Fabiansomware ransomware virus is a ransomware project dedicated to a malware researcher

Fabiansomware virus is a malicious program that angry cyber criminals have created after several successful malware researcher’s Fabian Wosar’s attempts to crack Apocalypse ransomware variants. As we have mentioned in the news post recently, this malware researcher managed to defeat this ransomware gang more than once by creating efficient decryption tools for each new version of Apocalypse virus. Cyber criminals got so angry about Fabian’s activity that kills their attempts to collect ransoms that they even started sending “private” messages to this researcher by adding mean and offensive comments in malware’s source code. They leave messages like “Crack me, [censored]” and also vulgar ones that we cannot share with you here.

Cybercriminals even bothered to create two variants of Fabiansomware ransomware. The second one is known as Fabiansomware v2 virus. The newest variant commands victims to contact cyber criminals via fabianwosar@mail.ru email. As you can see, they have even created a malicious email account featuring Fabian’s name, attempting to defile honor of this malware researcher. However, it is clear that this researcher has nothing in common with the ransomware gang except his pure objectives to fight against it and create free decryption tools for victims who get their computers infected with this phony virus. If you have been attacked by this parasite, you should have received the following message from criminals:

YOUR COMPUTER IS LOCKED !!!! AND ALL YOUR FILES ARE CRYPTED !!!!
(images, videos, documents, including hard disks, network disks, flash USB).

Contact by Email for data recovery. Then, we will provide Unlock-Password and Data Decryption SoFtware to you.

Email: fabianwosar@mail.ru

WARNING: If you don’t contact in 72 hours, then all DATA may be damaged unrecoverably!!!

If you have encountered this message, you should take actions to remove Fabiansomware virus using FortectIntego or similar anti-malware software and use Fabian’s updated decryption tool to recover your files. Cyber criminals have failed once again, and it is yet another proof that these criminals are losers that have no skills in programming. However, there are much more dangerous ransomware examples in the wild, so do not forget to protect your computer from ransomware attacks. You can find some information on how to protect your PC here.

Methods used to distribute this obnoxious malware piece

Fabiansoware virus is distributed using same methods used to distribute Apocalypse viruses – mostly, criminals spread them using malicious email campaigns and malware-laden ads. The main risk factors that increase the possibility of downloading this version of Apocalypse are reckless web browsing, lack of computer protection and the avoidance of upgrading computer software. Do not open emails sent by unknown people, or files added to them – they can be malicious and contain ransomware executive files. Besides, you should not click on flashy ads on adult-oriented or gambling sites and avoid installing software updates suggested by shady websites and pop-up ads that come from them. In addition to that, the computer should be protected with anti-malware software at all times to prevent Trojan horses (concealed malicious files) from entering your system silently.
