Infected with Dharma Bip ransomware? Need to decrypt your files?

What is Dharma Bip ransomware

Dharma Bip Ransomware is a new version of most dangerous PC threats Dharma Ransomware. After infiltration, a virus encrypts all *.doc, *.xls, *.db, *.avi, *.mp3, *.wav and many others files on users PC. Decryption method is AES+RSA, so it’s very difficult to decrypt .bip files without decryption algorithm, but at present moment it doesn’t exist. After the short procedure of encryption, Dharma Bip ransomware changes files suffixes to *.[restoresales@airmail.cc].bip, *.beamsell@qq.com, *.[298347823@tuta.io].bip and creates special messages for users, called FILES ENCRYPTED.txt and Info.hta. These messages are shown to victims for the main purpose: getting money for potential decryption. Cybercriminals offer free decryption only for one file, to prove, that they are not joking. We strongly recommend to not pay them, because decryption by this way is not warranted. Besides, all payments will support the creation of similar viruses in future. Examples of INFO.hta ransom note (below):
