Armuchteetthat.info Ads

What is armuchteetthat[.]info?

armuchteetthat[.]info is a rogue website identical to suaningrebtersed[.]infonewschanel[.]bizallneed[.]pro, and many others. It is designed to redirect users to other rogue websites and deliver dubious content.

Users typically visit armuchteetthat[.]info inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) and intrusive advertisements delivered by other rogue sites. PUAs usually infiltrate computers without permission and, as well as causing redirects, deliver intrusive ads and record information.

   
Lanset Ransomware

What is Lanset?

Lanset is a typical ransomware-type program that prevents users of infected computers from accessing their files. It encrypts (locks) them and victims cannot use them unless a ransom is paid. This malicious program belongs to the Djvu ransomware family and was discovered by Michael Gillespie.

Generally, ransomware-type programs rename encrypted files by adding an extension to the filenames. In this case, Lanset adds the ".lanset" extension. For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.lanset". It also creates a text file called "_readme.txt", which contains a ransom message. This file can be found in all folders that contain encrypted data/files.

   
BSC Ransomware

What is BSC?

Discovered by Jakub Kroustek, BSC is yet another variant of high-risk ransomware called Dharma. After successful infiltration, BSC encrypts most stored files. Additionally, this malware appends filenames with the victim's unique ID, developer's email address, and ".BSC" extension.

For instance, "sample.jpg" might be renamed to a filename such as "sample.jpg.id-1E857D00.[basecrypt@aol.com].beets". After successful encryption, BSC opens a pop-up window and stores the "RETURN FILES.txt" text file on the desktop.

   
Megumin Trojan

What is Megumin?

Megumin is malicious software that is categorized as a trojan. It incorporates various features that allow cyber criminals to steal personal details, execute commands on the victim's computer, download and open files, and so on. Megumin is a high-risk computer infection that can cause serious problems and should, therefore, be eliminated immediately.

   
Redmat Ransomware

What is Redmat?

First discovered by Michael Gillespie and belonging to the Djvu ransomware family, Redmat is high-risk ransomware designed to stealthily infiltrate computers and encrypt most stored data, thereby rendering it unusable. During encryption, Redmat appends filenames with the ".redmat" extension (hence, its name).

For instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.redmat". Additionally, Redmat generates a text file ("_readme.txt") and stores it in each folder containing encrypted files.

   
Io-search.com Redirect (Mac)

What is io-search.com?

Identical to geofoxip.com, io-search.com is a fake search engine that supposedly enhances the browsing experience by generating improved results and providing quick access to various popular websites.

On initial inspection, io-search.com may seem legitimate and useful, however, developers promote the site using rogue downloaders/installers that modify browser options without permission. Furthermore, io-search.com continually records information relating to browsing activity.

   
Suaningrebtersed.info Ads

What is suaningrebtersed[.]info?

suaningrebtersed[.]info is designed to operate like other rogue websites of this type, including allneed[.]pro, feedmedia[.]me, and tontorcaltedron[.]info. When opened, this site redirects visitors to other rogue websites or displays dubious content.

People do not generally visit this and other similar websites intentionally - they are opened by potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) installed on their computers or browsers. In most cases, people download and install apps of this type inadvertently. Furthermore, most PUAs cause unwanted redirects, collect browsing-related information, and deliver unwanted advertisements.

   
Stone Ransomware

What is Stone?

Stone is a malicious program that encrypt files, thereby preventing victims from accessing them unless a ransom is paid to cyber criminals (by purchasing a decryption tool/key).

This malicious software is categorized as ransomware. Stone belongs to the family of Djvu ransomware-type programs, and this particular infection was discovered by Michael Gillespie. Stone creates a ransom message within the "_readme.txt" file and renames all encrypted files. For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.stone".

   
Warzone RAT

What kind of malware is Warzone?

Warzone is remote access trojan (RAT) that cyber criminals use to remotely access victims' computers. This trojan is advertised using a public website, and thus can be downloaded and used by anyone.

Typically, cyber criminals try to trick people into installing these programs and then use them to steal various personal information that could be used to generate revenue in various ways.

   
Proton Bot Loader

What is Proton Bot?

Proton Bot is high-risk trojan infection and categorized as a loader (malware dropper), since one of its main purposes is to inject additional malware into the system. Proton Bot is also designed to record personal data and connect the infected machine to a botnet.

The presence of Proton Bot can thus lead to other high-risk computer infections, serious privacy issues, and other problems.
