Where did I get the Ransom:Win32/Yanluow.STA?

General methods of Ransom:Win32/Yanluow.STA distribution are usual for all other ransomware variants. Those are one-day landing websites where users are offered to download the free program, so-called bait e-mails and hacktools. Bait e-mails are a quite modern strategy in malware distribution – you get the e-mail that imitates some normal notifications about deliveries or bank service conditions changes. Inside of the e-mail, there is an infected MS Office file, or a link which leads to the exploit landing page.

Malicious email spam

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

Preventing it looks quite uncomplicated, but still needs a lot of attention. Malware can hide in different places, and it is better to stop it even before it goes into your computer than to trust in an anti-malware program. Standard cybersecurity knowledge is just an important thing in the modern world, even if your relationship with a computer remains on YouTube videos. That can keep you a great deal of time and money which you would certainly spend while trying to find a solution.
