What is wave-abstract.com?
According to the developers, Wave Abstract is a legitimate application that supposedly allows users to change the design of their homepages. Judging on appearance alone, Wave Abstract may seem legitimate, however, it is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and a browser hijacker.
The main reasons for these negative associations are installation without users' consent, stealth modification of web browser options, and information tracking.
What is chicheet[.]com?
As a rule, users do not open/visit websites like chicheet[.]com intentionally. It is known that pages of this type can be promoted through potentially unwanted application (PUA), deceptive advertisements, or other questionable web pages.
It is noteworthy that users do not download and install PUAs on purpose as well. That is why they are called potentially unwanted. There are many pages like chicheet[.]com on the Internet. Some examples are earntthatyo[.]biz, rtenmy[.]com, and oundoutth[.]biz.

What kind of malware is GoodMorning?
GoodMorning is a piece of malicious software, which is categorized as ransomware. It operates by encrypting data to demand payment for the decryption. In other words, the affected files are rendered inaccessible and unusable, and victims are asked to pay - to restore their data. During the encryption process, files are renamed according to this pattern: original filename, "Id" followed by the ID assigned to the victim in brackets, the words "Send Email", cyber criminals' email address in brackets, and the ".GoodMorning" extension.
For example, a file initially titled "1.jpg" would appear as something similar to "1.jpg.Id(045AEBC75) Send Email(Goood.Morning@mailfence.com).GoodMorning" - following encryption. After this process is complete, ransom-demanding messages - "GoodMorning.txt" - are dropped into compromised folders.
Ransomware is a type of malicious software that encrypts files, appends its extension (in most cases) and creates or displays (or both) a ransom note. MANSORY changes the filename of each encrypted file by appending ".MANSORY" as the extension.
For example, it renames a file named "1.jpg" to "1.jpg.MANSORY", "2.jpg" to "2.jpg.MANSORY", and so on. As its ransom note, MANSORY creates the "MANSORY-MESSAGE.txt" text file in all folders containing encrypted data.
It is worth noting that MANSORY is named after the targeted victim - the company named Mansory. The ransomware itself belongs to Nefilim family.
Nmuandwishto[.]biz is an untrustworthy webpage designed to load dubious content and/or redirect visitors to other rogue or possibly malicious sites. Users usually access such websites inadvertently.
