This is the end of the note. Below you will find a guide explaining how to remove CY3 ransomware.

What is CY3 ransomware?

CY3 is a ransomware program; this means it’s a virus that is designed to make money via ransom. It belongs to the Dharma family of ransomware. Other examples of Dharma viruses include HBM and RPC. As you can see, many Dharma viruses have three-character names, but there are exceptions too, like Cyberpunk ransomware.
But let’s focus on CY3 specifically. It operates in a rather simple fashion. First, it will encrypt the files on the victim’s machine. Second, it will rename them for visibility purposes, adding some information as well as .CY3 file extension to the names. Third, it will create a ransom note, “info.txt”, which you can read on the image above, and display another ransom note as a pop-up.
The notes do not offer much information, though the pop-up mentions that the hackers want to be paid in Bitcoin. Given that you don’t know how much money they want, you might be tempted to contact them, simply to learn it if nothing else. But, doing so is not without risk: anyone who replies to them might be targeted again in the future.
There are some ways to remove CY3 ransomware and decrypt .CY3 files without contacting the hacker at all. Learn about them in the guide below.

This is the end of the note. Below, you will find a guide explaining how to remove Theva ransomware.

What is Theva ransomware?

Theva is a malicious program that is categorized as ransomware. It encrypts all files on the victim’s computer and demands money to decrypt them. To ask for ransom, Theva uses a ransom note, called “#_README_#.inf”. You can read the full text of the note on the image above, or the summary below.
The note doesn’t specify any specific amount of money as payment, only saying that “[it] depends on how fast you write to us”. This is obviously a scare tactic to make the victims reply straight away; it is also possible that the hackers don’t want to mention the price in the note because it is very high. The note does, however, mention that the hackers expect to be paid in Bitcoin.
Contacting these criminals involves a certain risk; for example, it might cause more attacks in the future. They’re not trustworthy, either. Although some hackers really do decrypt the files upon payment, many others simply stop replying to the victim or try to get even more money from them.
For this reason, you are advised to educate yourself on alternative ways to remove Theva ransomware and decrypt .theva files. The guide below will teach you a few.
