Where did I get the Ransom:Win32/StopCrypt.PBJ!MTB?

Typical tactics of Ransom:Win32/StopCrypt.PBJ!MTB distribution are usual for all other ransomware variants. Those are one-day landing sites where users are offered to download and install the free app, so-called bait e-mails and hacktools. Bait emails are a relatively new strategy in malware spreading – you get the e-mail that simulates some regular notifications about shipments or bank service conditions updates. Inside of the e-mail, there is a malicious MS Office file, or a web link which opens the exploit landing page.

Malicious email spam

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

Avoiding it looks pretty simple, but still demands a lot of awareness. Malware can hide in various places, and it is far better to prevent it even before it invades your computer than to rely on an anti-malware program. Common cybersecurity awareness is just an essential item in the modern world, even if your interaction with a computer stays on YouTube videos. That can keep you a great deal of money and time which you would spend while looking for a fix guide.
