Malware can spread in many ways, including through email attachments and links, visiting infected websites, using outdated software with vulnerabilities, sharing files on local networks or removable media between devices, and through social engineering techniques like spearphishing. Spearphishing targeted emails to companies with outdated and vulnerable operating systems like Windows 7 is identified as one of the few profitable methods, as most bulk email lists are ineffective and crypting files adds complexity. The recommendation is to craft fake invoices with malicious payloads disguised as PDFs using Unicode tricks and target companies found to still use older technologies through techniques like scanning with Shodan.

Cybercriminals constantly devise innovative means to get malware onto your computer. Here are some of the most common ways that malware, including viruses, worms, Trojans, and spyware, can be spread: • Email: Cybercriminals are notorious for including malicious attachments and links in emails that appear to come from friends, reputable organizations, or other trusted sources. Some malicious emails can even infect your computer from the email client’s preview pane, without your opening or downloading an attachment or a link. • The Internet: Surfing the Web may feel like a private activity, but in fact you’re exposing your computer to unwanted contact with anyone else who has a computer and Internet access. All you have to do is visit a website or click a link and you’re a potential victim. • Outdated software: Malware crawls the Internet, looking for vulnerabilities of outmoded software to spread its influence over computer systems. Be especially careful if you’re surfing the Web with outdated software (and update with the latest versions as soon as you can), including your browsers, operating systems, or system plug-ins. • Local Area Networks (LANs): A LAN is a group of locally connected computers that can share information over a private network. If one computer becomes infected with malware, all other computers in the LAN may quickly become infected as well. • Instant messaging (IM) and peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing systems: If you’re using a client for these online activities, malware may spread to your computer. • Social networks: Malware authors take advantage of many popular social networks, infecting the massive user-data networks with worms. If a social website account is infected with a worm, just about anyone who visits a poster’s profile page could “catch” the worm on her system. • Pop-ups: Some of the most sophisticated malware spreads through well-disguised screen pop- ups that look like genuine alerts or messages. One particularly devious—and widespread —“hoax pop-up” claims to have scanned your computer and detected malware. If you attempt to remove the malware as urged, you’ll actually install the malware. • Computer storage media: Malware can be easily spread if you share computer storage media with others, such as USB drives, DVDs, and CDs. While it may seem safe to open a CD of photos from a colleague, it’s always best to scan unfamiliar files first for possible corruptions or security risks before you copy or open them. • Mobile devices: Mobile malware threats have become increasingly prevalent, as more people use their smartphones and tablets as mini-computers, helping malware problems proliferate across additional platforms.
Which Spreading is profitable?
If you wanna hear the truth, the only rentable spreading possibility, if you dont have the money for big advertising, is social engineering via spearphishing. Why emails arent profitable anymore in a big sense? Most emaillists are dead, what means overused. Most email providers will let your mail in the spam foldder AND crypting (veiling from antivirus) is epensive and or complicated.
Solution: Spearphish companies that use old OS like WIN 7, there windows defender isnt activated. You find these companies by shodan or by watching the website, if its an old tech used, then its probably the company also will use old computers.
How to spearfish: Make your own small mail list and write fake invoices. The invoice is your payload (RAT built .exe).
Swap the file extension to pdf, google “left to right override hack”.
Then send the mail and youre done. The most effective and ONLY way. Send from a clean VPN.
