Call Box (by Media Hub) is a dubious application that claims to enable a number of 'valuable functions', however, these are simply attempts to trick users to install. Research shows that Call Box often infiltrates systems without users’ permission. Furthermore, this deceptive application continua
Herbst is a ransomware-type virus that encrypts files using an AES encryption algorithm. During encryption, this ransomware appends the name of each encrypted file with the .herbst extension. This makes it straightforward to determine which files are encrypted. Herbst then opens a window containin
Developed by SaferBrowser, Todays News Live is a dubious application that supposedly provides access to CNN, Fox, MSNBC, and other similar news portals. This functionality may seem legitimate, however, Todays News Live is classed as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and a browser hijacker. The
Package Tracker is a dubious application that supposedly allows tracking of package deliveries. These false claims often trick users into believing that Package Tracker is a legitimate application, however, Package Tracker is classed as a browser hijacker and a potentially unwanted program (PUP).
Login Email Now is a deceptive application claiming to allow email access from any new browser tab. These claims often trick users to install, however, Login Email Now is classed as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and a browser hijacker. One of the main reasons for these negative association
Payms is a ransomware-type virus based on the source code of another ransomware infection called Jigsaw. Developers of Jigsaw sell the source code in dark web and, thus, new variants of this ransomware are common. Once infiltrated, Payms employs an asymmetric algorithm to encrypt files stored in v
Yakes (Mobef) is ransomware-type malware similar to Salam!. After infiltrating the system, Yakes encrypts various types of files (for example, .doc, .ppt, .pdf, etc.) stored on victims' computers. Some variants of this ransomware extend the names of encrypted files with the Lokmann.Key993, .KEYH0L
Vault is ransomware-type malware designed to encrypt various files stored on infected computers. During encryption, this ransomware adds a ".vault" or ".xort" extension to each encrypted file and, therefore, it is easy to determine which files are affected. All files are encrypted using the RSA a
7ev3n ransomware stealthily infiltrates systems via malicious e-mail attachments, P2P networks, and fake software updates. After system infiltration, 7ev3n encrypts files stored on computers and adds the .r5a (or .r4a) extension to compromised files. Once files are successfully encrypted, a pop-up
CryptXXX is ransomware-type malware distributed using the Angler Exploit Kit. Following infiltration, CryptXXX encrypts various files stored on local and mounted drives using RSA4096 - an asymmetric encryption algorithm. Thus, public (to encrypt) and private (to decrypt) keys are generated during
