The algorithms used in Trojan:Win32/Corebot (typically, RHA-1028 or AES-256) are not hackable – with minor exclusions. To hack it with a brute force, you need to have a lot more time than our galaxy actually exists, and possibly will exist. But that virus does not do all these terrible things immediately – it can take up to a few hours to cipher all of your files. Hence, seeing the Trojan:Win32/Corebot detection is a clear signal that you need to start the removal procedure.

Where did I get the Trojan:Win32/Corebot?

Ordinary methods of Trojan:Win32/Corebot distribution are usual for all other ransomware variants. Those are one-day landing sites where victims are offered to download the free software, so-called bait emails and hacktools. Bait e-mails are a quite new method in malware spreading – you receive the email that mimics some standard notifications about deliveries or bank service conditions shifts. Inside of the email, there is a malicious MS Office file, or a link which leads to the exploit landing site.

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

Preventing it looks pretty uncomplicated, however, still needs tons of focus. Malware can hide in different spots, and it is far better to stop it even before it goes into your system than to rely on an anti-malware program. Standard cybersecurity knowledge is just an essential thing in the modern-day world, even if your relationship with a computer stays on YouTube videos. That can save you a great deal of time and money which you would spend while looking for a solution.
