Being part of the Phobos Ransomware family, Calvo is another malicious program, which encrypts personal data. The way it does it is by using military-grade algorithms to cipher the files. Along with that, the virus also assigns a string of symbols to each of the files. This includes a personal ID of victims, cybercriminals' e-mail, and .calvo extension to finish the string. For example, a file like 1.pdf will be infected and changed to 1.pdf.id[C279F237-3143].[seamoon@criptext.com].calvo. The same change will happen to the rest of the data stored on a PC. As soon as this part of the infection gets to a close, Calvo creates two ransom notes (info.hta and info.txt) to guide you through the decryption process.

Unwanted programs like Telamon Cleaner are claimed to be helpful utilities meant for optimizing system performance. The reason why it is classified as unwanted software stands due to unproven efficiency and intrusive spreading techniques. Once Telamon Cleaner or any other similar program gets its hands onto your system, you will see it bombarding your screen with threatening warnings. This is meant to convince inexperienced users that their PCs are heavily junked with unwanted files or malware. Unfortunately, such warnings are more likely to be fake as most experts doubt the Telamon Cleaner's ability to execute efficient clean-ups of malware and redundant data. By showing fake lists of generated issues, developers try to deceive gullible users into activating the full version, which requires some money to pay. After purchasing, the unwanted program will simply erase the generated entries and claim your PC to be optimized eventually. In addition to that, most unwanted programs have data-tracking abilities. This means that Telamon Cleaner can also collect personal data like passwords, IP addresses, geolocations, and other types of intel that may bring revenues to the extortionists. If you did not install Telamon Cleaner on purpose, then you should remove it immediately to prevent wasting time and system resources on rendering this program on your PC.

Developed by Phobos family, XHAMSTER is a ransomware-type infection, which runs data encryption. Such does not perform one-way encryption, instead, it offers to unblock the infected data in exchange for the money ransom. When it comes to data encryption, cybercriminals are usually the only figures being able to unlock your data. This is why they offer to buy their software that will help you regain access to data. Before getting deep into details, it is important that we mention how XHAMSTER encrypts your data. Apart from blocking the access, it also appends a string of symbols consisting of victims' ID, ICQ Messenger username, and .XHAMSTER extension at the end of each file. To illustrate, a piece of data like 1.pdf will be changed to something like this 1.pdf.id[C279F237-2797].[ICQ@xhamster2020].XHAMSTER at the end of encryption. Finally, once this process is done, the virus gets to creating two files containing ransom instructions. Whilst one of them called info.hta is displayed as a window right in front of the users, the other named info.txt resides on victim's desktop.
