Summarizingly, NSIS/Injector.MK virus activities in the infected PC are next:

  • Behavioural detection: Executable code extraction – unpacking;
  • Sample contains Overlay data;
  • Reads data out of its own binary image;
  • CAPE extracted potentially suspicious content;
  • Authenticode signature is invalid;
  • Creates a known Cerber ransomware decryption instruction / key file.;
  • Collects information to fingerprint the system;
  • Yara rule detections observed from a process memory dump/dropped files/CAPE;
  • Ciphering the documents located on the target’s disks — so the victim cannot check these documents;
  • Blocking the launching of .exe files of anti-malware apps

Ransomware has been a headache for the last 4 years. It is challenging to realize a more harmful malware for both individuals and organizations. The algorithms used in NSIS/Injector.MK (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. However, that virus does not do all these bad things without delay – it may take up to several hours to cipher all of your files. Thus, seeing the NSIS/Injector.MK detection is a clear signal that you must begin the elimination procedure.

Where did I get the NSIS/Injector.MK?

Ordinary tactics of NSIS/Injector.MK spreading are basic for all other ransomware variants. Those are one-day landing sites where users are offered to download and install the free software, so-called bait emails and hacktools. Bait e-mails are a pretty modern strategy in malware distribution – you get the email that mimics some routine notifications about deliveries or bank service conditions modifications. Within the e-mail, there is a malicious MS Office file, or a link which opens the exploit landing site.

Malicious email spam

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

Preventing it looks quite uncomplicated, but still demands tons of focus. Malware can hide in various spots, and it is much better to stop it even before it invades your PC than to rely upon an anti-malware program. Standard cybersecurity awareness is just an essential thing in the modern-day world, even if your relationship with a PC stays on YouTube videos. That can keep you a lot of time and money which you would spend while seeking a solution.
