What is Dridex?
Dridex is a serious Trojan that might slither onto your computer without your permission. One of the main aims of this infection is to steal banking credentials. It is very likely that Dridex is also interested in logins and user names of several social media websites. This infection might have entered your system some time ago; however, it is very likely that you have not noticed its presence until now because Dridex tends to run in the background and do various undesirable activities behind your back. It is very important that you delete Dridex from your computer because this infection might steal your banking credentials and use them for bad purposes, for instance, to take over your bank account.
How does Dridex act?
Cridex, Feodo, and Bugat are other versions of Dridex; thus, you should be very cautious in order not to encounter similar infections in the future. The researchers at anti-spyware-101.com have tested Dridex and found out that it is mainly distributed via spam email attachments. Thus, if you ever notice a message sent from Evernote or Evernote message center, you should delete it from your e-mail straightaway without opening it. It is especially true if the subject line of the message is “File has been sent”.
If it happens that you have already opened the message, you must have noticed an attachment named DSC_X.ZIP (7 random numbers instead of X). It might seem that this attachment is a simple PDF file; however, the truth is that it is an executable file that will download Dridex onto your computer. As you have probably understood, it is very important that you make sure whether it is safe to download the attachment. Actually, you should refrain from opening spam email attachments in the future because, in most cases, malicious software is distributed via them.
