How to remove SpotifyxBiden Ransomware and decrypt .spotifyxbiden files

What is SpotifyxBiden Ransomware

SpotifyxBiden Ransomware is a malicious computer virus that encrypts files on the infected system, making them inaccessible to the user. It is a variant of the Vicious Ransomware family. The ransomware spreads through various methods, such as infected email attachments, torrent websites, and malicious ads. Once installed on a computer, SpotifyxBiden Ransomware takes control of the system and encrypts most of the user’s data files, including .JPG, .GIF, .DOC, .XLS, and many other file types. It uses an unknown encryption algorithm to lock the files and appends the .spotifyxbiden extension to the encrypted files. After encrypting the files, SpotifyxBiden Ransomware displays a warning alert to the user, demanding a ransom of 100 EURO to decrypt the files. The ransom note (read_it.txt) provides instructions on how to pay the ransom and recover the encrypted files.

Currently, there are no known decryption tools specifically designed for SpotifyxBiden Ransomware. However, victims can try using general ransomware decryption tools, such as those provided by Avast. It is important to note that using these tools may not guarantee successful decryption of the files. To recover encrypted files, users can attempt to restore them from a backup if one was created beforehand and stored separately from the infected system. It is essential to maintain regular, up-to-date backups of data in multiple locations to ensure data safety.
