What is Oscar Venom?

Oscar Venom is a ransomware-type program discovered by MalwareHunterTeam and is a new variant of Jigsaw ransomware. As with most computer infections of this type, Oscar Venom encrypts data and displays a ransom-demand message.

In this case, the message is available in English, German, Turkish, and Arabic. Oscar Venom renames each encrypted file by adding the ".venom" extension (e.g. it renames "1.jpg" to "1.jpg.venom", and so on). In this case, it is possible to view a list of encrypted files using the pop-up window options.

PUAs usually infiltrate systems without permission and, as well as causing directs, gather information and deliver intrusive ads.

What is Dharma-Gif?

Discovered by Jakub Kroustek, Dharma-Gif is another variant of Dharma ransomware. This malicious program is designed to encrypt data stored on a computer and allows developers to blackmail victims by demanding ransom payments.

Dharma-Gif renames all encrypted files by adding the ".id-[victim's_ID].[payadobe@yahoo.com].gif" extension (which contains a unique victim ID and the email address of the developers). For example, a file before encryption might be named "1.jpg" and, after, becomes "1.jpg.id-1E857D00.[payadobe@yahoo.com].gif".

Dharma-Gif ransomware is also designed to open a ransom demand pop-up window and a ransom message within a file called "FILES ENCRYPTED.txt".

What is DUNIHI?

DUNIHI (also known as Houdini) is high-risk virus designed to infiltrate the system, modify registry settings, and continually self-distribute itself by infiltrating removable drives. This malware allows cyber criminals to perform various actions remotely. Therefore, infiltrated systems are at very high risk.

Cyber criminals use spam email campaigns to spread this virus. They send hundreds of thousands of emails hoping that a percentage of users will open the malicious attachment, which will result in infiltration of DUNIHI.

What is GandCrab 5.1?

Discovered by TMMalAnalyst, GandCrab 5.1 is a new variant of the GANDCRAB ransomware family. This is a high-risk virus designed to encrypt data and deliver a ransom message within the "[victim's_ID]-DECRYPT.txt" file on modified desktop wallpapers.

The new text file is placed in all existing folders. The ransomware renames the filenames of all encrypted files by adding a new extension containing a unique victim ID. For example, if the victim's ID is ".hjnakliq", GandCrab 5.1 renames a file called "1.jpg" to "1.jpg.hjnakliq", and so on.

What is Obfuscated?

First discovered by Michael Gillespie, Obfuscated is a malicious program classified as ransomware. Like most computer infections of this type, it is designed to lock users' files by encryption and encourage victims to pay a ransom for a decryption tool.

Obfuscated renames the filenames of each encrypted file by adding the ".obfuscated" extension. For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.obfuscated". It also generates a ransom message within a "Read Me.txt" file and changes the desktop wallpaper. Once installed, Obfuscated runs a process under a random name in Task Manager.

What is NRSMiner?

The NRSMiner tool is a 'cryptominer' used to mine cryptocurrency using various computer resources, including the Central Processing Unit (CPU). This particular miner is designed to mine Monero cryptocurrency using XMRIG.

Cyber criminals distribute NRSMiner using the EternalBlue exploit kit, which most commonly targets Vietnam (54.6% infections), Iran (16.6% infections), and Malaysia (12.1% infections).

What is Googleapis.com Virus?

googleapis.com is a legitimate service (API) provided by Google, however, many cyber criminals (scammers) use it to promote various 'tech' (technical) support scams.
