What is "Zoom Conference Invitation email virus"?
"Zoom Conference Invitation email virus" refers to a malware-proliferating spam campaign. The term "spam campaign" defines a large-scale operation during which deceptive/scam emails are sent by the thousand.
The letters distributed through this campaign are presented as invitations to join a conference on Zoom - videotelephony and online chat service platform. The aim of this spam mail is to trick recipients into opening an attachment that initiates TrickBot malware's download/installation.
What is Ufwj ransomware?
Ufwj is part of the Djvu ransomware family. This ransomware variant encrypts files and appends the ".ufwj" extension to their filenames (for example, it renames "1.jpg" to "1.jpg.ufwj", "2.jpg" to "2.jpg.ufwj"). Also, Ufwj creates the "_readme.txt" file - a ransom note containing contact and payment information.
What is "The BMW Lottery email scam"?
"The BMW Lottery email scam" refers to a spam campaign - a large-scale operation during which thousands of deceptive emails are sent. These letters claim that recipients have won a new BMW 7 automobile and 1,5 million in US dollars.

What is ConfigAccess?
ConfigAccess is a rogue application categorized as adware. It also has browser hijacker traits. This app delivers intrusive advertisement campaigns and modifies browser settings to promote fake search engines. Furthermore, such software typically has data tracking abilities.

What is PcS ransomware?
PcS is a malicious program belonging to the Dharma ransomware family. Systems infected with this malware have their data encrypted and receive ransom demands for the decryption. In other words, the files are rendered inaccessible, and victims are asked to pay - to recover access to them.
During the encryption process, affected files are renamed following this pattern: original filename, unique ID assigned to the victim, cyber criminals' email address, and ".PcS" extension. For example, a file initially titled "1.jpg" would appear as something similar to "1.jpg.id-C279F237.[pcstuntman@onionmail.org].PcS" - after encryption. Once the encryption process is complete, ransom notes are created/displayed in a pop-up window and "info.txt" text file.
What is the leefmylife[.]info site?
Leefmylife[.]info is a rogue website, which shares many similarities with hisurnhuh.com, substandid.space, snappeared.website, and thousands of others. It operates by loading dubious content and/or redirecting visitors to various pages (likely untrustworthy/malicious ones).
These sites are rarely entered intentionally; most get redirected to them by unreliable sites, intrusive adverts, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). These apps can stealthily infiltrate systems and cause redirects, deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect browsing-related data.
