Ransomware has actually been a headache for the last 4 years. It is difficult to realize a more damaging malware for both individuals and corporations. The algorithms used in TrojanDownloader.Smoke (usually, RHA-1028 or AES-256) are not hackable – with minor exclusions. To hack it with a brute force, you need a lot more time than our galaxy actually exists, and possibly will exist. However, that malware does not do all these terrible things instantly – it may require up to several hours to cipher all of your documents. Hence, seeing the TrojanDownloader.Smoke detection is a clear signal that you must begin the removal procedure.

Where did I get the TrojanDownloader.Smoke?

General ways of TrojanDownloader.Smoke distribution are common for all other ransomware variants. Those are one-day landing sites where users are offered to download the free app, so-called bait emails and hacktools. Bait e-mails are a quite new strategy in malware distribution – you get the e-mail that simulates some normal notifications about deliveries or bank service conditions updates. Within the e-mail, there is a corrupted 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 tons of focus. Malware can hide in various places, and it is far better to prevent it even before it invades your system than to rely on an anti-malware program. General cybersecurity knowledge is just an essential item in the modern world, even if your relationship with a computer remains on YouTube videos. That may save you a lot of time and money which you would spend while searching for a solution.
