Toec Ransomware
Summary
Spam emails used for propagating ransomware threats often contain a message riddled with social engineering tricks whose goal is to induce the user into opening the attached file. Needless to say, the attachment carries the corrupted file of the file-locking Trojan, and opening it would infect your system. Some of the other common methods of distributing ransomware threats include bogus application updates, fake pirated copies of popular software tools and torrent trackers. This is used as proof that the attackers are in possession of a working decryption key and are capable of reversing the damage done to the users data. Despite promising you to provide you with the decryption key you need, if you pay them, they will likely lose interest in cooperating as soon as they receive the money.
