The Spanish Internet User Security Office (OSI) reported today \u00a0a new malware that encrypts the data contained on the computer .This malware is spreading via an email with a Word file with a macro attached.<\/div>\n
\n

This malicious code encrypts the data and then asks for a “ransom” to decrypt the files.<\/p>\n

In addition, there is a risk that the purpose of this malware is not only infecting a computer, but also the systems in a company network.<\/p>\n

How could we avoid this malware?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If an user has been infected by ransomware, and his files have been encrypted, the only solution is to restore a security copy into a empty and formatted system.<\/p>\n

If that security copy does not exist, the only way to save the information is paying the money requested by the attacker.<\/p>\n

For that reason, Inprosec recommends both users and companies to follow the good practices in the field of the information security, like stablishing a security copies procedure, not opening emails from unknown sources or being careful with the received links.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
