Where did I get the Ransom:Win32/Conti.ZCI!dha?

Typical ways of Ransom:Win32/Conti.ZCI!dha distribution are usual for all other ransomware examples. Those are one-day landing websites where users are offered to download the free app, so-called bait e-mails and hacktools. Bait emails are a quite modern tactic in malware distribution – you get the e-mail that imitates some routine notifications about deliveries or bank service conditions modifications. Inside of the email, there is an infected MS Office file, or a web link which leads to the exploit landing site.

Malicious email spam

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

Avoiding it looks fairly easy, but still requires a lot of attention. Malware can hide in various places, and it is much better to stop it even before it goes into your system than to rely on an anti-malware program. Basic cybersecurity knowledge is just an essential item in the modern world, even if your relationship with a computer remains on YouTube videos. That can keep you a lot of time and money which you would spend while seeking a fixing guide.
