What is Your Lovely Tab?

Your Lovely Tab is a potentially unwanted application (PUA) that hijacks browsers by changing certain settings. The main purpose of browser hijackers is to promote fake search engines. Your Lovely Tab promotes quicknewtab.com in this way.

Apps of this type are classified as PUAs because most users download and install them inadvertently. Your Lovely Tab and similar apps can also function as data collectors.

What is NASAcry ransomware?

Part of the Snatch ransomware family, NASAcry is a malicious program designed to encrypt data and demand payment for decryption. It operates by rendering victims' files inaccessible/useless and demanding ransoms for recovery.

During the encryption process, files are renamed with a random character string and the ".NASAcry" extension. For example, a file originally named "1.jpg" would appear as something similar to "NC5qcGc=.NASAcry" following encryption.

Once this process is complete, a ransom message within the "HELP-ME-RESTORE-MY-FILES-BACK.html" file is created.

What is CRYPTBD ransomware?

CRYPTBD is malicious software belonging to the MedusaLocker ransomware family. This malware operates by encrypting data and demanding payment for decryption. Files affected by CRYPTBD are rendered inaccessible, and victims receive ransom demands for access recovery.

During the encryption process, files are appended with the ".CRYPTBD" extension. For example, a file initially named something like "1.jpg" would appear as "1.jpg.CRYPTBD", "2.jpg" as "2.jpg.CRYPTBD", and so on.

After this process is complete, ransom messages within "HOW_TO_RECOVER_DATA.html" files are dropped into compromised folders.

What is searchfox.me?

searchfox.me is the address of a fake search engine that appears in browser settings after installation of a browser hijacker. The app that changes settings to promote searchfox.me is distributed via a fake installer designed to appear like the installer for Adobe Flash Player.

Generally, users download and install browser hijackers, and other apps that are distributed through fake installers (or using other deceptive methods), inadvertently. Therefore, these rogue apps are classified as potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

What is the ro01[.]biz site?

ro01[.]biz is a rogue website sharing common traits with appzery.com, finddealsdaily.com, liveads.net, and thousands of others. This page operates by delivering dubious content and redirecting visitors to other untrusted/malicious sites.

Most users access these web pages unintentionally - they are redirected to them by intrusive ads or installed Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs). These apps do not require explicit user permission to infiltrate systems. PUAs are designed to cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect browsing-related data.

What is Liz?

Ransomware is a type of malware that blocks access to the computer (or files stored on it) by encryption. In order to unlock (decrypt) data, victims are required to pay a ransom.

Liz ransomware encrypts files and renames them by adding the victim's ID, the lizardcrypt@tuta.io email address to their filenames, and appending ".liz" as the file extension. For example, "1.jpg" is renamed to "1.jpg.id-C279F237.[lizardcrypt@tuta.io].liz", "2.jpg" to "2.jpg.id-C279F237.[lizardcrypt@tuta.io].liz", and so on.

Liz also displays a pop-up window and creates the "Manual.txt" file, both of which are ransom messages.

This ransomware variant belongs to the ransomware family called Dharma.

What kind of page is appzery[.]com?

Appzery[.]com is a rogue website that operates by presenting visitors with dubious content and/or redirecting them to other untrusted, possibly malicious pages. The internet is rife with these sites - finddealsdaily.com, liveads.net, freshannouncement.com, and itscythera.com are just some examples.

Users seldom access these web pages intentionally - most are redirected to them by intrusive advertisements or by installed rogue applications. This software does not require explicit user permission to be installed onto systems. It can have dangerous functionality, including causing redirects, delivering intrusive ad campaigns, and gathering browsing-related information.

What is the "Terminal would like to access files in your Download folder" message?

Despite its close resemblance to legitimate system messages, "Terminal would like to access files in your Download folder" is a fake pop-up.

This window asks to allow "Terminal" access to the "Download" folder. You are strongly advised against permitting dubious software access to any preferences, as this can lead to serious issues.

The "Terminal would like to access files in your Download folder" pop-up is likely to be displayed when adware has infiltrated the device, however, browser hijackers and other Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) are likewise capable of showing bogus messages.

What is finddealsdaily[.]com?

There are many pages similar to finddealsdaily[.]com on the internet. Some examples are liveads[.]net, freshannouncement[.]com, and itscythera[.]com. All of these pages are created to promote other bogus sites and load dubious content.

None of these sites can be trusted and, in most cases, people do not visit them intentionally - they are opened by browsers that have potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on them, through clicked deceptive advertisements, and other dubious pages.

What is the "Double Your ETHEREUM" scam email?

The "Double Your ETHEREUM email scam" refers to a spam campaign, a large-scale operation during which thousands of deceptive emails are sent. The scam messages distributed through this campaign claim recipients can double their Ethereum cryptocurrency investments.

Note that these emails are scams - users will not receive any cryptocurrency returns and only lose the sums they transfer to the scam.
