Code is the name of a new ransomware variant that infects organizations in order to run encryption of data and extort money in return for the decryption key. During encryption, it appends the .code extension and creates a ransom note (called !!!HOW_TO_DECRYPT!!!.txt) with instructions on how to decrypt the blocked data. Here is what an infected file would look like after encryption - 1.pdf.code, 2.png.code, and so forth with other file types targeted by the virus. In the note, cybercriminals try to persuade victims into paying the ransom for decryption. It is said victims have to install the TOX messenger and write to extortionists using the provided TOX ID. Unless victims meet these demands and refuse to purchase decryption, threat actors threaten to start randomly sharing the encrypted data with other parties or leak/sell it on the dark web and other shady resources.

Dapo Ransomware is a variant of the STOP/Djvu Ransomware, which is a type of malware that encrypts files on a victim's computer and demands a ransom payment in exchange for a decryption key to restore the files. During the encryption this malware modifies file extensions to .dapo. After the encryption process is complete, the ransomware drops a ransom note on the victim's desktop and in every folder that contains encrypted files. The note contains instructions on how to pay the ransom in order to receive the decryption key. The attackers usually demand payment in cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin. It's important to note that there is no guarantee that paying the ransom will result in the decryption of the files. In some cases, victims have paid the ransom but never received the decryption key, while in other cases, the decryption key provided by the attackers has been found to be ineffective. The ransom note file name used by Dapo Ransomware follows the same naming convention. The file is named _readme.txt. The ransom note contains instructions on how to pay the ransom in order to receive the decryption key, and it typically includes an email address, that the victim can use to communicate with the attackers.

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.
