Court Order Email Virus

What is Court Order Email Virus?

Similar to "Invoice Attached - FINAL NOTICE Email Virus", "DHL Express Email Virus", and many others, "Court Order Email Virus" is a spam email campaign used to proliferate a high-risk trojan called Trojan:Win32/Sonbokli. Developers send thousands of deceptive emails encouraging users to open attached malicious Microsoft Office documents that infiltrate Trojan:Win32/Sonbokli into the system.

   
RadioSpot Adware (Mac)

What is RadioSpot?

Identical to Unzippy and NG Player, RadioSpot is another rogue application belonging to the InstallCore adware family. By allowing users to listen to various online radio stations, RadioSpot attempts to give the impression of legitimacy, however, this app is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and adware.

There are three main reasons for these negative associations: 1) stealth installation without users' consent; 2) tracking of web browsing activity, and; 3) display of intrusive advertisements.

   
Rektware Ransomware

What is Rektware?

Rektware is another ransomware-type virus discovered by GrujaRS. Once infiltrated, Rektware encrypts most stored files and adds the victim's ID as an appendix to the name of each compromised file.

For instance, "sample.jpg" might be renamed to a filename such as "sample.jpg.Ujr3p1H". Following successful encryption, Rektware opens a pop-up window containing a short message.

   
N1cely.com POP-UP Redirect

What is n1cely.com?

The internet is full of rogue websites like n1cely.com, most of which are virtually identical. Some examples of other websites of this type are notification-browser.com, crtmatix.com and artnewsupdate.info. When users arrive at n1cely.com, they are redirected to other untrustworthy sites.

Adhunter.media POP-UP Redirect

What is adhunter.media?

Redirect.viglink.com POP-UP Redirect

What is redirect.viglink.com?

Onwardinated.com POP-UP Redirect

What is onwardinated.com?

There are countless rogue websites identical (or very similar) to onwardinated.com. Examples include notification-browser.com, crtmatix.com, and artnewsupdate.info.

Users do not generally visit onwardinated.com intentionally - they are redirected to it by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that infiltrate systems without consent, deploy advertisements, and collect user-system data.

   
AppleCare Protection Plan POP-UP Scam (Mac)

What kind of scam is "AppleCare Protection Plan?

"AppleCare Protection Plan" is a fake error message that shares similarities with "Mac iOS Security At Risk Error Code: HT201155", "AppleCare Tech Support", and many others. This error is displayed by various malicious websites.
