Those are one-day landing websites where users are offered to download the free program, so-called bait emails and hacktools. Bait emails are a pretty new tactic in malware spreading – you get the e-mail that mimics some routine notifications about shipments or bank service conditions updates. Inside of the e-mail, there is an infected MS Office file, or a web 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 easy, however, still demands a lot of attention. Malware can hide in different spots, and it is better to stop it even before it goes into your computer than to rely upon an anti-malware program. Basic cybersecurity knowledge is just an essential thing in the modern world, even if your relationship with a PC stays on YouTube videos. That may keep you a great deal of time and money which you would certainly spend while searching for a solution.
