'I RECORDED YOU!' Email Scam Removal Report - https://www.enigmasoftware.com/irecor...
The 'I RECORDED YOU!' email scam email strategy may not be a novel or inventive ploy. It falls under the 'sextortion’ category, a tactic employed by numerous unscrupulous individuals. Typically, these scammers assert that they possess recorded videos of users consuming adult content online. They then threaten to disseminate this embarrassing material to the users' friends, family, and colleagues unless a ransom of $1,200 in Bitcoin is paid. Many cybercriminals favor cryptocurrency payments as they offer anonymity and shield them from repercussions.
It's worth noting that this scheme doesn't target any specific demographic, as it seems that users of all backgrounds can receive these deceptive email messages. These emails typically contain a fabricated message claiming that the scammers have compromised the users' devices using a Remote Access Trojan (RAT), which is supposedly activated when the users accessed adult content. The scammers allege that this malware has secretly recorded both video and audio, capturing their actions during the online activity. Additionally, they claim to have harvested contact lists from users' social networks and address books, threatening to send the recorded video to everyone on these lists within a three-day deadline unless the ransom is paid.
Block Ransomware Removal Report - https://www.enigmasoftware.com/blockr...
The Block Ransomware is malicious software that poses a significant threat by encrypting a wide range of file types, rendering them completely unusable. The primary objective of the attackers is to extort money from their victims by offering a decryption key to restore the encrypted information. Notably, the Block Ransomware appears to be primarily aimed at users in Russian-speaking countries, as evidenced by the fact that its ransom note is written entirely in Russian.
One of the initial indicators that a system has been compromised is the abrupt file name alteration. The threat distinguishes all encrypted files by appending the '.block' extension to their original names. Once the encryption process is completed, the malware generates a ransom note within a text file named 'readMe!.txt,' which is then placed on the desktop of the compromised system.
