Whatevery.club is a misleading site that wants only one thing – to be able to use your Web browser notifications. Of course, the website does not plan to use this feature to provide you with entertaining and relevant content – instead, it will abuse it to serve countless advertisements that will bother you any time you try to browse the Web. However, gaining access to a browser's notifications is no easy task, and this is why Whatevery.club's administrators are using a simple and misleading...

The FLYU Ransomware is a file-locking Trojan that can hold media such as documents hostage by encrypting them. As part of Dharma Ransomware's Ransomware-as-a-Service, its encryption or locking method is presumed secure, and victims will typically require backups for recovering. Professional anti-malware utilities should block most infection attempts or remove the FLYU Ransomware after an attack. The data-encrypting business of the  Dharma Ransomware  has more variations in store for...

Cybercriminals try to exploit any piece of hardware that is possible to compromise. In the past, we have seen ransomware threats that go after the Master Boot Record (MBR) of hard-disks, therefore preventing the infected computer from starting Windows at all. However, some cybercriminals are keen on creating malware that is as threatening as ransomware, but not that noisy and flashy. The MosaicRegressor is a new type of rootkit that is nothing like traditional rootkits in terms of the way it...

XDSpy is a newly identified cybercrime organization, which, however, appears to have been active for many years. The criminal activity of the XDSpy group can be traced back to 2011, and its focus is on government and private entities. The group's implants prioritize collecting information from their victims, and the latest iteration of their custom-built malware is known as XDDown. The XDDown malware features a custom modular structure, and the criminals can expand or shrink its functionality...

Black-T is a threatening implant that tries to take over infected systems and then turn them into zombies used to mine for cryptocurrencies like Monero (XMR.) However, the Black-T implant appears to feature more modules than the plain crypto miner – it also runs legitimate password recovery tools for Windows ( Mimikatz ) and UNIX-based systems. This is one of the few cryptominers that pack an infostealing module, and this is one of the main reasons why the Black-T malware is considered a...

Seeing Legionship.club notifications in your Web browser means that you may have subscribed to this website's content accidentally. Usually, this is supposed to happen with your knowledge. Still, sites like Legionship.club may use misleading messages and instructions to trick you into clicking the button that will end up subscribing you to their notifications. For example, this website tells visitors to confirm their identity by pressing 'Allow' – however, performing this action does not...

Arguinely.club is a misleading page trying to get access to the browser notifications of its visitors. Arguinely.club wants to gain these permissions because it would be able to abuse them to deliver a non-stop stream of advertisements to the Web browsers of affected users. While there is nothing unsafe about this, it may ruin your Web browsing experience by exposing you to dozens of advertisements every few minutes. Of course, people would not grant Arguinely.club the ability to display...

Milkpload.net is an ad-ridden website that does not host meaningful or entertaining content. It seems to be designed with the sole purpose of delivering advertisements, and this is why we suppose that it may be linked to a piece of adware or a shady online advertising network. Users who have encountered Milkpload.net's content report that it should not be considered credible – the website's advertisements often may be found promoting online tactics, Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUP) or...

Quickwildcat.com is an unsafe website, which may show up in your Web browser thanks to online advertisements displayed by shady Web pages. The contents of the Quickwildcat.com advertisements are never credible, and this website often may try to engage its visitors in various online tactics. For example, Quickwildcat.com's advertisements may display a fake prompt asking you to apply the latest Adobe Flash update – in reality, you will end up downloading a piece of adware or a Potentially...

The Moss Ransomware is a file-locking Trojan that's part of the Ransomware-as-a-Service known as the STOP Ransomware or the Djvu Ransomware, from two of its earliest campaigns. Like most of its family variants, it can block files with encryption, delete backups, and cause other issues while demanding ransoms from victims. Users should have secured backups for recovering any work and let a compatible anti-malware service uninstall the Moss Ransomware as soon as possible. File-locking...

Demonbot is a Trojan that creates a decentralized network on infected systems, typically, for launching DDoS attacks. Current campaigns are using exploits specific to compromising unprotected Internet-of-Things cameras, and users should turn on password protection as a preventative step. Users also should have anti-malware protection on related systems for removing threats related to Demonbot attacks, and reset their IoT devices to factory condition. For the threat landscape, Mirai is a...

The Egregor Ransomware is a file-locking Trojan that attacks business's servers and blocks their data, along with leaking it to a publicly-viewable website. Beyond boasting exceptionally sophisticated obfuscation, this threat operates similarly to other Trojans of its class, and users can mitigate its attacks by the usual means (IE, backups). Dedicated anti-malware solutions should remove the Egregor Ransomware, and standardized security-hardening guidelines can limit the possibility of...

Some botnets usually manage to stay under the radar for a long time because their authors have opted not to harvest their power just yet. This is the case of the Ttint Botnet, a newly discovered campaign that appears to make use of vulnerabilities in routers made by Tenda. Cybersecurity experts suspect that the Ttint Botnet has been active for over a year, but it has not been used to carry out attacks during this period. Instead, its author has used the last months to grow the Ttint Botnet as...

The 'PUBG Hack' scam can be found on multiple websites, one of which is hacks-games.xyz. This tactic targets players of the popular online game PLAYERUNKNOWNS:BATTLEGROUNDS (PUBG,) and its ultimate goal is to trick victims into entering their Steam login or other sensitive information. The tactic promises to grant users the ability to generate in-game currency that can be used to purchase various skins and gear inside the game. However, trying to run any of the so-called hacks will display a...

Hijacking browser notifications continue to be the #1 goal of low-level online tactics in 2020. There are hundreds of websites set up with this sole purpose in mind, and, unfortunately, thousands of users continue to suffer from this intrusive con. Watch-video.net is one of the many websites to engage in this fraudulent practice, and it seems to rely on fake 'anti-robot' checks to trick visitors into giving it the ability to display notification unknowingly. It appears that 'anti-robot'...

EveryGameSearch is a misleading extension for popular Web browsers. Users may decide to give EveryGameSearch a try because it promises to provide great entertainment in the form of free-to-play online games from various genres. However, installing EveryGameSearch may have entirely different results. This add-on does not enhance your Web browser's functionality, and it does not introduce exciting games most certainly. Instead, all it does is replace the default new tab page you see with...

The Geneve Ransomware is a file-locking Trojan that can block media on your computer by encrypting each file, such as documents or pictures. Barred files may have random extensions, and the Trojan also leaves an HTML ransom note that asks for money (currently, 800 USD in Bitcoins). For defense, most cyber-security services should block installation attempts or remove the Geneve Ransomware after its installation. There's little difficulty programming a file-locking Trojan, which leverages...

The MAme Vse Ransomware is a file-locking Trojan that keeps documents, images, and similar media on your computer from opening. The MAme Vse Ransomware encryption may or may not be reversible easily, and users should have backups on other devices for recovery.

For criminals, sex and blackmail go together like peanut butter and jelly, and...

While profit or governmental interests remain the stakes, one can...
