Sometimes, before real danger creeps in, we get to deal with something that only mimics the actual threat. This concept applies to ransomware, too.

The creator of Zero-Fucks Ransomware knows that it is becoming increasingly difficult to trick people into letting in malware, which is why the infection is distributed in a stealthy, clandestine manner. With more and more threats emerging, more and more users become educated and cautious. Unfortunately, ransomware is still thriving due to the distribution techniques that are employed.

Herad Ransomware is not an entirely new threat since it seems to be another version of Kiratos Ransomware, which belongs to Stop Ransomware family.

Government institutions in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America need to beware of KopiLuwak, a dangerous backdoor Trojan that could help cyber criminals steal sensitive information and cause serious security issues of a wide scale.

For all we know, once the threat slithers into a computer used by the government, it could be used to spread spam emails containing malware to all of us. ...
