We are experiencing a technological revolution that allows us to enjoy all kinds of products we previously thought impossible, such as folding phones, smart glasses. The problem is, those who love other things have stepped up phishing, ransomware, and malware attacks to infect your computers. Certainly, Windows is one of the most hacked systems as it is the most used system.

We have now learned of the existence of a being through Yildiz. New ransomware that looks like a windows update to infect your computer. As reported, this new virus appears to only attempt to attack users in Singapore, but we don’t think it will take long for it to cross its borders.

We have already mentioned other ransomware that works similarly. For example, you may receive an email from WHO that hides a dangerous program that will quickly infect your desktop or laptop computer, and asks for a ransom if you want to recover the information.

Magniber, dangerous ransomware that wants to infect your computer

Seems like, ransomware is called Magniber and when it infects a user’s computer that has been tricked into thinking they’ve updated their computer, that’s when it starts acting up. And as you’ll see later, it’s pretty dangerous.

In this way, Magniber will allow hackers to access all personal data on the computer. For example, They can break into your social networks, your bank accounts… A real danger.

This ransomware downloaded by email It is easily identifiable as it has no known sender besides adding a fake link to the Windows OS update, but if you get lost you can unintentionally hit it.

However, after downloading the virus, A ransom note will appear, forcing you to pay in cryptocurrencies to regain control of your computer.As we mentioned, it’s currently only detected in Singapore, but we don’t think it will take long for it to spread to other regions.

Therefore, all you can do now is to take preventive measures if you want to avoid a possible infection. To do this, in addition to always seeing who is the sender of an email you receive and not opening any links, we recommend that you have an antivirus enabled on your computer (the one that comes with Windows is very good). I’m not sure it’s virus free.
