What is DataBankasi ransomware?
DataBankasi is a piece of malicious software categorized as ransomware. It is designed to encrypt data and demand ransoms for decryption.
After we executed a sample of DataBankasi on our test system, this ransomware encrypted files and appended their filenames with a ".databankasi" extension. For example, a file initially titled "1.jpg" appeared as "1.jpg.databankasi", "2.png" as "2.png.databankasi", and so forth.
Once this process was completed, a ransom note in Turkish - "---BILGILENDIRME----NOTU---.txt" - was dropped onto the desktop.
What kind of malware is Spartan Hack?
Spartan Hack is the name of ransomware based on another ransomware called Chaos. We discovered it while examining malware samples submitted to the VirusTotal website. The purpose of Spartan Hack is to encrypt files (to make them inaccessible for victims). Also, Spartan Hack renames files, changes the desktop wallpaper, and creates a ransom note (the "read_it.txt" file).
Spartan Hack renames files by appending four random characters as their new extension. For example, it renames "1.jpg" to "1.jpg.plwx", "2.png" to "2.png.8chy", "3.exe" to "3.exe.utbj", and so forth.

What kind of malware is RokRAT?
RokRAT is the name of a Remote Administration Trojan (RAT). Cybercriminals use RATs to access infected computers remotely and perform malicious tasks. RATs allow them to achieve almost any objective on the infected system. Usually, RATs are used to drop additional payloads (inject other malware) or steal sensitive information.
What is the 888 RAT?
888 (also known as LodaRAT and Gaza007) is a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) targeting Android operating systems. Trojans of this type enable remote access/control over infected devices.
Initially, the 888 RAT's developers offered this piece of malicious software for sale as Windows OS (Operating System) malware. In 2018 the program was presented as an Android OS RAT builder and later - as one meant for Linux OSes. However, in 2019 a variant of the Android 888 RAT became available for free.
This RAT is associated with two cyber criminal groups - Kasablanka and BladeHawk. According to ESET's researchers, the latter is responsible for a cyber-espionage campaign targeting the Kurdish ethnic group and its supporters. The 888 RAT was proliferated under the guise of legitimate apps promoted on pro-Kurd content Facebook groups.
At the time of writing, the 888 RAT spreading accounts and posts have been removed. However, other proliferators and proliferation methods are not unlikely.
