Black Hunt is a malicious infection classified as ransomware. Upon infiltration, it begins encrypting data and then blackmails victims into paying for decryption (in #BlackHunt_ReadMe.hta and #BlackHunt_ReadMe.txt ransom notes). While running encryption, the virus also assigns the victim's ID, cybercriminal's email address, and .black extension to influenced files. To illustrate, a file originally named 1.pdf will change to something like 1.pdf.[nnUWuTLm3Y45N021].[sentafe@rape.lol] and acquire the new Black Hunt icon as well. Desktop wallpapers get altered as well. Inside the ransom notes cybercriminals state victims have 14 days to contact them by e-mail and buy a unique key for decryption. Unless the deadline is met, threat actors say they will start selling or leaking the collected data to various third-parties. Victims can review their "data situation" via the provided TOR link.

0x80070194 is an error code that some users encounter when trying to open or copy files in OneDrive. As a result, this may cause OneDrive or File Explorer to crash.

ScareCrow is a ransomware infection that first appeared on malware radars in 2019. Since then, the ransomware has undergone a couple of insignificant changes and upgrades. For instance, depending on which ScareCrow versions attacked the system, either .scrcrw or .CROW extensions will be assigned to targeted files. Ransomware infections are designed to encrypt potentially valuable data and hold it blocked until victims meet cybercriminals' demands to pay a ransom. ScareCrow uses a combination of AES and RSA cryptographic algorithms to thoroughly encryption of data. After successfully making files inaccessible, the virus automatically opens a pop-up window with decryption instructions. Please note that paying the ransom might not be mandatory - victims are advised to contact reputable ransomware researcher Michael Gillespie and decrypt ScareCrow files for free.

"Your Mailbox Is Full" is a widespread spam campaign that distributes fake messages saying users have overstuffed their mailbox storage and need to update it. The subject of such spam messages often contains titles like "Your mailbox is full", "ERROR ID: Mail-box storage full UPGRADE NOW!!!", or others depending on the spam variant. Inside the message, users are usually encouraged to click the "UPGRADE HERE", "UPGRADE STORAGE" or similar buttons to get more storage space for sending and receiving messages. In fact, all claims made by this spam campaign are fake and must not be trusted. The button that cybercriminals ask users to click simply leads to a phishing web page that requires entering e-mail login credentials. Please note that any properly-entered login credentials on phishing websites will most likely be recorded and become visible to threat actors standing behind this phishing affair. As a result, the collected data may not only be used for accessing e-mail accounts, but also for stealing other accounts (e.g., social media, e-wallet services, messengers, and so forth) that were registered with the same credentials. Social media accounts like Facebook may thereafter be manipulated for pretending to be the original owner and asking for loans from friends. Thus, if you got lured into entering details on the phishing website, we strongly advise you to change the password of your e-mail and other accounts that could potentially be exposed to the hijackers. Never become a victim of such spam techniques again and read our guide below to get effective tools for protecting yourself against them.

This error usually indicates that there has been a problem in communication exchange between the sending and receiving servers. In other words, this means that Google's server did not understand incoming information from the server that sent it. Such a problem is quite popular and is not only entitled to Windows 11, it can occur on other Windows versions as well. Since 502 code is an internet issue, it can result from wrong DNS settings, corrupted browser cache, enabled proxy connection, or inappropriate Windows firewall configuration. In some cases, the issue may arise simply because Google Meet servers are down and do not respond for the time being - you can check if this is the case using the DownDetector web page. If the web page reports no problems with Google Meet, then try the solutions from our guidelines below.

Lucknite (ETH) or LuckniteRansom is a ransomware virus that was recently inspected by malware researchers. The purpose of this malware type is to encrypt potentially important data and hold it hostage until victims pay money for ransom. During encryption, this ransomware also assigns the .lucknite extension to each targeted file. For instance, originally named 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.lucknite and lose its shortcut icon after encryption. After this, cybercriminals feature decryption instructions in the README.txt note. Sometimes the content of the ransom may vary slightly depending on which ransomware version affected the system.

OBZ is a ransomware-type virus that encrypts access to data and blackmails victims into paying money for decryption. At the time of encryption, the virus alters targeted files with the .OBZ extension. For instance, a file originally named 1.pdf will turn into 1.pdf.OBZ or 1.pdf.obz depending on which ransomware version penetrated the system. In addition, victims also reported seeing a malicious process named Traffic Light in Windows Task Manager. Once the encryption process gets to a close, OBZ Ransomware creates a text document (ReadMe.txt) that features decryption instructions. It is worth noting that the content of this ransom note is identical to other previously discovered U2K and MME ransomware, which may indicate that OBZ was developed by the same group of developers.
