It works like Emotet and other types of malware loaders. The Buer malware loader uses a stolen certificate that was issued by a Poland-based developer. The certificate helps it to avoid detection. Buer also analyzes the attack environment to determine the presence of debugging software to make certain its presence can’t be easily traced through computer forensics after the attack.
Protecting your system from ransomware attacks
Cybersecurity is not just for big companies.
In order to protect from a Buer malware attack, the user is the first line of defense. It’s important that you remain cautious regarding phishing attacks. If there is any question don’t open that email. Or with Buer be vigilant about your Google Docs.
If you don’t expect an email, don’t open that email. If you don’t know who an email is from, don’t open it. If you didn’t create the google document, don’t open it!
Make sure your system has the latest antivirus software installed. All your devices that go online need ransomware protection. Good ransomware protection software includes Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, AVG Antivirus, Avast Antivirus, Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus, ESET NOD32 Antivirus.
