A red window opened on the screen claiming "Your Files Have Been Encrypted by the Sneaky Jew" means only one thing - Jewsomware Ransomware has infiltrated your computer successfully. It has been discovered by specialists at the beginning of July 2018, so it has not become prevalent yet; however, the situation might change soon, so we highly recommend that you do not keep your system unprotected. Specialists suspect that Jewsomware Ransomware is still in development since it does not lock or delete any files, but it is only a question of time when it gets an update and starts working properly. ...
The Brotherhood Ransomware is a malicious program that shows a picture of Willy Wonka, a character from the movie called Charlie and the Chocolate factory, next to the text on the ransom note. However, we believe the possibility of any users seeing this message is incredibly tiny. That is because we do not think the cybercriminals behind it are distributing it and even if they were the looks of the described ransom note could change. Nevertheless, our specialists think users who wish to keep their systems safe from such threats should learn about them as much as possible. ...
It takes one click to invite Scarab-Bomber Ransomware into your Windows operating system, but it takes much more than that to remove it. Furthermore, you might be unable to revert to the same state you had before the invasion. The infection encrypts personal files, and recovering them is unlikely to be possible. The developer of the malicious ransomware corrupts data using an encryption algorithm, and once files’ data is scrambled, there is no way to read them. Legitimate and free file decryptors exist, but they cannot help the victims of ransomware. ...
Rpd Ransomware is a dangerous computer infection that will encrypt most of your files, and then it will demand that you pay ransom to get your files back. This is how encrypting ransomware infections work: They scare users by appearing suddenly, and then they lock their data, and they are not joking around. While it is not difficult to remove Rpd Ransomware from your computer, it might be more challenging to restore your files. If you have a file backup in an external hard drive, the problem is more or less solved. Nevertheless, you have to understand that you might say good-bye to some of your files. ...
Users install FastFormFinder on their computers from the official Chrome Web Store expecting that they could access government forms (e.g. tax forms and citizenship forms) with the single click as promised. Some users find this piece of software beneficial, but if you ask us, we do not think that it is extremely beneficial because it only sets a page that contains websites that can be accessed without its help. If you have not found it very useful, but you have already installed it on your computer, you should erase it from the system as soon as possible. ...
It is very often that users add extensions to their browsers without any second thought. Although browser extensions like Gameszone Search are far from severe computer security threats, they should not be taken lightly. What’s more, sometimes extension might be added to your browser automatically when you click some pop-up or download programs from file-sharing websites. The point is that you need to remove Gameszone Search from your browser if you did not intend to have this extension. It is really intrusive, and it might inadvertently expose you to potentially harmful content. ...
Many users still think that malware targets Windows PCs only, but it is not true. Mysterybot is a perfect example of malware that works on Android devices. Specifically speaking, it should affect those devices that run on two Android versions: Android 7 and Android 8. Researchers have thoroughly analyzed this malicious application to find out more about it. They can now say with confidence that it is a typical banking Trojan. In other words, it has been developed to obtain users’ online banking credentials and then steal money from them. Unfortunately, Android users usually find out about the successful entrance of Mysterybot when it is too late, i.e. when personal details from their devices have already been sent to the C&C server. ...
Scarab-Bin Ransomware is a threat that belongs to the Scarab family of malware. It is one of those nasty infections that lock files on victims’ computers. If it ever manages to enter your system, it is not very likely that you could prevent this from happening because it will lock your personal files right away after it enters your system, and it will not ask for your permission. Ransomware infections are designed to lock victims’ files not without reason. Cyber criminals use these infections to extract money from users. We cannot tell you how much you will be asked to pay this time, but, as our researchers have observed, the decryption tool/service is usually quite expensive. ...
Today is World Emoji Day, and we would like to present a malicious file-encrypting threat called Shrug Ransomware. As the title suggests, the hackers who created it are using the popular Shrug emoji, which is seen at the beginning of the warning displayed by the malicious program. The text appears right after the infection blocks the device’s screen. Our specialists claim the information provided on it might state users have to transfer a particular amount of Bitcoins into the cybercriminals’ Bitcoin wallet. Needless to say, we would advise against putting up with any demands. ...
Gollum Ransomware is the same as Bitshifter Ransomware. It is often referred to as Gollum Ransomware because it uses the .gollum filename extension to mark those files it encrypts. No matter how it is called, it is a harmful malicious application that slithers onto computers to lock personal files on them. It should lock all kinds of files, from documents to media files. There is a reason why it acts the way it does. Malicious software developers have programmed it to encrypt users’ personal data with a strong cipher so that they could obtain money from them more easily. ...
