No doubt cyber criminals have not stopped developing Trojan infections hijacking clipboards because ComboJack Cryptojacking has been detected recently by researchers. This malicious application is very similar to CryptoShuffler – it monitors clipboards on affected computers so that it could replace the copied wallet address with the one belonging to cyber criminals behind it. Since ComboJack Cryptojacking is a Trojan infection, it tends to slither onto users’ computers unnoticed. Once it is inside the system, it starts working immediately, but it does not mean that you will see a program’s window opened on your screen. Most probably, it will take some time for you to find out about the successful entrance of this malicious application because it tries hard to stay unnoticed and performs activities completely in the background. This explains why it manages to steal users’ money in a short time. Even though this threat tries to stay unnoticed, it does not mean that there are no symptoms indicating its presence. You should find a new suspicious process in Task Manager if ComboJack Cryptojacking is active on your computer, and, on top of that, it should be possible to locate the executable file under the name NVDisplay.Container.exe in %TEMP%. If it has turned out that you have encountered ComboJack Cryptojacking, you must remove it from your system as soon as possible. Do not be naïve – it will not disable itself in the near future.

Hpe Ilo Ransomware is a malicious file-encrypting application. What is unique about it is that it only attacks hard drives accessed via HPE iLO 4 (HPE Integrated Lights-Out) server system. This is why our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com doubt the application is widely spread. It is more likely the malicious program could be encountered only by some carefully picked victims and their work computers. We suspect this could be true as the malware might display a ransom note mentioning the user would have to pay 2 BTC for decryption. Currently, it is a bit less than thirteen thousand US dollars if you convert the sum. It is a considerable price, especially when often cybercriminals ask users to pay smaller amounts of money. After all, not everyone can afford spending thousands of dollars just for decrypting a few encrypted photos or other files alike. Usually, we advise users not to put up with any demands because there is always a possibility the hackers do not have the promised tools or may not bother delivering them. Thus, it seems smarter to ignore the ransom note and delete the threat. For more information about Hpe Ilo Ransomware we encourage you to read the rest of this article. Read more »

PedCont Ransomware has been developed by cyber criminals who want users’ money. It seems that this malicious infection is not that prevalent yet, but you might still encounter it, especially if you tend to download software from random P2P websites, open attachments spam emails hold, and use weak Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) credentials. It is not like other threats categorized as ransomware. It seems that it is more dangerous than an ordinary ransomware infection. Unlike typical crypto-malware, it does not encrypt any files on victims’ computers, but it ruins the Windows OS instead. You will see this for yourself – it opens a window after the successful entrance but then, after some time, shuts down the computer. The same happens if the opened window is closed by the user. The next time the Windows OS loads up, there is only a black screen with a cursor. No system utilities can be accessed too. In other words, users can no longer perform any activities using their computers. There is a possibility that other versions of the same threat working in a slightly different way are available or will be released in the future, so make sure you do not leave your computer unprotected. No matter what kind of ransomware infection finds a way to enter your system, make sure you do not give cyber criminals what they want most from you – your money. Read more »
