Ransomware has been a nightmare for the last 4 years. It is challenging to realize a more harmful malware for both individual users and organizations. The algorithms used in Win32/GenKryptik.GJID (generally, RHA-1028 or AES-256) are not hackable – with minor exclusions. To hack it with a brute force, you need to have more time than our galaxy actually 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 files. Therefore, seeing the Win32/GenKryptik.GJID detection is a clear signal that you should begin the elimination procedure.

Where did I get the Win32/GenKryptik.GJID?

Typical methods of Win32/GenKryptik.GJID distribution are basic for all other ransomware examples. Those are one-day landing websites where victims are offered to download and install the free program, so-called bait emails and hacktools. Bait e-mails are a pretty modern method in malware spreading – you receive the email that imitates some normal notifications about shipments or bank service conditions modifications. Inside of the e-mail, there is a corrupted MS Office file, or a web link which leads to the exploit landing site.

Malicious email spam

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

Preventing it looks quite easy, however, still requires tons of awareness. Malware can hide in different spots, and it is much better to stop it even before it invades your PC than to rely upon 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 save you a lot of time and money which you would certainly spend while seeking a solution.
