Bitlocker Ransomware

Malware

The virus exploits the Windows built-in feature, BitLocker. With BitLocker turned on, the entire disk, including all partitions, will be encrypted without adding extra encryption to a single partition or file.

Infected by BitLocker virus, this malware can create a BitLocker encrypted file that contains a virtual partition (VHD) and move all data into this fake partition, known as VHD Locker Ransomware. What's worse, other than your Windows PC, all external hard drives, USB sticks, and other storage media can all encounter this ransomware.
