VBShower is a malicious application that was spread during Cloud Atlas attacks. So far, it is unknown who is behind these attacks, but it looks like their targets are all government entities, international organizations, and institutions alike. As one could imagine, gathering sensitive information could be the main malware’s task. It was reported that it has capabilities that allow it to avoid getting detected, which suggests the malicious application was meant to work silently in the background. In other words, it is doubtful a victim would notice its presence, which means it could stay on a system for a long time. Thus, institutions in the hackers’ radar are advised to be cautious. For more information on how VBShower works and where it comes from, we encourage you to read the rest of this report. Read more »

Infected Ransomware
Infected Ransomware, according to the researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com, is very similar to an older infection known as Aurora Ransomware. It is possible that this malware belongs to the same attackers; otherwise, different parties are using the same malware code. In both cases, it appears that a free decryptor exists, and can be used to recover the encrypted files. This is terrific news, considering that most file-encrypting ransomware use ciphers that are impossible to crack. Hopefully, you too can free your personal files using a free decryptor, or you can use backups to replace the corrupted copies of your files. In any case, you must delete Infected Ransomware from your Windows operating system.

Darus Ransomware
Darus Ransomware is the kind of threat that can make your life miserable. This infection encrypts files, and if you do not have backups stored outside the infected system, you are unlikely to recover them. That means that if this infection slithers in, it might successfully destroy your personal files, so to speak. To drop the infection onto your operating system without your notice, its creator is likely to set up misleading emails with fake attachments or exploit RDP vulnerabilities. If you do not detect and remove Darus Ransomware right away, it starts its malicious attack not long after. First, it disables the Task Manager to make it impossible for you to terminate malicious processes and then delete the infection. Also, the threat drops files that can encrypt files, mimic a fake Windows updates screen, and even disable the Windows Defender. Without a doubt, this infection is strong enough to make a lasting impact. If you want to learn about erasing the threat, the recovery of files, and the security of your system, please keep reading.

Zero-Fucks Ransomware
Zero-Fucks Ransomware is a relatively new infection that was recently analyzed by our malware research team at Anti-Spyware-101.com. In fact, it is so new that it does not even work properly yet. The bad news is that it is already capable of encrypting files, and it could even spread successfully. The only thing that is missing is a functional ransom payment system. At the moment, when the threat delivers the ransom note, there is not enough information regarding the payment, and the displayed buttons – which, we assume, are correlated to the payment – do not work. These issues could have been resolved by the time you are reading this, and our team will issue an update if anything new is discovered. For now, however, we are dealing with a file-encryptor that does not function the right way. Of course, if it has invaded your operating system, you need to delete it regardless of the situation. Should you pay the ransom before removing Zero-Fucks Ransomware if that is possible? Continue reading to find out. Read more »
