WannaCry Ransomware

What is WannaCry?

Discovered by GrujaRS and belonging to the Phobos family, WannaCry (also known as WannaCryFake) is software categorized as ransomware. This malicious program encrypts files and keeps them locked unless the victim pays a ransom (purchases decryption software/tool).

WannaCry creates a ransom message that can be viewed by opening the "info.hta" file. It also renames all encrypted files by adding a string of random characters, an email address, and the ".WannaCry" extension to the filenames. For example, "sample.jpg" becomes "sample.jpg.[BFEBFBFF000906E9][recoverydata54@protonmail.com].WannaCry".

   
Cudalbapt.com Ads

What is cudalbapt[.]com?

Cudalbapt[.]com is classified as a rogue website. It shares many similarities with vinuser.bizonlinecontent.funchanelets-aurning.com and thousands of others. It is created for the purpose of force-feeding users unreliable content and/or redirecting them to various untrustworthy and possibly malicious webpages.

It should be mentioned, that few visitors to this site ever encounter it willingly. Most get redirected by clicking on intrusive advertisements or by having it force-opened by PUAs (potentially unwanted applications). These rogue apps generate redirects, run invasive ad campaigns and track data.

This webpage is rarely accessed intentionally or happened upon by accident.

In most cases, users get redirected to it by invasive advertisements or by PUAs (potentially unwanted applications). These undesirable apps cause redirects to dangerous websites, run invasive ad campaigns and spy on users' browsing habits.

What is punksgotoserver?

Login To My Email is a browser hijacker, it is endorsed as a quick access tool to users' preferred email service providers. It supposedly allows users to check their emails via browser's homepages and new tabs. Email providers it is allegedly compatible with include: Gmail, Outlook, AOL and Yahoo.

The alterations Login To My Email makes to browsers are not as advertised and instead are designed for the promotion of its fake search engine - search.logintomyemailtab.com. Additionally, this rogue application spies on users' browsing activity and consequently gathers their personal information.

Lp.macapps-optimize.club POP-UP Scam (Mac)

What is lp.macapps-optimize[.]club?

lp.macapps-optimize[.]club is the address of a deceptive website that informs visitors that their computers are infected with viruses. Typically, websites of this type display fake virus messages to trick people into installing a dubious application that supposedly removes the 'detected viruses'.

At time of research, lp.macapps-optimize[.]club promoted a potentially unwanted application (PUA) called Smart Mac Booster. Websites such as lp.macapps-optimize[.]club and apps such as Smart Mac Booster cannot be trusted. Generally, people are redirected to these websites when PUAs are already installed on browsers or operating systems.

   
Google Automatically Switches To Bing (Mac)

What is a browser hijacker?
