Easy Maps Now Browser Hijacker

What is Easy Maps Now?

Easy Maps Now is a deceptive application that claims to provide GPS-related features. Its appearance suggests that Easy Maps Now is a legitimate and useful application, however, it is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and a browser hijacker.

There are three main reasons for these negative associations: 1) installation without users' consent; 2) promotion of a fake search engine [search.searchemn.com], and; 3) tracking of browsing activity.

   
Dcom Ransomware

What is Dcom?

First discovered by malware researcher Petrovic, Dcom is a new ransomware-type infection that belongs to the GlobeImposter family. After successful infiltration, Dcom encrypts most stored data, thereby making it unusable. During the procedure, Dcom appends each filename with the ".dcom" extension (hence its name).

For example, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.dcom". Additionally, Dcom generates the "how_to_back_files.txt" text file and places it on the desktop.

Similar to checking-in-progress.comseceno.combikereddint.info and many others, mvideo[.]pro is yet another rogue website designed to feed users with dubious content and redirect them to other potentially malicious sites.

Most users arrive at mvideo[.]pro inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements displayed on other rogue sites.

Litar Ransomware

What is Litar?

Discovered by malware researcher, Petrovic, Litar is yet another data-locking infection that belongs to the Djvu ransomware family. Once infiltrated, Litar encrypts most stored data, thereby making it unusable. In addition, it appends filenames with the ".litar" extension (e.g., "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.litar").

The files are encrypted so that ransom demands can be made - after successfully compromising data, Litar generates the "_readme.txt" text file and stores it in each folder containing encrypted files.
