Your Favorite Website Could Be Spreading Ransomware via Malvertising

As we are becoming more accustomed to internet, it is becoming an integral part of our everyday life. But, along with this change, there lies the danger of losing the online private information and identity.

We save multiple personal information on different websites, these include: bank details, address, phone number, photos, videos, files etc. A huge fraction of these data is constantly at the risk of getting infected, stolen, and exploited. At continual time intervals, the hackers/cyber-criminals become able to breach into the data base of one or two websites, or they become able to find and exploit vulnerability present in one or two websites. 

Besides these, there are many websites and links that spread malware, trojan, and/or viruses. Recent enough Cisco Systems reported that several popular websites, including Facebook and Disney etc., have been compromised to show infected advertisements that download ransomware in the victim’s system. According to the investigation ran by Cisco, it was found out that in the last month there has been an increase in sites compromised by criminals who use RIG exploit kit. The company found out that many of the websites that have been compromised by RIG have been spreading a ransomware via Malvertising (advertisements that have been compromised).

The ransomware reported in this Cisco investigation was the notorious CryptoLocker. CryptoLocker is the most notorious ransomware and encrypts the whole data of victim’s PC and then demands a ransom to free the data. Obviously, you don’t want your data to get encrypted. Moreover, paying the criminals upfront is also not advisable, because there’s no guarantee that after getting paid the criminals will free your data. Installing a comprehensive antivirus can help you to stop all kinds of attacks including ransomware attacks. There are multiple good antivirus software that you can choose from.

Additionally, staying in contact with experts also helps, as they can provide you the best antivirussupport as you require.

So it has become easier for the users to easily avail support.
