I'm usually pretty good about being cautious with emails, links and pop-ups, but I've never actually installed a reliable VPN or virus protection. I should probably start though, as technology gets more and more sophisticated. 

It was interesting to learn the differences between the types of viruses, I was aware of the names but not the specific methods hackers use to retrieve the data. 

By using multiple new methods for evading detection, malware known as GootLoader run on Java to infiltrate multiple devices through malicious files embedded into websites. When clicked on by the user, instead of the device recognizing the harmful ZIP file, the virus uses up to 1,000 archives in a chain to fool the Windows system into trusting the file. Windows unarchiving tools read the randomized sequence and expect an archive that is non-existent. 

Upon downloading, the ZIP file instantly infects devices, bypassing with evolved methods of non-detection.
