Nexus is the name of a banking trojan that targets Android devices in order to extract banking and finance-related information. According to the detailed research conducted by Cyble, this trojan is assumed to be a rebranded version of the S.O.V.A trojan which has similar capabilities. As a rule, banking trojans acquire access to the targeted device by disguising themselves as legitimate apps and asking users to enable Android Accessibility Services in order to use the app's features or the app itself. Unfortunately, if permissions like this get enabled for trojanized apps, they will misuse them to grant additional permissions, prevent users from disabling them, and turn off various security measures like Google Play Protect. It is known that Nexus targets over 40 popular banking applications. To force users into entering sensitive information (e.g., passwords, passcodes, IDs, usernames, etc.), the virus downloads the appropriate HTML injection code to create a fake overlay of a specific bank app that a victim is using. This way users enter their log-in credentials without suspecting they could be recorded and sent to the cybercriminals' servers afterward.

Qarj is a new ransomware variant developed and published by a template of notorious STOP/Djvu family. This particular variant was released in March 2023. Being a file-encrypting virus, it blocks access to personal data by using secure encryption algorithms. This means that files stored on a PC will no longer be opened by users until they are decrypted. Currently, there are smal chances for decryption of files encrypted by Qarj. Only 1-2% of cases are decryptable, when certain conditions are met. Use all instructions on this page until you get some data restored. In order to show that all files have been put under a lock, developers append the new .qarj extension to each of the files. For instance, a file sample like 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.qarj and reset its icon eventually. After this part of encryption is finished, the virus creates a text note (_readme.txt) with ransom instructions.

Walknotice.com is an insidious advertising domain that bombards users with unwanted advertisements while browsing the internet. They may appear in the bottom right corner of computer screens and in the notifications bar of mobile devices.

To make matters worse, they consume a substantial amount of graphical resources, resulting in a significant slowdown of device performance. This highly effective form of digital marketing is widely used by unscrupulous third parties to promote their products and services online. However, it has also become a preferred tool for malicious hackers to spread their nefarious programs and infect unsuspecting users' computers. Therefore, it is essential to exercise caution when encountering Walknotice.com and similar domains to avoid falling victim to their harmful tactics. Use this guide to remove Walknotice.com from Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Edge, or Safari.

IDP.Generic is a generalized code name used by anti-malware software for labeling and therefore quarantining possibly malicious activity. IDP.Generic is not tied to any specific file – a plethora of different files can be assigned with this detection component by your antivirus. In the majority of cases, such IDP.Generic detections are often false positives and do not pose any real threat to users. A false positive is simply when anti-malware software mistakenly identifies some harmless or legitimate file as malicious and blocks its operation or even deletes it completely. Many users report that false flagging happens with files of video games or other third-party software. Usually, it is Avast and AVG engines that tend to detect IDP.Generic as false positive the most. In this case, it is enough to add the file to your antivirus whitelist and continue using the associated program without problems. However, despite many detections like this being nothing to worry about, there are of course cases when the detected file(s) is actually malicious. Make sure that the software/file you downloaded is totally legitimate and was not downloaded from some unofficial and compromised resource.

Qapo Ransomware is a new file-encrypting program developed and published by the authors of STOP/Djvu family. Almost all versions entitled to this group of extortionists employ similar steps to extort money from victims. This particular variant was released in the middle of March 2023. Once Qapo gets on your PC, it runs a quick scan of your system to find sensitive data. Then, once this process is done, the malicious program gets to encrypt your data. During this, all files are changed with the .qapo extension, which appears at the end of each file name. For example, a file like 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.qapo, and similarly. Once you spot such an immediate change, you will no longer be able to access the data. In order to decrypt it, cybercriminals instruct victims through the steps listed inside a text note (_readme.txt), which opens at the end of encryption. All recent versions of this ransomware family have used identical text in the notes.

If you or someone has exhausted all the attempts to unlock your iPhone with the right passcode, eventually it will get permanently locked and display the following message on your screen: "iPhone is Disabled, Connect to iTunes.". To be more precise, this message will appear after entering the wrong password 10 times in a row. Such a security measure is meant to prevent possible intruders from accessing your iPhone without your consent, in case it got lost and could be at risk of getting viewed by an unknown person. Unfortunately, if you are the owner of an iPhone who simply forgot the password, the only viable solution is to restore your device to factory settings, which implies a full erase of content stored on a device. After restoring, you can use your iCloud or some other backup to recover data that will be erased. Follow our guide below to explore different ways to restore and unlock your phone.
