What is blueKey Ransomware and How To Remove blueKey
The blueKey Ransomware is a file encryption Trojan that was created with a main goal - to encrypt the files on a computer and then extort its user for money. The blueKey Ransomware is programmed to encrypt the contents of videos, images, databases, archives and other crucial files. Once the blueKey Ransomware encrypts a file, it will add the '.blueKey' suffix to its name and deliver the ransom message 'DECRYPTION_INSTRUCTIONS.txt' on the victims' desktop. The ransom note contains a message from the attackers who ask to be contacted via the email address thegodfather83@mailfence.com They also demand a ransom payment of $20 that must be sent to the Bitcoin wallet address 17CqMQFeuB3NTzJ2X28tfRmWaPyPQgvoHV, also found in the ransom note.
Ransomware attacks are very common nowadays, and anyone can get infected by them, no matter if you are an individual user or a company if you do not have the right protection while browsing the Web. Trojans like the blue key Ransomware may spread through corrupted links on email attachments, pirated software and other unchecked files. Although you can reduce your vulnerability to shady online content by being cautious when browsing an unknown site, you also can boost your protection by using reliable anti-virus products.
The blueKey Ransomware attacks a computer very quickly and the only way to stop it is via an anti-malware service. The recovery of the damaged files may not be possible since blueKey Ransomware's encryption is still secure and impossible to crack via free utilities.
Paying the ransom sum is not recommended because you are likely to end up being tricked by blueKey Ransomware's creators. The best thing to do is to use an anti-virus tool to eliminate the threatening software and then try recovering files from a backup or use other data recovery methods and tools.
