ScreenshotIf you visit Oibruvv.com you will find a web page that looks identical to Facebook, with a prominent error message prompting the computer user to wait. However, ESG security researchers do not recommend visiting Oibruvv.com under any circumstances. This website is designed to attack your computer system installing malware on your machine while at the same time confusing you with its fake Facebook interface and an error message. Clicking on this error message actually prompts Oibruvv.com to upload a Trojan infection onto your computer system. Once installed, criminals can use this Trojan to open up a backdoor into your computer system, an opening in your computer's security which can be used to enter your PC much like a robber can enter a house through an actual open back door.

Using malware associated with Oibruvv.com, criminals will usually proceed to install a remote access tool on the infected computer. This kind of tool allows criminals to control the infected computer system from afar as if they were sitting in front of the infected computers keyboard. Needless to say, this level of access can allow a criminal an unprecedented leeway to wreak havoc on your computer system, rob your private information and utilize your computer to carry out criminal actions such as transmitting spam emails, participating in Distributed Denial of Service (DdoS) attacks, or using your computer for activities such as money laundering, distribution of child pornography or trafficking with pirated software. It is because of this that ESG security researchers strongly advise running full, thorough scans of your hard drives in the event of having had contact with the Oibruvv.com website. Malware associated with Oibruvv.com does not cause any symptoms, which means that users will often become infected with Oibruvv.com-related malware without realizing it.

However, there are several ways in which computer users can still become victims to this dangerous website.

This should never be done; your web browser's blacklist is a powerful tool that prevents you from visiting dangerous websites inadvertently. Protect your computer system with a reliable anti-malware scanner and always keep your web browser security settings at maximum protection in order to prevent an Oibruvv.com attack.
