Ransomware has been a horror story for the last 4 years. It is hard to picture a more damaging virus for both individual users and organizations. The algorithms used in Win32/GenKryptik.GCPY (generally, RHA-1028 or AES-256) are not hackable – with minor exclusions. To hack it with a brute force, you need more time than our galaxy already exists, and possibly will exist. However, that malware does not do all these bad things instantly – it can require up to a few hours to cipher all of your documents.

Where did I get the Win32/GenKryptik.GCPY?

Typical ways of Win32/GenKryptik.GCPY spreading are basic for all other ransomware variants. Those are one-day landing websites where victims are offered to download and install the free program, so-called bait e-mails and hacktools. Bait e-mails are a quite modern method in malware spreading – you get the e-mail that imitates some normal notifications about shippings or bank service conditions updates. Within the email, there is a corrupted 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, however, still demands tons of focus. Malware can hide in different spots, and it is much better to prevent it even before it gets into your system than to depend on an anti-malware program. Simple cybersecurity awareness is just an essential thing in the modern world, even if your interaction with a computer stays on YouTube videos. That may keep you a lot of time and money which you would spend while looking for a fixing guide.
