Go to SolutionRussian malware?
Hello, Just on the Channel 4 news here in UK (TV) informs of a major Russian based computer malware causing over half a billion pounds either stolen or taken away as ransom after taking over control of computers either home or businesses. I am naturally very concerned after listening to the following. Cyber crime expert Don Smith shows Channel 4 News how criminals remotely get into your computer ("they almost certainly have better access to your computer than you do") in order to steal "hard cash. I do not know if you could watch the above from out side UK. However as I understood from the news discussion that an e-mail with attachment arrives and when open the attachment the computer opened on will be under the control of this gang. It goes on to inform how they ask ransom to access to folders on that computer, able to watch the user by remotely accessing their camera ect. I have not opened any such e-mails or attachments. But naturally very concerned if I am a victim? I am running my free version of the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. I have regularly updated MS Security Essentials. Is there any other techniques I need to do to see if mine is infected or free from an attack? Thank you for your input, in advance I wish to say. Regards
