Were your personal files corrupted by GNS Ransomware? If they were, you should be unable to read them, and that is because the ransomware encrypts them. What does that mean? To understand it more simply, you can think of passwords. If you password-protect a file or a folder, that file/folder gets encrypted. The purpose is to ensure that only you – or whoever else has the password – can access it. Well, when cybercriminals use encryption, they lock files so that you could no longer access them. What is the purpose of that? The attackers hope that if you need a decryptor, they could convince you to pay for one. Due to this, they corrupt the most sensitive files – your personal files. Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely that cybercriminals would give you a decryptor regardless of what you did. Due to this, we suggest focusing on the removal. Do you know how to delete GNS Ransomware? Read more »

It might be difficult to understand what Phorpiex Botnet is or how it works if you do not understand what a botnet is. It is a system of connected devices that the creator/controller of the botnet can use to perform various tasks. In many cases, botnets are used for DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attacks that are meant to disrupt certain services. However, they can also be used for mass spam email campaigns and malware distribution on a vast scale. Probably one of the most well-known threats to be distributed with the help of Phorpiex is the GandCrab Ransomware. That is no longer the case today, but it can still disperse malware that causes problems and forces people to go through complicated removal tasks. Speaking of that, understand that deleting Phorpiex Botnet systems is not a child’s play. If your computer was infected, you might have to delete the threats implemented by the botnet, as well as third-party malware that might be used for botnet’s distribution or that might have been downloaded by it.

FlyBox Ransomware might need an invitation to slither into your operating system. Of course, it conceals itself first to ensure that you are not able to identify a security threat immediately. The infection can be concealed as a document file, and it could be sent to you via email or perhaps even social media platforms. The message accompanying the attachment should intrigue you and make you want to click it. The threat is unlikely to execute immediately, and you might have to click other buttons or accept certain demands first. For example, you might be asked to enable macros. If you do that, the infection executes silently. Fake updates and stealthy bundled downloaders could be employed as well. In any case, the infection is meant to trick you, and if it is successful, your files might be corrupted irreversibly. Should you remove FlyBox Ransomware to recover the files? This malware must be deleted, but do not expect for the files to be fully restored with this action. Read more »
