Remove Chichi Ransomware

The Chichi Ransomware is a dangerous file-locker that may cause massive issues if it infects your device. The malware is able to lock you out of your files, and then extort you for money. The criminals will mark the names of the locked files with the suffix '.chichi.' In addition to this, it drops a ransom note extorting you for money – 'Guide to Recover Your Files.txt.'

The Chichi Ransomware may arrive to your device through a pirated game or application. However, its creators are like to explore other malware propagation channels too – email spam, fake downloads, etc. We advise you to stay away from non-trustworthy sites and downloads. Of course, you should also enhance your computer's security with the use of an up-to-date anti-malware scanner.

According to the ransom message, the criminals use several emails to stay in touch with their victims - semenov.akkim@protonmail.com, chichihao@protonmail.com, velbms@rediffmail.com, sonuamit555@rediffmail.com, or smenov@bitmessage.de. Typically, ransomware creators ask for a few hundred or thousand dollars, but the authors of the Chichi Ransomware have higher demands. According to their message, victims have to pay $300,000 via Bitcoin to get their files back. It goes without saying that you should not accept this offer. Use an up-to-date anti-malware tool to dispose of the threat, and then try to recover your data via the best data restoration tools available.
