Summarizingly, Mal/EncPk-F malware activities in the infected computer are next:

The algorithms used in Mal/EncPk-F (generally, RHA-1028 or AES-256) are not hackable – with minor exclusions. To hack it with a brute force, you need to have a lot more time than our galaxy actually exists, and possibly will exist.

Where did I get the Mal/EncPk-F?

Standard tactics of Mal/EncPk-F distribution are basic for all other ransomware examples. Those are one-day landing websites where users are offered to download and install the free software, so-called bait emails and hacktools. Bait e-mails are a quite new tactic in malware spreading – you receive the e-mail that simulates some regular notifications about deliveries or bank service conditions changes. Inside of the e-mail, there is a malicious MS Office file, or a link which leads to the exploit landing page.

Malicious email message. This one tricks you to open the phishing website.

Preventing it looks pretty uncomplicated, but still needs tons of recognition. Malware can hide in different places, and it is better to prevent it even before it invades your system than to trust in an anti-malware program. General cybersecurity knowledge is just an important thing in the modern-day world, even if your interaction with a PC remains on YouTube videos. That may save you a lot of time and money which you would spend while searching for a fixing guide.
