The AES-256 or RSA-1028 cipher it uses to cipher the documents is not decryptable with modern computers.

How did the Dfwe ransomware get on my computer?

The Dfwe ransomware spreads by posting links to download hacked programs or games. Cybercriminals that spread this ransomware are pretty foxy, and try to correspond with modern trends. New games releases, new popular films – Dfwe developers make whatever to get their money on that. One of the most popular tactics these criminals apply is one-day websites with torrent downloading links. However, following the contemporary news is not the only manner these burglars utilize. Ways that have already turned into classic, such as email spamming, are also common for STOP/Djvu ransomware spreading.

The example of email spamming that may lead to Dfwe ransomware injection

Preventing this ransomware does not require a lot of effort. Following the standard rules of computer hygiene will considerably minimize all dangers. Bear in mind that launching all documents you receive on e-mail is not a great tactic. Even worse situation is to allow macros in Microsoft Office documents. However, it is far better to prevent the malware attack at the moment when you have only opened the email message. Examining the sender’s address can point out a lot about what you can anticipate, and when you see the thing like “support@amazon.com”– it is likely a genuine email. Meanwhile, stuff that tries to look similar to Amazon or FedEx shipping alert, however, uses the email address of “amazonspurrot1363@gmail.com”– need to make you be on the alarm. Above, you can see the illustration of such a message.

Outlaw sources of various digital things require some extra description. Going against copyright regulation surely exposes you to the possibility of being fined. Nonetheless, utilizing torrent trackers or third-party sites to download “free” programs also exposes you to different malware. Nobody can control anonymous individuals that launch the torrent seeding or publish the hacked program version on the site with pirated software.
