Try This One Weird Trick Russian Hackers Hate

If the Russian malware is being used by bad actors from Russia the trick might be useful. And only if these persons care about legal implications the Russian courts can subject them to. A lot of malware doesn't even care and if they do, they have built in more extensive/complex checks to see if their malware should be executed or not.

There are scripts that make a normal Windows installation look like a Windows installation in a virtual machine. Malware is known to be able to detect if it runs in a VM or not and will act very differently. Sometimes it doesn't even infect the VM, instead it will try to "jump" from the VM onto the host.
The easy path is usually downhill...

Fwiw, in my recent experience, there is a lot of ransomware that doesn't give a whit if it's running on a VM. Considering the virtualization of America's businesses, it does not surprise me at all that ransomware doesn't hold back on a VM any more.

But for that - just so everyone knows - best practice is (1) don't link up your VMware to use domain credentials, and (2) don't back your stuff up to permanently connected repositories (like "my backup drive is an iscsi connection to a big disk array") or to a NAS that is linked to the domain. Those things mean that bad guys who acquire domain admin have access to all your assets and can scramble at will. Sending copies offsite is the best.

And worst case your business pays and gets it all back, then you have to fix your external access holes RIGHT AWAY because successful perps often sell your system access to additional bad guys.

And also fwiw, I installed the Russian language on my home PCs after reading this because there's no down side and might be free, albeit iffy, protection.

Edit: and if you do that just remember, Windows-Spacebar lets you switch back to your preferred language when you accidentally switch to Russian.  :D

Don’t connect to this silly Wi-Fi network if you see it on your iPhone

The fix is simple. You just need to reset all network settings, 9to5Mac noted. This can be done by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Doing this resets all saved wifi networks on your iPhone, consequently erasing the cursed network name from the device’s memory. After that, your phone should be able to connect to wifi normally once more.
