Ransomware has actually been a headache for the last 4 years. It is difficult to picture a more hazardous virus for both individual users and businesses. The algorithms utilized in Win32/Injector.CXIK (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 already exists, and possibly will exist. But that virus does not do all these bad things without delay – it can take up to a few hours to cipher all of your files. Hence, seeing the Win32/Injector.CXIK detection is a clear signal that you should begin the clearing process.

Where did I get the Win32/Injector.CXIK?

Typical methods of Win32/Injector.CXIK distribution are usual for all other ransomware examples. Those are one-day landing websites where users are offered to download and install the free program, so-called bait emails and hacktools. Bait e-mails are a relatively new method in malware spreading – you receive the e-mail that simulates some regular notifications about deliveries or bank service conditions changes. Within the email, there is a corrupted MS Office file, or a web link which opens the exploit landing page.

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

Preventing it looks quite simple, however, still needs a lot of awareness. Malware can hide in various places, and it is much better to prevent it even before it invades your system than to rely on an anti-malware program. Simple cybersecurity knowledge is just an important item in the modern world, even if your relationship with a PC stays on YouTube videos. That can keep you a lot of time and money which you would certainly spend while searching for a solution.
