JiangLocker is a recent ransomware infection. Alike other malware of this type, it is designed to restrict access to potentially important pieces of data by running secure encryption. During this process, the virus assigns all blocked data with the .jiang extension. To illustrate, a file previously named 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.jiang and reset its original icon. Following this, JiangLocker changes the desktop wallpapers, displays a pop-up window, and creates a text note called read.ini. The text note duplicates information given inside the pop-up window.

Cyberone is quite a recent ransomware infection that runs encryption of data and asks victims to pay 1 Bitcoin for its decryption. While blocking access to system-stored data, the virus assigns its own .cyberone extension, making all file icons blank. For instance, a file originally named 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.cyberone and become no longer accessible. Note that most Cyberone versions we have observed can be decrypted for free with the help of a decryption tool released by Avast. You can find more information about it in the article below. After completing encryption, the last piece of the last to start blackmailing victims is the creation of ___RECOVER__FILES__.cyberone.txt and the display of a pop-up window containing decryption guidelines written by cybercriminals.

Watch out if you see the Threecaptcha.top domain, or notifications from this website in your browser or directly in the bottom-right corner of your desktop screen, because it can cause certain problems and become a potential security threat. Usually, this kind of website is visited due to 2 options: by clicking on dubious ads/links or being infected with potentially unwanted programs that hijacked your browser. In most case, this is just a social engineering attack, that deceptively forces users to allow push-notifications from the domain in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and other popular browsers. Threecaptcha.top attempts to force-click users on the "Allow" button to confirm that you are not a robot or other social tricks. In fact, you confirm nothing, instead, you allow the script to install adware on your PC that will display countless ads of a different character. These manipulations can lead to potential privacy threats and other problems related to confidential information (like passwords, credentials, IP-addresses, etc.). Even if you got trapped by Threecaptcha.top, we will help you get rid of it in the guide below.

Skip Ads is a browser extension categorized as adware. Although the name suggests it is supposed to help users decrease the number of displayed advertisements on various websites, Skip Ads promotes its own advertising campaigns. In other words, this browser extension displays its own ads in the form of various pop-ups, banners, coupons, surveys, and other types of content. Such content may contain redirects to untrustworthy pages involved in the promotion of unwanted or even malicious software. In addition to this, it is also worth mentioning that Skip Ads acquires access to monitoring browser-related content upon its installation. This means data like passwords, IP-addresses, browser history, geolocations, and more can be collected and forwarded to other parties for revenue purposes. Thus, having Skip Ads installed in your browser does not bring any beneficial experience, on the contrary, it may lead to significant privacy issues due to the risks we mentioned above. Sometimes trying to delete unwanted extensions results in their automatic reinstallation. This is because they add certain registry keys in the system that prevent the extension removal. Use our guide below to circumvent this problem and delete Skip Ads adware from your system eventually.

Diamond Ransomware is a malicious infection designed to encrypt system-stored data and blackmail victims into paying the ransom for its return. While running encryption, the virus renames all targeted files with the .diamond extension. This is simply a visual change meant to highlight the fact that users' system has been infected. Following this, ransomware developers create HOW TO RECOVER ENCRYPTED FILES.TXT - a text file containing decryption instructions.

Many users can receive various kinds of phishing e-mail letters that try to spread malware or steal account credentials. One of such e-mail scams can be a letter sent from a fake automated e-mail address ostensibly belonging to Dropbox. Developers behind this scam attempt to deceive inexperienced users into clicking on a highlighted hyperlink that represents a chain of links in multiple PDF documents. One of such links leads users to a forged Microsoft sign-in page. The opened scam page, therefore, asks users to enter their login credentials. If such details are given on a fake page, they will be easily recorded by scam developers and more likely used for stealing access to various Microsoft-associated accounts (examples are Office, Skype, Outlook, OneDrive, and so forth). Furthermore, in case the provided credentials were used for registering other accounts around the web, cybercriminals may try to fit them for accessing those accounts as well. If eventually became a victim of such or a similar scam, immediately change your password to prevent threat actors from exploiting your account. Note that Dropbox e-mail scams and other phishing letters may vary in the content they present, however, their purpose usually remains the same - to bait users into clicking on links/files and entering certain details. As an alternative, it can easily be a fake page asking you to enter your credit/debit card credentials. Beware of it and read our guide below to know the protection measures against such e-mails scams in the future.

Wizard is a ransomware virus that encrypts data with the help of AES-256 algorithms to blackmail users into paying the ransom.

Following this, it was observed that the virus creates a text called decrypt_instructions.txt onto the desktop. This note contains information about what victims should do in order to return their encrypted files.
