What is Bitx?
Discovered by Jakub Kroustek, Bitx is malicious software belonging to the Crisis/Dharma ransomware family. Devices infected with it have all data encrypted. The cyber criminals responsible for the infection demand payment for decryption. When Bitx encrypts files, they are appended with the victim's unique ID, developer's email address, and ".bitx" extension.
Therefore, "1.jpg" might appear similar to "1.jpg.id-1E857D00.[1btc@qbmail.biz].bitx". After this process is complete, a text file called "FILES ENCRYPTED.txt" is stored on the desktop and a pop-up window is displayed.
