How did the Typo ransomware get on my computer?

The Typo ransomware spreads by placing websites to download hacked programs or games. Cybercriminals who distribute this ransomware are extremely clever, and try to correspond with contemporary things. New games releases, new popular movies – Typo creators make whatever to get their money on that. One of the most preferred methods these crooks utilize is one-day sites with torrent downloading links. However, following the contemporary news is not the only way these crooks utilize. Options that have already become standard, such as email spamming, are likewise standard for STOP/Djvu ransomware spreading.

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

Preventing this ransomware does not require a lot of initiative. Following the ordinary principles of computer hygiene will significantly reduce all hazards.

However, it is better to stop the malware intrusion at the moment when you have just opened the email message. Inspecting the sender’s address can say a lot about what you can anticipate, as well as when you see the thing like “support@amazon.com”– it is likely a trustworthy email. At the same time, stuff that tries to resemble Amazon or FedEx shipping notice, however, uses the e-mail address of “amazonspurrot1363@gmail.com”– should make you get on the alarm. Above, you can see the example of such a message.

Outlaw sources of different digital things require some extra explanation. Going against copyright regulation surely exposes you to the danger of being fined. Nonetheless, using torrent trackers or third-party sites to download “free” programs also exposes you to various malware. No one can control unidentified people that start the torrent seeding or publish the hacked program version on the website with pirated program.
