Badday Ransomware

Badday Ransomware is one of the many ransomware infections that we have to deal with almost every day. Although there is nothing terribly unique about this program, we still need to inform you about the infection because it is there to rip you off. Thankfully, Badday Ransomware cannot steal your money unless you give it away willingly. Therefore, do not even think of paying anything to these criminals. Remove Badday Ransomware from your computer today, and then invest in a licensed security application that will help you protect your system from similar threats. Your computer’s security is in your hands.

This program comes from a big ransomware family, called the GLOBE Ransomware. As such, Badday Ransomware is closely related to Pig4444 Ransomware, KBK Ransomware, DDT Ransomware, FORMA Ransomware, and many others. What can we do with that information? It means that we more or less know what to expect from Badday Ransomware.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that we can easily decrypt files that were locked up by this program. Unfortunately, even if ransomware apps come from the same source, they tend to use unique encryption keys, and so one decryption tool works only on one ransomware infection. As it is, backing your files up remains the best way to fight ransomware infections.

Backing up means saving your files on an external hard drive or a virtual cloud drive. It should be quite a common practice because we can never know when something might happen, and we could lose our files. However, hardware and software have been a lot more reliable than ten or fifteen years ago, so users often forgo backing up their files, saying it’s too time and space consuming. They also think that things like ransomware infections will not reach them, and that’s a fatal mistake. Everyone can be affected by a ransomware infection, especially when we consider how they spread.

The most common ransomware distribution method is spam emails. Spam emails come with attached files that install ransomware on the target systems. Of course, users need to download and open these attached files for ransomware programs to enter their computers. So why would anyone download these dangerous files willingly? That’s because users aren’t aware of the dangers behind these files and these emails. Spam emails that spread Badday Ransomware and other similar infections often look like notifications from online stores and even financial institutions. They trick users into opening important “documents” and, thus, installing Badday Ransomware (or any other ransomware for that matter) on their computers.

To put it simply, it is possible to avoid ransomware infections if we are more careful about the files we download and open. Sure, sometimes, it is hard to tell whether the files we encounter are safe or not. For that, we can use antispyware scanners. Before you open a newly-downloaded file, scan it with a security tool, and you will be informed whether the file is safe or not immediately.

Now, if Badday Ransomware enters your computer, this program will definitely encrypt all the important documents and picture files. Every single folder that contains encrypted files will also get a ransom document. The ransom note says that you need to purchase a decryptor for 12 BTC. That is approximately 100,000 USD, and it is clear that these criminals want to rip you off. Computer security specialists maintain that paying the ransom doesn’t solve anything because you only encourage these criminals to create more ransomware programs.

Naturally, if you have copies of your files saved someplace else, you can simply remove Badday Ransomware along with the encrypted files, and then transfer healthy copies back into your PC. However, if you need more help with file recovery, you might want to address a professional technician. Usually, there are certain things you can do to restore at least some of your files.

Finally, invest in your computer security by purchasing a powerful antispyware tool that will help you protect your system from harm. You also need to educate yourself about ransomware distribution tactics because if you allow similar programs to enter your system again, even the most state-of-the-art security tool will not protect your files. Therefore, be more responsible about what you do online.
