There is a new malware in town, aptly called CoronaVirus. And this time the method to spread the ransomware is very clever, the hackers created a fake Windows WiseCleaner.com
http://www.wisecleaner.best
(Fortunately, the site has been taken down already, thanks to those investigators who have reported it)So it will ask you to download
WSHSetup.exe, but it contains the CoronaVirus and password stealing trojan known as Kpot. If you fall victim and have executed the downloadable file, it will give you a warning like this asking
0.008 BTC (maybe this is just a test run that's why the demand is too low as this time.)

So far though the balance is empty, meaning no one has fallen for this gimmick. However, I just want to give warnings to everyone, specially to beginners that they need to be careful and used our common sense not to download anything that is very suspicious.
