Blue Locker ransomware aims to encrypt all stored files, thereby blocking access to them.
The group has focused its attacks on Databases, Servers, Storages and any other devices that contain a large amount of stored data.
The group mainly uses spam e-mail campaigns, these e-mails contain attached files that appear to be normal, such as PDF, Word, Excel, etc. After the file is downloaded, encryption starts.
All affected files are given the extension .blue, files with this extension can no longer be opened, they can only be restored with the decryption key that is kept by the criminals.
This key is only given to the victim after the payment of a ransom, which can reach astronomical amounts, depending on the victim and the amount of data affected. A ransom note is left with the means for the victim to contact the criminals and make the ransom payment.
Payment is usually made in cryptocurrencies and must be made within the time determined by the criminal, at the risk of the decryption key being permanently erased. But beware, criminals give no guarantees that the key will, in fact, be released after payment.
It is neither safe nor recommended to pay the ransom, there are alternatives, such as encrypted data recovery by Digital Recovery.
