware. BTCamant is a particularly nasty form of ransomware that can encrypt your files and demand a ransom for their return. In this article, we’ll explain what BTCamant is, how it works, protection against BTCamant and what you can do if you’re infected.

BTCamant Ransomware is file-encrypting ransomware that was first seen in the wild in March 2019. BTCamant ransomware is written in Go and uses the AES-256 encryption algorithm to encrypt files on the victim’s computer.

Someone distributes BTCamant ransomware through malicious email attachments and exploit kits. Once installed, BTCamant will scan the victim’s computer for specific file types. BTCamant ransomware adds the “.locked” extension to encrypted files. BTCamant will then display a ransom note that demands payment of 0.03 BTC (US$250) to decrypt the files.

BTCamant ransomware is part of a larger campaign that also includes the BTCPay Ransomware and BTCWare Ransomware. BTCamant ransomware is difficult to remove and there is currently no way to decrypt files encrypted by BTCamant for free.

Summary: there is no public decryption tool available for BTCamant ransomware.

If it infected you with BTCamant ransomware, we recommend that you do not pay the ransom. Because there is no guaranteed way to get your files back even if you do pay the ransom.

Instead, focus on removing BTCamant from your computer and then restoring your files from a backup. If you do not have a backup, you may be able to use file recovery software to recover some of your files. However, we cannot guarantee that this will work and it may take a long time to find files that can be recovered.

Please note that BTCamant ransomware is just one of many file-encrypting ransomware variants that are currently active. BTCamant ransomware is just one type of malware that can encrypt your files.

To protect your computer from BTCamant ransomware and other file-encrypting ransomware, we recommend that you use a reputable anti-malware program and keep regular backups of your important files.
