Win32/Injector.AMON Summary

Summarizingly, Win32/Injector.AMON ransomware actions in the infected system are next:

  • SetUnhandledExceptionFilter detected (possible anti-debug);
  • Dynamic (imported) function loading detected;
  • Yara rule detections observed from a process memory dump/dropped files/CAPE;
  • Creates RWX memory;
  • Reads data out of its own binary image;
  • CAPE extracted potentially suspicious content;
  • Unconventionial binary language: Russian;
  • Authenticode signature is invalid;
  • Behavioural detection: Injection (Process Hollowing);
  • Executed a process and injected code into it, probably while unpacking;
  • Behavioural detection: Injection (inter-process);
  • Ciphering the files kept on the victim’s drives — so the victim cannot check these documents;
  • Blocking the launching of .exe files of security tools
  • Blocking the launching of installation files of security tools

Ransomware has been a headache for the last 4 years. It is challenging to picture a more hazardous virus for both individual users and companies. The algorithms utilized in Win32/Injector.AMON (typically, RHA-1028 or AES-256) are not hackable – with minor exclusions. To hack it with a brute force, you need to have a lot more time than our galaxy currently exists, and possibly will exist. But that virus does not do all these bad things immediately – it can require up to a few hours to cipher all of your documents. Hence, seeing the Win32/Injector.AMON detection is a clear signal that you need to start the clearing procedure.

Where did I get the Win32/Injector.AMON?

General ways of Win32/Injector.AMON injection are usual for all other ransomware variants. Those are one-day landing websites where users are offered to download the free program, so-called bait emails and hacktools. Bait e-mails are a pretty new method in malware spreading – you get the e-mail that simulates some regular notifications about deliveries or bank service conditions modifications. Inside of the e-mail, there is a corrupted MS Office file, or a web link which leads to the exploit landing site.

Malicious email message. This one tricks you to open the phishing website.

Avoiding it looks fairly easy, but still needs a lot of focus. Malware can hide in different spots, and it is far better to prevent it even before it invades your computer than to trust in an anti-malware program. General cybersecurity knowledge is just an important item in the modern world, even if your relationship with a PC remains on YouTube videos. That may keep you a great deal of time and money which you would spend while seeking a fix guide.
