Express Package Finder Tab Browser Hijacker

What is Express Package Finder Tab?

Express Package Finder Tab is a browser hijacker, which is endorsed as a tool for easy access to package tracking services. It operates by changing browser settings to promote a fake search engine (hp.hexpresspackagefinder.com). Additionally, it monitors users' browsing activity and gathers their personal information.

Watch Television Online Browser Hijacker

What is Watch Television Online?

As its name suggests, the Watch Television Online app is designed to provide quick access to various popular TV shows. In fact, it is classed as a browser hijacker, since it changes browser settings to promote a fake search engine (in this case, search.watchtelevisiononlinetab.com) and a potentially unwanted application (PUA).

Most people do not download or install apps of this type (browser hijackers) intentionally. Furthermore, PUAs often record browsing data. Watch Television Online is distributed with another PUA called Hide My Searches. Neither of these apps should be trusted.

   
Topoffert.com POP-UP Scam (Mac)

What is topoffert[.]com?

topoffert[.]com is a deceptive website, which operates by claiming that the visitor's device is infected and recommending an application for removal of the 'detected' threats. It endorses Solid VPN, MyProtect VPN, and other, similarly dubious apps. Note that no site can find issues/threats present on devices.

Any claims to this effect cannot be trusted. The same extends to the content they promote. Few users enter web pages such as topoffert[.]com intentionally - most are redirected by Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already infiltrated into their browsers.

   
Ewaglongoo.com Ads

What is ewaglongoo[.]com?

The ewaglongoo[.]com website leads visitors to a variety of other untrustworthy sites including, for example, notification-list[.]com. Typically, the opened web pages contain dubious content or open further rogue pages. In any case, neither ewaglongoo[.]com, nor sites opened through it, can be trusted.

Most people arrive at these websites when they have potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on their browsers. Typically, apps of this type open untrustworthy websites (including ewaglongoo[.]com and others), record browsing data, and display intrusive advertisements.

   
The Last Time You Visited A Porn Website Email Scam

What is "The last time you visited a Porn website" email?

"The last time you visited a Porn website" is a 'sextortion' scam that scammers employ to send emails to extort money from unsuspecting users. They threaten to proliferate a 'humiliating video' of the email recipient, unless their demands to pay a ransom are met immediately. The best way to react to emails of this kind is to not take them seriously and simply ignore them.

   
Calum Ransomware

What is Calum?

Calum is malicious software belonging to the Phobos ransomware family. Malware under this classification is designed to encrypt data and demand ransom payments for decryption. During encryption, all affected files are appended with the victim's unique ID, developer's email address, and the ".Calum" extension (".id[victim's_ID].[annali1984@cock.li].Calum").

Therefore, "1.jpg" might appear similar to "1.jpg.id[1E857D00-2473].[annali1984@cock.li].Calum", and so on.

After this process is complete, the "info.hta" and "info.txt" files are stored in certain affected folders. Updated variants of this ransomware use ".[decryptonlinemail@pm.me].Calum" and ".[backcompanyfiles@protonmail.com].Calum" extensions for encrypted files.

   
Videostream.best Ads

What is videostream[.]best?

videostream[.]best is one of many rogue websites designed to redirect visitors to other web pages of this kind, or to load dubious content.

Some other examples include loading-wsite[.]com, private-show[.]live, and sonagerthrou[.]com. Generally, browsers open these sites when potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) are installed. Therefore, most people are forced to visit the rogue sites inadvertently. PUAs can also gather browsing data and serve ads.
