How does data encrypting malicious program spread

Many file encrypting malicious program rely on the most primitive spread ways, which include spam email attachments and corrupted adverts/downloads. Nevertheless, it’s possible for data encoding malicious software to use methods that require more skills.

If you remember opening a file which you obtained from an apparently real email in the spam folder, that might be where you got the ransomware from. You open the email, download and open the attachment and the ransomware is now able to begin the encryption process. As those emails normally use topics such as money, plenty of users open them without even thinking about the results. In addition to grammatical mistakes, if the sender, who should definitely know your name, uses greetings like Dear User/Customer/Member and puts strong pressure on you to open the attachment, it may be a sign that the email contains ransomware. A company whose email is important enough to open would use your name instead of the common greeting. You may encounter company names such as Amazon or PayPal used in those emails, as a known name would make users trust the email more. It might have also been the case that you engaged with the wrong ad when on a suspicious website, or downloaded from a source that you ought to have avoided. Be very cautious about what adverts you click on, especially when visiting dubious websites. Avoid untrustworthy pages for downloading, and stick to official ones.
