Saefko
Saefko is considered to be a RAT or, in other words, a Remote Access Trojan. Such malware makes it possible for cybercriminals to monitor and control an infected computer or a network. Many users who receive such threats get tricked into launching them. More information about the malicious application’s distribution is provided further in this article, so if you wish to learn more about this Trojan, we encourage you to read the rest of this report. Another important topic we discuss in the text is the malware’s removal. More experienced users could try to get rid of Saefko manually, but since it is a dangerous threat, our specialists recommend employing a reliable antimalware tool to be safe. ...
Pedro Ransomware
If you receive Pedro Ransomware, you might find yourself at a crossroads. As you see, the malware encrypts files and gives its victims a choice: to pay a ransom and get files decrypted or refuse to pay and never access them again. The problem is that paying does not necessarily guarantee you will receive decryption tools promised by the malicious application’s developers. Meaning, you could either get your data back or lose your money along with encrypted files. Usually, we advise not to pay for those who do not want to take any chance. ...
GoldBrute
If your remote desktop connection is vulnerable, GoldBrute can breach it without much trouble. The attackers behind this infection definitely do not need to do a thing as the threat is calibrated in a way that it would create new victims as it moves along. Unfortunately, many Windows users opt to use simple password and username combinations, and that is why cybercriminals are so successful. If your password and username combo is easily guessable, RDP login can be brute-forced by malware, and then the attackers, potentially, have full access to your entire operating system. ...
Nuksus Ransomware
If you let Nuksus Ransomware in, it will encrypt your personal files. This infection can corrupt photos, documents, and all other personal files that you might have no way of replacing. Of course, if you are cautious, and if you know about file-corrupting malware, you might have created backups outside the computer. In this case, you can quickly delete the corrupted files and then place backups back into their place. Unfortunately, if backups do not exist, you might be unable to restore them manually. You might find a third-party decryptor that works, but we would not make bets on that. ...
Vesrato Ransomware
The hackers behind Vesrato Ransomware may claim they can guarantee you will get a decryptor if you put up with their demands, but can you trust them? Unfortunately, the answer is no, which means even if you are willing to pay, you may not get to restore your files. Therefore, we do not recommend taking any rash decisions if you come across this malware. Instead, you should learn more about it, which you can do if you read the rest of this report. In it, we talk about how the malicious application could get in, how it works, and, most importantly, how to eliminate it so it could not encrypt more of your files. ...
VBShower
VBShower is a backdoor that is a new tool used by Cloud Atlas to attack and spy on government organizations in multiple countries. Cloud Atlas is a threat group that has been around for five years now, and they always come back with new tools to steal more information.
Due to the fact that VBShower and Cloud Atlas mainly target official institutions, VBShower is not something that individual desktop users should worry about (unless you are a government employee and you open your emails at home). Nevertheless, the persistence of this infection is enough to force us to revaluate our cybersecurity habits. ...
MedusaHTTP
MedusaHTTP is a vicious threat that can have many variants as the malware is available for purchase on the dark web. It is offered as a botnet, a malicious application that uses infected machines for taking down targeted systems, services, etc. It is usually difficult to notice such threats as they work silently. Not to mention, the symptoms of the infection can be attributed to other problems. Further in this report, you can learn more about how the malware works as well as how it could be distributed and what effect it could have on your system. Naturally, like with any other malicious application, we recommend erasing MedusaHTTP immediately. ...
Wal Ransomware
If Wal Ransomware enters your system, your photos, pictures, and other files that you might hold dear could become useless. This malicious application achieves this by encrypting its victims’ data with a secure encryption system. As a result, affected files need to be decrypted before they can be launched and, sadly, the necessary decryption tool could be impossible to come by. The hackers do offer the required decryptor via the message their threat displays after it encrypts targeted files, but it says a user has to pay a ransom for it. It would be no doubt a risky thing to do as you cannot be sure the malicious application’s developers will keep up with their promise. ...
Zatrov Ransomware
Pictures, Word documents, text files, archives, videos, and music files can all be corrupted by the malicious Zatrov Ransomware, a devious infection that derives from the STOP Ransomware family. It is unknown who the creator of this malware is, but it is believed that this attacker is also responsible for Vesrato Ransomware, Cetori Ransomware, Mogranos Ransomware, and a bunch of other infections that our research team has reported on in the past. Although most infections from the STOP family are almost identical, not all of them share the same contact email addresses that are directly linked to the attackers. ...
VIAGRA Ransomware
Although VIAGRA Ransomware might not be your worst nightmare, it is still a ransomware infection that can turn your evening plans upside down. The reason this program is not terribly dangerous is the presence of a decryption key. To put it simply, it is possible to decrypt the files locked by VIAGRA Ransomware, so there is no need to worry about that. On the other hand, you still need to remove VIAGRA Ransomware from your computer, and for that, you will have to delete several registry entries. This could prove to be annoying, so consider investing in a licensed antispyware tool. ...
