How to remove Poopy Butt-face Ransomware and decrypt .Poop files

What is Poopy Butt-face Ransomware

Poopy Butt-face Ransomware is a type of malicious software, or malware, that encrypts data on a victim’s computer and demands payment for its decryption. It is a variant of the Chaos Ransomware. The ransomware is designed by cybercriminals to earn money, typically through Bitcoin payments. Once Poopy Butt-face Ransomware infects a system, it encrypts files and appends their filenames with a unique ID assigned to the victim, the cybercriminals’ email address, and a .Poop extension. For example, a file initially titled 1.jpg might appear as 1.jpg.Poop. The process of adding new extensions to original filenames is only a visual formality and does not change the fact of file encryption. After encrypting the files, Poopy Butt-face leaves a ransom note, a text file named Pooop-ransom.txt.

The ransom note typically contains instructions for the victim on how to pay the ransom to get their files decrypted. It's important to note that paying the ransom does not guarantee that the attacker will provide a decryption key or tool, and it also encourages the continuation of such unethical activities. As of the current date, there are no specific decryption tools mentioned in the search results for the Poopy Butt-face ransomware. It's recommended to keep regular backups of critical files and to use reliable antivirus software to prevent ransomware infections. If a computer is infected, it's advisable to isolate the device from the network to prevent the malware from spreading. Decrypting files with the .Poop extension is challenging without the specific decryption key. Paying the ransom is generally discouraged as it does not guarantee decryption and supports the attacker's activities. Instead, victims should seek professional help, use reliable antivirus software, and restore any available backups of their files.
