Honor Ransomware might encipher user’s files, then rename them and replace their original extension with .honor, for example, a file called picture.jpg could turn into uqa1-.honor and so on. Unfortunately, data affected by this threat becomes unusable, and thus the user becomes unable to open it. The only way to restore enciphered files is with a decryption tool, but it does not look like the malware’s creators are offering it. Apparently, they do not drop any ransom note in which they would suggest paying for a decryption tool. Therefore, our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com advise deleting the malicious program right away. After Honor Ransomware is erased, it should be safe to transfer backup copies if the user has any. As you see the enciphered files cannot be recovered, but they can be replaced with undamaged copies of them. To find out more information about the threat we invite you to read the rest of this text, and if you need any help with its deletion, you should take a look at the removal instructions available below this report.

If your operating system was hit by dream_dealer@aol.com Ransomware, you should be able to see the “.dream” extension attached to your personal files. What does that mean? That means that these files were corrupted by the ransomware. The new extension is used solely for the purpose of marking the files, and there is no way for you to open them. At the time of research, no program or tool could be used to open or decrypt the files corrupted by this ransomware, which, by the way, is one of the several known versions of the infamous Globeimposter Ransomware. It is most likely that the threat has invaded your system because you carelessly opened a corrupted spam email attachment, but that is not the only method of distribution used by attackers. Other malware and software bundles could be used as well. Needless to say, the entrance of this malware is silent. If it weren’t, you would immediately recognize the infection and delete its launcher. Unfortunately, it is most likely that you will realize that you need to remove dream_dealer@aol.com Ransomware only after it shows you the ransom note, and, by this point, your personal files will already be encrypted.

A scareware infection named PornBlackmailer has made its headlines in January 2018 when an online forum user created a post about a malicious .scr file reportedly downloaded from the free pornography website Xvideos. The PornBlackmailer ransomware blackmails victims to pay a fee so that they are not reported to the police about the use of pornographic material involving children.

It is still not specified whether the name of the infection PornBlackmailer is the right name for the threat, because the string "HowSexWithDolls" found in the codes of different variants of the threat suggests that this could be another name to use.

The PornBlackmailer ransomware differs from conventional ransomware infections that encrypt files and show the victim a ransom note in full screen or a program window. The PornBlackmailer does not tamper with the victim’s files but uses other scare tactics to extort money from the unsuspecting user. The infection should be removed immediately after being spotted, and you should also keep in mind that the threat resides on the computer even if no ransom notification is displayed after restarting the computer. The threat does not create its point of execution, which means that it does not start at every system startup, but that does not change the fact that it is necessary to remove PornBlackmailer.

Gh0st RAT was a threat involved in the operation called GhostNet back in 2008. GhostNet is the name of the network consisting of both compromised computers and C&C servers. Users initiated the installation of Gh0st RAT themselves by opening a phishing email and clicking on a malicious URL inside it, which when clicked, connected the user to the C&C server and downloaded a dropper. The dropper then connected to the C&C server once again and downloaded this Trojan. Infected computers were considered a part of GhostNet. Specialists say that Gh0st RAT infected 1295 computers in 103 countries. Among its victims were diplomatic, political, and military institutions. It is hard to say whether GhostNet is still active, but researchers are sure that users might still discover Gh0st RAT on their PCs if they keep them unprotected because the builder of this Trojan is available for download at GitHub (https://github.com/sincoder/gh0st). It might be downloaded by anyone and then used for various malicious purposes. Specialists say that this infection will not act the same in all the cases because cyber criminals might customize it to fit their needs. Consequently, it might be harder for users to detect it, especially when it infiltrates users’ computers without their knowledge and performs all its malicious activities in the background. Read the rest of this article to find out what it is capable of and how to erase this infection fully from the system. Read more »
