Do you know what Best Recovery Ransomware is?
As file-encrypting infections go, Best Recovery Ransomware is pretty much the standard. It uses stealth to slither into unguarded operating systems. It then silently encrypts files. Finally, it drops a ransom note file that explains what the attackers want. Unfortunately, all they want is money, and they certainly do not care about what happens to your personal documents, videos, photos, and other important files. In fact, cybercriminals are so uninterested in your files that they are unlikely to help you recover them even if you follow their demands to a T. This is why we do not recommend following any demands at all. Have you contacted the attackers and paid the ransom already? Whether or not you have done that, you must delete Best Recovery Ransomware, and we hope that the removal of this threat is smooth for you.
Since Best Recovery Ransomware is not special in any way (when it comes to ransomware), it is only natural that is using the same distribution methods as most other file-encryptors, including Jope Ransomware, Jest Ransomware, Trix Ransomware, and thousands of others. Researchers agree that, in most cases, the launchers of this malware are found in clever spam emails. The launcher could be concealed as a document file that, allegedly, confirms your purchase, contains upcoming flight details, or shows a package tracking number. Cybercriminals know what kinds of emails people generally receive, and they can attach misleading email addresses, subject lines, and even logos and layouts to make the messages appear legitimate. If you are tricked into opening the attached launcher file, Best Recovery Ransomware executes silently. Then it encrypts all personal files and attaches the “.best_recovery” extension to their names.
Everywhere where files are encrypted by Best Recovery Ransomware, a copy of the ransom note is dropped. The file is named “HOW_TO_RECOVER_DATA.html,” and it is safe for you to open it. That being said, it is not safe for you to pay attention to the information that is presented in the message. According to it, you must pay a ransom in return for a decryptor if you want to restore your files. To learn how to pay this ransom, you are supposed to email bestcool@keemail.me or best@desharonline.top (backup). If you do this, you should receive the missing payment details, but you should not be interested in that because paying the ransom is a waste of money. Do you really believe that the attackers would help you after getting what they want from you? Remember that you are dealing with criminals here, and they could not care less about you, your files, and your virtual privacy and security.

In non-techie terms:
Best Recovery Ransomware is a dangerous infection that encrypts files. Once inside the system, it can look for other computers connected via the same network. If any are found, it can try to infect them as well. The goal of this malware is to encrypt personal so that the victim would have no other option but to pay the ransom in return for a decryptor. Of course, we do not recommend following the demands of cybercriminals. Once they get your money, they are unlikely to give you anything to restore files. Instead, they are more likely to flood you with new misleading messages or even terrorize you and ask more money. In this situation, you are safe only if backups/copies of personal files exist outside the computer. Before you can replace the corrupted files, remove Best Recovery Ransomware (if it has not removed itself). We recommend implementing trusted anti-malware software for this task.
