1. Upgrade Cybersecurity Systems:
    • Users and organizations must adopt advanced security tools that can detect and mitigate polymorphic malware, such as heuristic and behavior-based detection systems, which do not rely solely on fixed virus signatures.
  2. Be Cautious with Emails and Downloads:
    • Avoid clicking on suspicious email links or downloading files from untrusted sources. Verify the legitimacy of emails, especially those containing attachments or links, before engaging.
  3. Enable Multi-Layered Security:
    • Use advanced antivirus programs and enable firewalls that provide multiple layers of defense. Ensure that software updates are regularly applied to patch vulnerabilities.
  4. Monitor Network Activity:
    • Regularly monitor network traffic for unusual activity. Consider implementing a network intrusion detection system (IDS) to identify abnormal behaviour that could indicate a malware infection.
  5. Use Strong Authentication:
    • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all accounts to add an additional layer of protection, particularly for online banking and financial services.
  6. Report Suspicious Activities:
    • If you suspect a system compromise, contact local authorities or cyber cell to investigate the issue immediately and prevent further damage.
