Android users should watch out for a malicious screen locker called CovidLock Ransomware. It locks an infected device’s screen to prevent its owner from accessing it. Also, it should show a ransom note saying that the only way to get the device unlocked is to pay $250. If a user does not, hackers threaten to make his personal data public. Plus, cybercriminals claim that the threat encrypts personal files too and that users who do not pay will lose their data forever. However, researchers say that the malware should not encipher any files. ...

PXJ Ransomware
PXJ Ransomware is a new infection that we are adding to our blacklist. It is an infection that can harm your most personal files, such as documents or photos, and it can do that with the help of an encryptor. An encryption key is employed to change the data of the files to ensure that they can be read only if a decryptor is employed. Normally, this is a great method to protect your files, but the attackers are using it to their advantage. There are literally thousands of infections that can do the same, and some of the more recent of them are Remk Ransomware, Hentai Onichan Ransomware, and Lokd Ransomware. ...
Remk Ransomware

Unfortunately, once the attack is complete, you might find all of your personal files corrupted. Since you are reading this report, it is likely that you have already faced this dangerous infection. ...

Hentai Onichan Ransomware
Hentai Onichan Ransomware is a file encryptor, which means that it applies a unique encryption key to make you unable to read your files normally. At the time of research, free decryptors that could read the files corrupted by this malware did not exist, and so if you find an offer for a tool that, allegedly, can restore files, please make sure that you are being careful. Of course, you should not pay attention to the cybercriminals’ promises to provide you with a “personal decryption key” if you fulfill their demands. The infection was created to make you make a payment, but there are no guarantees that you would be given anything in exchange for it. ...
Lokd Ransomware
Lokd Ransomware is a variant of Stop Ransomware. It encrypts files and marks them with the .lokd extension, for example, oranges.jpg.lokd. Files that get encrypted are not ruined as they can still be restored with the right decryption tools. Sometimes cybersecurity specialists can offer such tools to ransomware’s victims, but, usually, only the malware’s creators can provide them. The problem is that they ask to pay first and there are no guarantees that they will deliver the promised decryption tools. In this case, hackers ask from 490 to 980 US dollars. ...
