Eyedocx is a ransomware infection that encrypts access to system-stored data and presents instructions to make victims pay for the decryption. Once the encryption process gets put underway, all files will change according to this example - originally named 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.encrypted and reset its icon. The assignment of random extensions is a common effect of many ransomware infections, designed to highlight the blocked data. The .encrypted extension is quite generic and can therefore be used by other ransomware variants as well. Once Eyedocx finishes running encryption, it creates a text note (readme.infomation) with ransom-demanding instructions.

RAMP is the name of a malicious PC infection classified as ransomware. The main function of such malware is to encrypt system-stored data and very often capitalize on victims by extorting money from them for the recovery of files. When RAMP Ransomware blocks access to data, it also assigns the .terror_ramp3 extension to change files visually. For instance, a file originally named 1.pdf will change its name to 1.pdf.terror_ramp3 and become no longer accessible. The same will happen to other types of targeted data as well. After getting things done with encryption, the virus changes the desktop wallpapers and creates a text note (ramp3.txt) with recovery instructions.

These are the two popular error messages that users may receive while trying to update or restore iPhone or other iOS devices. It is also quite similar to other iPhone issues (53, 14, 10, 2015, 1110, 3194, 2005, 2003, etc.) that were discussed in previous troubleshooting articles on our website. This issue has its roots spanning back to 2012 and yet continues to be acute these days. Some users reported that the issue occurs also after trying to downgrade their device from iOS 15 to an older iOS version. Whatever it is causing the issue, the error remains the same. Usually, its appearance is related to badly connected USB cables, outdated software, system glitch, compatibility issues, internet connection, and other possible problems as well. Below, we have gathered a list of solutions that are most likely to resolve the issue and let you update/restore your device eventually. Try each method in the sequence below until it resolves the issue.

Chily is the name of a ransomware infection designed to encrypt system-stored data and extort money for its decryption. During encryption, the virus also runs visual changes to files by appending the new .[Chily@Dr.Com] extension. To illustrate, a file originally named 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.[Chily@Dr.Com] and reset its icon as well. After such changes, users will no longer be able to access their data as they used to before. Chily Ransomware also changes the desktop wallpapers and creates an HTML file (Read Me.Hta) that features decryption instructions.

Voicemail email spam is one of many email spam campaigns employed by cybercriminals around the web. It is designed to make users believe they received an actual voice message. One such email letter that got under our observation displayed information caller's name, number, and also the duration of the voicemail. In order to open this voicemail, users are given instructions to click on the button ("Preview voicemail") or link and enter their log-in details (email address and password). While such email letters may vary in their content, the purpose usually remains the same - to urge inexperienced users into entering their log-in credentials on a phishing page or downloading some malicious file/program. Please note that entering personal data on such websites is dangerous and will most likely expose your log-in credentials to cybercriminals. If the entered details are correct, this will allow cybercriminals to hijack associated accounts and steal them afterward. The stolen accounts may therefore be used for scamming other people by impersonating the account owner's name, for instance, on various social media. And since such people may identify the user as a person they already know, they are more likely to perform actions requested by cybercriminals (e.g., lend money, open a malicious link/file, and so forth). Furthermore, cybercriminals may also attempt to access banking-related accounts and perform unauthorized transfers of money. If you became a victim of voicemail email or other spam techniques, immediately change your passwords for accounts that might be in danger. It is highly recommended to create different passwords for each account in use as it will decrease the risk of major account loss/damage in case of a password leak. Read our guide below to find out about how fraudulent schemes tend to infect systems; what one should do if he detects a scam; if an e-mail is continuously under consistent spam attacks; and other steps to keep your e-mail spam-free.

bDAT is a ransomware virus that encrypts access to data and requires victims to contact developers in order to recover their data. It is also suspected that bDAT belongs to a popular ransomware group known as Dharma. While the encryption process is underway, the file-encryptor changes the files' appearance according to the following format - [victim's ID].[bkpdata@msgsafe.io].bDAT. For instance, a file originally named 1.pdf will appear as 1.pdf.id-9ECFA84E.[bkpdata@msgsafe.io].bDAT or similarly. After this, victims are presented with a pop-up window and info.txt file featuring decryption guidelines.
