Gmail Virus

What is "Gmail Virus"?

There are many spam email campaigns that are used by scammers who attempt to trick people into providing sensitive details and personal information (logins, passwords of various accounts, credit card details, and so on).

Typically, the emails are presented as legitimate and official - cyber criminals (scammers) pose as representatives of well-known companies/services. In this case, Google Gmail.

   
Mira Ransomware

What is Mira?

Mira is another ransomware-type virus discovered by Cyber Security (GrujaRS). After successful infiltration, Mira encrypts most stored data and adds the ".mira" appendix to each filename.

For instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.mira". Encrypted data immediately becomes unusable. Mira also generates a text file ("!!!READ_IT!!!.txt") and places a copy in every existing folder.

   
Nsrooting.com POP-UP Redirect

What is nsrooting.com?

nsrooting.com is a rogue website virtually identical to digitalsmirror.com, pushfuns.com, browsers.top, and many others. It redirects users to dubious websites and delivers malicious content. Visitors usually arrive at nsrooting.com inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements displayed on other rogue sites.

PUAs usually infiltrate computers without permission and, as well as causing redirects, deliver advertisements and gather information relating to browsing activity.

   
Blpsearch.com Redirect

What is blpsearch.com?

The developers present blpsearch.com as a legitimate Internet search engine, however, this site is promoted using deceptive software 'installers', which hijack web browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox) and modify settings without users' permission.

In addition, blpsearch.com continually monitors web browsing activity by collecting various user/system information.

   
Digitalsmirror.com POP-UP Redirect

What is digitalsmirror[.]com?

Digitalsmirror[.]com is one of many rogue websites that should be avoided. It is very similar to pushzonex.com, browsers.top and pushtouchme.info. Its main purpose is to redirect visitors to dubious websites or display deceptive, malicious content.

Most visitors do not open this website intentionally - they are redirected it by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on their systems. PUAs cause unwanted redirects, open dubious websites, serve users with advertisements, and collect various user-system information relating to browsing habits.

   
DataTransportation Malware (Mac)

What is "DataTransportation"?

DataTransportation is a browser app (extension) that usually infiltrates browsers without permission. Therefore, people do not generally download and install this app intentionally. Installations of DataTransportation are caused by other potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that are categorized as adware.

To cause these unwanted installations, adware-type apps must already be installed on the system. Most users download and install PUAs inadvertently.

   
P3rf0rm4 Ransomware

What is P3rf0rm4?

First discovered by malware security researcher, fuyun, P3rf0rm4 is yet another ransomware-type virus that belongs to the Paradise malware family. After successful infiltration, P3rf0rm4 encrypts most stored files and appends filenames with the ".p3rf0rm4" extension plus the victim's unique ID and developer's email address.

For instance, "sample.jpg" might be renamed to a filename such as "sample.jpg_J5oayd_{babyfromparadise666@gmail.com}.p3rf0rm4". Once data is encrypted, P3rf0rm4 opens a pop-up window and places a text file called "Instructions with your files.txt" on the desktop.

   
Emotet Trojan

What is Emotet?

Emotet trojan (also known as Geodo) is high-risk malware designed to record personal data and proliferate other viruses. Research shows that Emotet infiltrates systems without users' consent.

After successful infiltration, this malware modifies system settings and uses the infiltrated computer to proliferate itself further. Cyber criminals usually spread this virus using spam email campaigns.

   
Win32/Skeeyah Trojan

What kind of malware is Win32/Skeeyah?

Win32/Skeeyah (also known as Trojan:win32/skeeyah.A) is a trojan-type infection that stealthily infiltrates computers and allows cyber criminals to manipulate infected systems. The presence of this infection can cause various problems, including additional computer infections and privacy issues. Trojans such as Win32/Skeeyah infiltrate computers without users' consent.

   
Luces Ransomware

What is Luces?

Discovered by Michael Gillespie, Luces is yet another variant of high-risk ransomware called Djvu. After successful infiltration, Luces encrypts most stored data and appends filenames with the ".luces" extension. For instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.luces".

As well as encrypting data, Luces creates a text file ("_readme.txt") and places a copy in every existing folder.
