Ransomware has actually been a nightmare for the last 4 years. It is hard to imagine a more damaging malware for both individual users and organizations. The algorithms used in Win32/Injector.WGU (generally, 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 currently 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 documents. Hence, seeing the Win32/Injector.WGU detection is a clear signal that you need to begin the clearing procedure.

Where did I get the Win32/Injector.WGU?

Typical methods of Win32/Injector.WGU injection are standard for all other ransomware examples. Those are one-day landing sites where users are offered to download the free app, so-called bait e-mails and hacktools. Bait emails are a relatively new strategy in malware distribution – you receive the email that simulates some regular notifications about shippings or bank service conditions changes. Within the e-mail, there is an infected MS Office file, or a link which opens the exploit landing page.

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

Preventing it looks pretty easy, but still demands tons of awareness. Malware can hide in various spots, and it is better to prevent it even before it gets into your computer than to rely upon an anti-malware program. Standard cybersecurity awareness is just an important item in the modern-day world, even if your interaction with a computer stays on YouTube videos. That can keep you a lot of money and time which you would spend while looking for a solution.
