GandCrab Ransomware
GandCrab Ransomware is yet another file encrypting infection that was created by cyber criminals to take your money. Just like most other threats of this kind, the ransomware could slither into the targeted system using corrupted spam emails and known security backdoors, but our Anti-spyware-101.com malware researchers have found that the threat can also be spread using the RigEK exploit kit. RigEK delivers malicious payload when the victim visits an unsecure website. After this, it employs Javascript to check for any vulnerable plug-ins that could be exploited. At the time of research, the ransomware was mostly affecting Windows users in South Korea, the United States, China, and Russia, but that does not mean that you are safe if you live in a different region. If you still have time, you need to protect your operating system as soon as possible, but if the malicious infection has already invaded, you need to focus on deleting it first. If you do not know how to remove GandCrab Ransomware, you will find useful information in this report. Read more »
