Where did I get the Ransom:Win32/Mimic.MA!MTB?

Routine methods of Ransom:Win32/Mimic.MA!MTB injection are typical for all other ransomware examples. Those are one-day landing sites where users are offered to download and install the free program, so-called bait e-mails and hacktools. Bait emails are a pretty new tactic in malware distribution – you receive the email that mimics some standard notifications about shippings or bank service conditions modifications. Inside of the email, there is an infected MS Office file, or a 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 simple, however, still demands tons of attention. Malware can hide in different places, and it is better to stop it even before it invades your PC than to rely on an anti-malware program. Simple cybersecurity awareness is just an important thing in the modern world, even if your interaction with a PC stays on YouTube videos. That can keep you a lot of money and time which you would spend while looking for a solution.
