Data encoding malware distribution ways

A lot of file encoding malware use quite basic spread ways, which include added infected files to emails and showing dangerous advertisements. Nevertheless, it’s possible for data encoding malware to use more sophisticated methods.

Recall if you have recently gotten a weird email with an attachment, which you opened. All cyber crooks spreading the file encoding malicious program have to do is attach a corrupted file to an email, send it to hundreds of people, who contaminate their computers as soon as they open the attachment. Cyber criminals could make those emails very convincing, commonly using topics like money and taxes, which is why it isn’t really shocking that many users open those attachments. In addition to mistakes in grammar, if the sender, who certainly knows your name, uses greetings such as Dear User/Customer/Member and strongly encourages you to open the attachment, you have to be cautious. Your name would be put into the email automatically if the sender was from a company whose email you ought to open. Do not be shocked to see names such as Amazon or PayPal used, because when people see a familiar name, they are more likely to let down their guard. If that isn’t the case, you might have picked up the infection via some other ways, such as malicious ads or bogus downloads. Compromised sites might be hosting malicious advertisements so avoid engaging with them. Or you might have downloaded a ransomware-infected file from an unreliable source. You ought to never download anything from advertisements, whether they are pop-ups or banners or any other kind. Programs generally update without you even seeing, but if manual update was needed, an alert would be sent to you through the program itself.

A contamination may result in you being permanently locked out of your files, which is what makes it such a damaging threat. File encryption doesn’t take long, a data encrypting malicious program has a list of targets and can locate all of them quite quickly. What makes file encoding very obvious is the file extension added to all affected files, usually showing the name of the data encoding malicious software. A file encoding malicious program tends to use strong encryption algorithms to encrypt files. When encryption is finished, a ransom note will appear, which is intended to explain to you how you should proceed. Even though you will be offered to buy a decryption utility, paying for it would not necessarily be the best idea. Don’t forget that you are dealing with cyber criminals, and what is stopping them from simply taking your money. The ransom money would also likely be financing future ransomware or other malware activities. Even though it’s reasonable, by complying with the demands, victims are making ransomware an increasingly more profitable business, which is believed to have made $1 billion in 2016, and evidently that attracts plenty of people to it. Instead of paying cyber criminals money, invest the money into backup. In case of a similar situation again, you could just get rid of it and not worry about losing your data.
