Newexploit is a ransomware virus designed to encrypt PC-stored data and blackmail victims into paying the so-called ransom. Successful encryption is justified after Newexploit changes file extensions to .exploit. For instance, a file like 1.pdf will drop its original icon and change to 1.pdf.exploit. As a result of this, users lose their access to files meaning they are unable to read or edit them anymore. In order to fix it, Newexploit offers its victims to follow instructions written inside of a text note (RECOVERY INFORMATION.txt). This note gets created immediately after successful encryption and contains information on how to recover the data.

0x800f0922 is a Windows error that occurs while trying to install the latest pending updates. Some users reported this was the issue with KB5003173 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 21H1, 20H2, and 2004 as well. Usually, it happens due to deactivated .NET Framework components or connection problems that interrupt the successful completion of updates. The error is also frequently-seen after incorrectly uninstalling Microsoft Edge. Some cumulative updates including KB5003173 are meant to upload additional components for Edge result in failure while detecting empty C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\ folder. There are also some other reasons that could trigger the same 0x800f0922 error - firewall blockage, missing system files, and corrupted update components. Below, we discuss all the possible solutions related to each of the reasons that will potentially fix the issue.

Being part of the Phobos family, Elbie is a ransomware infection designed to generate profits for its developers by extorting money from victims. It does so right after encrypting data and appending new file extensions. For instance, a file named 1.pdf will change to something like 1.pdf.id[C279F237-2994].[antich154@privatemail.com].Elbie and also reset its original icon. The pattern used by cybercriminals to rename files is original_filename.[victim's ID].[antich154@privatemail.com].Elbie. After applying all the visual changes, the virus creates two ransom notes called info.hta and info.txt. Both of them contain short and broader instructions on how to return the blocked data.

DeadBolt is a ransomware virus that hacks QNAP and NAS devices using vulnerability issues to encrypt the stored data. It happens immediately not letting users prevent the process and save their files from strong encryption. Once distributed, the virus hijacks the QNAP login screen to feature a ransom note demanding victims to pay for decryption. This blocks infected users from going anywhere beyond the logging screen to access their admin page, for instance. Though, QNAP noted this can be bypassed by using the following URLs - http://nas_ip:8080/cgi-bin/index.cgi or https://nas_ip/cgi-bin/index.cgi. In addition, all ransom note pop-ups are also contained within a single HTML file called index.html_deadlock.txt. DeadBolt also assigns the new .deadbolt extension to all data impacted within a system. To illustrate, a file like 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.deadbolt becoming fully inaccessible. The same will happen to all files encrypted by DeadBolt Ransomware. You can expand the list of all file extensions targetted by this ransomware variant:

This guide is dedicated to resolving issues related to the 0x800f0950 error. This code has been reported by users to happen while installing .NET 3.5 Framework or booting apps or videogames on both Windows 10 and 11. The error message contains this text "The changes couldn’t be completed. Please reboot your computer and try again. Error code: 0x800F0950" preventing users from proceeding with a successful setup. Reasons for such a malfunction are hard to define blindfolded. The overall error is pretty uncertain and might appear for no obvious reason. Despite such confusion, many experts come up with basic triggers that cause error 0x800f0950 to occur. Some of them are corrupted remnant files after previous .NET 3.5 Framework uninstallation, lack of system updates, disabled .NET Framework, damaged system files, and other causes as well. It may be hard to identify which one of them led to the problem, thus, we encourage you to try each step we listed below until you find the right solution that fixes the error.

Asistchinadecryption was classified as a ransomware infection. This means it is able to encrypt personal data and demand money for its return. During encryption, all compromised files experience visual changes - the virus appends .asistchinadecryption along with a victim ID to original filenames. For instance, a file like 1.pdf will be altered to 1.pdf.asistchinadecryption.C04-41D-05E and reset its original icon. The same will be applied to all other data only varying with IDs per victim. The file-encryptor also creates a file named !!! ALL YOUR FILES ARE ENCRYPTED !!!.TXT. This is a ransom note meant to provide victims with steps on how to recover the files.

White Rabbit is classified as a ransomware program that runs encryption of data to demand money for its return. It was detected by Michael Gillespie - a popular malware researcher specializing in ransomware infections. While encrypting all the important data stored on a system, the virus appends a .scrypt extension to the end of each file. For instance, a sample named 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.scrypt and reset its original icon. In addition, all blocked files will get their ransom note files with unique encryption keys. 1.pdf.scrypt will get 1.pdf.scrypt.txt, 1.xlsx.scrypt - 1.xlsx.scrypt.txt, and so forth.
