How does file encrypting malware spread

The majority of ransomware rely on the most primitive spread methods, which include attaching corrupted files to emails and displaying malicious advertisements. Nevertheless, it’s possible for data encrypting malicious program to use more elaborate methods.

If you are able to remember opening a file which you obtained from an apparently legitimate email in the spam folder, that might be why your files are now encrypted. Cyber crooks add an infected file to an email, which is then sent to many people. Those emails might be written in a convincing way, usually covering money topics, which is why people open them in the first place. In addition to grammatical mistakes, if the sender, who certainly knows your name, uses greetings like Dear User/Customer/Member and puts strong pressure on you to open the file added, you have to be cautious. To make it more clear, if someone important sends you a file, they would use your name, not common greetings, and you would not need to search for the email in the spam folder. It wouldn’t be surprising if you see names such as Amazon or PayPal used, as that would make users trust the email much more. It is also likely that you pressed on some dangerous advertisement when on a dubious site, or obtained something from an unreliable website. Be very cautious about which advertisements you engage with, especially when on suspicious websites. Or you may have downloaded a ransomware-infected file from a questionable source. Sources such as ads and pop-ups are not good sources, so never download anything from them. If an application was in need of an update, you would be notified through the program itself, not via your browser, and usually they update without your interference anyway.

What does it do?

Due to ransomware’s ability to permanently lock you out of your data, it’s classified to be a highly harmful threat. And it will take minutes, if not seconds, for all your important files to become encrypted. You will notice that your files have an extension attached to them, which will help you figure out which data encoding malicious software you’re dealing with. Ransomware will use strong encryption algorithms, which might be impossible to break. You ought to then see a ransom note, which should explain the situation. It will tell you the sum you are expected to pay for a decryption tool, but buying it isn’t something we recommend doing. Remember that you’re dealing with crooks, and what’s stopping them from simply taking your money. By paying, you would not be just risking losing your money, you would also be supporting their future projects. Although it is understandable, by giving into the requests, people are making data encrypting malicious software a highly successful business, which already made $1 billion in 2016, and evidently that attracts many people to it. A better choice would be some kind of backup, which would store copies of your files if something happened to the original. And if a similar infection occurred again, you wouldn’t be endangering your files. If you are not planning on complying with the requests, proceed to delete TBlocker ransomware in case it is still running. If you become familiar with how these infections spread, you should learn to dodge them in the future.
