What is Hhmgzyl ransomware?

Hhmgzyl is malicious software belonging to the Snatch ransomware family. Systems infected with this malware have their data encrypted and users receive ransom demands for decryption. During the encryption process, files are appended with the ".hhmgzyl" extension.

For example, a file originally named something like "1.jpg" would appear as "1.jpg.hhmgzyl" following encryption. After this process is complete, ransom messages within "HOW TO RESTORE YOUR FILES.TXT" files are dropped into affected folders.

What is Emilisub?

Emilisub is a part of the Xorist ransomware family. It renames all encrypted files by appending its extension. It also displays a ransom message in a pop-up window and creates the "HOW TO DECRYPT FILES.txt" file (another ransom message) in all folders that contain encrypted files.

An example of how Emilisub renames files is as follows: it would change a file named "1.jpg" to "1.jpg.emilisub", "2.jpg" to "2.jpg.emilisub", and so on. Typically, victims of ransomware attacks cannot access their files unless they decrypt them with a specific decryption software and/or keys.

What is the "Windows Error Code: DLL011150" scam?

"Windows Error Code: DLL011150" refers to a technical support scam run on various deceptive websites. This scheme claims that it is a "virus alert" from Microsoft, informing users that their devices have been supposedly blocked due to suspicious activity detected on them.

All of the information provided by "Windows Error Code: DLL011150" is false and this scam is in no associated with the Microsoft Corporation. Users rarely access sites that promote these scams intentionally, most enter them through mistyped URLs, are redirected to them by intrusive advertisements, or by Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs).

These apps do no need express user permission to be installed onto systems. PUAs cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, hijack browsers and collect browsing-related information.

What is thefaceduck[.]com?

thefaceduck[.]com and similar web pages display dubious content or open other untrusted sites. In most cases, users do not visit these sites intentionally - they are opened by installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs), through clicked deceptive advertisements, or other untrusted websites.

More examples of web pages similar to thefaceduck[.]com include totopcontent[.]xyz, hiroje[.]com and abcnewspro[.]com.

What is "Error Code : EBRX1:6X76D"?

This is a typical technical support scam website, which is designed to trick visitors into calling the provided number and then paying for supposedly legitimate (and unnecessary) remote technical support.

Generally, people do not visit these web pages intentionally - they are opened through other untrusted pages, deceptive advertisements or by installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

What is Cl?

Cl is malware belonging to the family of ransomware called Dharma. It is designed to encrypt files, rename them and provide victims with instructions about how to contact the developers (cyber criminals). Cl renames files by adding the victim's ID, cl_crypt@aol.com email address, and appending the ".cl" extension to filenames.

For example, it would rename "1.jpg" to "1.jpg.id-C279F237.[cl_crypt@aol.com].cl", "2.jpg" to "2.jpg.id-C279F237.[cl_crypt@aol.com].cl", and so on. It displays a ransom message in a pop-up window and creates the "FILES ENCRYPTED.txt" file containing another ransom message.

What is FrequencySkill?

FrequencySkill is an adware-type application that shares traits with browser hijackers. Following successful installation, this app runs intrusive advertisement campaigns (i.e. delivers various ads), makes modifications to browser settings and promotes fake search engines.

FrequencySkill promotes 0yrvtrh.com on Safari browsers and search.adjustablesample.com on Google Chrome browsers. Furthermore, most adware-type apps and browser hijackers monitor users' browsing activity. Due to the dubious methods used to proliferate FrequencySkill, it is also classified as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA).

What is Bmd ransomware?

Bmd belongs to the family of ransomware called Dharma. Like most malicious programs of this type, Bmd encrypts files, changes (modifies) their filenames and provides instructions about how to contact the developers. It renames encrypted files by adding the victim's ID, backmydata@protonmail.com email address and appending the ".bdm" extension to filenames.

For example, it would change a file named "1.jpg" to "1.jpg.id-C279F237.[backmydata@protonmail.com].bmd", "2.jpg" to "2.jpg.id-C279F237.[backmydata@protonmail.com].bmd", and so on.

Instructions about how to contact the cyber criminals behind this ransomware can be found in the "FILES ENCRYPTED.txt" text file and the displayed pop-up window (ransom messages).

What is Kasp ransomware?

Kasp is malicious software belonging to the Djvu ransomware family. Systems infected with this malware experience data encryption and users receive ransom demands for decryption keys/tools. During the encryption process, all affected files are appended with the ".kasp" extension.

For example, a file like "1.jpg" would appear as "1.jpg.kasp" following encryption. Once this process is complete, ransom-demand messages within "_readme.txt" files are dropped into compromised folders.

What is suftoajachi[.]com?

suftoajachi[.]com functions like many other websites of this type (e.g., totopcontent[.]xyz, hiroje[.]com, and abcnewspro[.]com): it loads dubious content or opens other untrusted web pages.

Typically, users do not visit addresses such as suftoajachi[.]com intentionally - these web pages are opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on browsers and/or computers, through deceptive advertisements, or other dubious websites.
