Alcatraz Ransomware
Alcatraz Ransomware is a dangerous computer infection that, just like other similar threats from this category, enters systems secretly to encrypt personal files stored on the computer. It does that using the AES-256 encryption algorithm, meaning that it will be very hard or even impossible to decrypt files it locks without the special key. Even though Alcatraz Ransomware is a new threat, it does not differ from older ransomware infections in any way, i.e. it encrypts files it finds on the system, it leaves a ransom note asking users to pay a certain amount of money to get the decryption tool, and, finally, it enters computers illegally. ...

Searchbent.com
Searchbent.com is a newly emerged questionable search engine in a new family that also includes Currentexplore.com and Detailexplore.com, which are identical clones indeed. The main common feature of these search engines apart from their obvious similarity is that they do not seem to work as yet. This however does not mean that this search engine could not pose a threat to your computer in the near future. This is not the first time that we have seen a search engine that does not actually do any search. But knowing that the authors of such infections can only make money if they promote third parties through manipulated search results, there is a good chance that this search engine or the whole family will start working some time soon. ...
Lowlevel04 Ransomware
Even though Lowlevel04 Ransomware was first detected in 2015 and is considered a rather old threat, specialists cannot say that it is possible to encounter it these days. Back in 2015, this infection targeted users from Bulgaria and Greece mainly; however, these days the situation might be different. What we want to say here is that users living in a different part of the world should be careful as well. The first symptom that all the efforts to protect the computer from malware were in vain is the inability to access a bunch of personal files having .png, .psd, .xlsx, .exe, .sys, .ods, .pem, .xml, .jpeg, .mp3, .mp4, .doc, .docx, .rw2, .rar, .php, .bad, .odm, and other filename extensions. ...
