Malware analysts are not surprised at all that this infection is still distributed by cyber criminals because the malicious macro that drops August Stealer on victims’ computers can be purchased on the dark web.

When Embrace Ransomware invades the Windows operating system, it silently downloads an encryption key and then uses it to corrupt existing personal files. The infection is unlikely to affect system files, but it is likely to go after your documents, videos, photos, archives, and other sensitive data. We really hope that you have this data backed up; otherwise, it is most likely that it is lost irreversibly. If you used an internal backup, it is possible that it was corrupted by the ransomware as well. Without a doubt, it is safest to use cloud storage or external drives; or, better yet, a combination of both to guarantee that your files are safe. Remember that malware is not the only thing that could affect your files. Also, if you use cloud storage, you have the ability to access your personal files from any device wherever you are. Needless to say, if backups exist, there should be nothing else stopping you from deleting Embrace Ransomware. If you need more information or help from our malware experts before you initiate the removal, continue reading and do not forget to use the comments section to start conversations. Read more »
