Error 1110 has struck many iPhone users quite recently. The issue was reported to happen when trying to upgrade a device from older versions of IOS 14 to IOS 15. Many users of iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12/ Mini, XR, XS, and other models had their device looping the Apple logo over and over again. The same problem occurred while trying to update an iPhone using iTunes as an alternative method. Users continued facing the same error with the following text: "The iPhone could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (1110). 06A1.0456". In general, error 1110 means iPhone does not have enough memory space to install new updates. Although the logical solution could be to free up some space on a device, nobody can do it due to the Apple logo stuck on the screen. In such a case, the only solution is to reset your device from scratch - this action will be followed by deletion of all stored data and settings. The only downside of this is that no data can be extracted using traditional ways while being handcuffed by the error. It negates all the users' attempts to boot back to the screen and make a backup of files. There has been some time since the 1110 error appeared meaning much fewer victims should encounter the issue right now. Apple has already provided a permanent fix to this issue. However, if you are still one of those few facing the error for some reason, follow this couple of steps to get over the problem.

ALBASA is a ransomware-type virus designed to encrypt system-stored data and blackmail victims into paying money for its return.

Black is the name of a ransomware infection that was discovered quite recently. It is developed to run data encryption and blackmail victims into paying money for its return. Victims may spot successful decryption simply by looking at their files - the majority of them will be changed using the .black extension and lose the original icons. To give an example, 1.pdf will be altered to 1.pdf.black, 1.png to 1.png.black, and so forth with the rest of the targetted files. Then, as soon as this part of encryption is done, the virus features decryption instructions inside of a text note (read_me.txt).

Cat4er is a ransomware virus that triggers data encryption upon infecting the targetted system. It does so by assigning the .cat4er extension to make encrypted files look like 1.pdf.cat4er, 1.png.cat4er, 1.xlsx.cat4er, and so forth depending on the original name. After running such changes, the virus creates an HTML file called HOW_FIX_FILES.htm and meant to instruct victims through the decryption process. As stated in the HTML note, victims can reaccess all the blocked data by going to the attached TOR link and following instructions on how to purchase special decryption software. Victims are given 10 days to decide on paying the ransom worth 0.08 BTC - around 3300$ at the moment of writing this article. After the payment is made, cybercriminals promise to send the declared tools able to decrypt the files. Unfortunately, ransomware actors are the only figures having the necessary keys to unlock your data. These keys are often strongly secured and almost impossible to crack with the help of third-party tools.
