Remove Pcs Ransomware

Ransomware attacks are one of the worst things that could happen to your computer nowadays. The threat actors behind these operations often extort their victims for hundreds of dollars. Unfortunately, victims of ransomware rarely have alternative recovery options. Threats like the Pcs Ransomware use a flawless file-encryption mechanism, which is impossible to crack. They also make sure to wipe out Shadow Volume Copies and System Restore Points, therefore further limiting the victim's recovery options.

Pcs Ransomware, in particular, is a variant of the Dharma Ransomware family. While some of the Dharma variants from 2019 are decryptable, this is not the case with file-lockers released in 2020 and 2021. There is no way to reverse Pcs Ransomware's encryption without receiving help from the authors of the malware. Another Dharma variant to come out in recent months is the Nmc Ransomware.

However, Pcs Ransomware's creators are not willing to help out for free. Their attack usually delivers a set of ransom notes, which go by the names 'info.hta' and 'info.txt.' Their contents reveal the plans of the criminals. They sell a decryption service, which victims can buy in exchange for Bitcoin. However, the sum of the ransom fee is not specified – victims are told to contact pcstuntman@onionmail.org or bad.dev@onionmail.org for more details.

Decrypting files is not possible via free tools. However, contacting the criminals and trying to get help from them is also a bad idea. They want to receive money via Bitcoin, which would make the transaction irreversible. Ransomware operators may sometimes ignore the message of people who pay, or they may even try to extort more money out of them. Instead of trusting the attackers, you should use an antivirus tool to terminate the threat. After this, try out other data recovery tools and options. Keep in mind that the only guaranteed way to undo the damage that Pcs Ransomware causes is to restore your files from a backup.
