After the WannaCry ransomware, now we have the WannaMine malware. WannaMine is a fileless malware that infects Windows-based computers with the purpose of using the computer’s resources, such as CPU and RAM to mine a cryptocurrency called Moreno. Any coins mined will be transferred to the developers of this malware. It uses the same exploit developed by NSA, called EternalBlue that was used for the WannaCry ransomware. Panda Security was the first to discover this malware several months ago. Both Sophos and Panda claim to protect against this malware, but you need to also ensure you're taking the necessary steps to protect your computer against this attack.

When you delete a file, whether you right-click on the file and hit the Delete command or whether you press the Del button on your keyboard, the deleted file gets transferred in your Recycle Bin. Then from there you have to open the Recycle Bin and click on the Empty Recycle Bin in order to permanently delete the file, and free space on your hard drive. This is done in cases of accidental deletions, and gives you the option to restore the file. In this tutorial, you will learn how to bypass the Recycle Bin so that the file gets deleted permanently from the first command.
