The Mytransitguide redirect can infect computer victims using different methods. The hacker campaign can be tweaked into optimizing the infection ratio by carefully selecting the best strategy. The hackers need to have an idea of the intended targets and the scope of potential victims before launching such organized attack strains.
Mytransitguide browser hijackers are currently being offered to potential victims using several different strategies. The majority of the successful intrusions are due to malicious browser addons. They are usually made for the most popular web applications: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari and Microsoft Edge. Upon installation they change important settings to redirect to the main Mytransitguide site, including the default home page, search engine and new tabs page.
Such instances are distributed through different channels, including malware Chrome Web Store plugins. We have detected an active extension that bears the name of the site. The overview page lists a screenshot and an elaborate description that highlights how useful it may be for the victims. Other versions of the Mytransitguide redirect can also be imposed on other browsers with similar software.
The other popular tactic is the use of email spam messages. They use social engineering tactics to make the victims infect themselves with the malware themselves. Depending on the type of tactic there can be several ways of malware email distribution:
File Attachments ‒ Mytransitguide browser hijackers can be delivered directly to the victims as file attachments.
Hyperlinks ‒ The hackers can utilize the body contents to deliver the dangerous strains via links.
Payload Delivery ‒ The attachments of payloads that indirectly deliver the Mytransitguide hijacker to the victims.
The criminals can also employ web scripts, ad networks and other instances to deliver the threat. Take note that payload delivery is another option that is becoming more and more popular over time. This tactic is used to embed malicious code into carriers that are distributed to the intended victims. The two most popular cases are the software installers and the documents.
Infected Software Installers ‒ The hackers customize popular free or trial versions of famous applications to include the malware code. They are then distributed using hacker sites, emails and other methods to spread them to the victims.
Documents ‒ Various documents of user interest can serve as browser hijacker payloads. The hackers embed the malware code in popular file types including rich text documents, spreadsheets and databases. When they are opened the victims will see that a pop-up notification that requests them to enable the built-in scripts. If this is done the Mytransitguide is instituted on the victim’s computer.
Mytransitguide – In-Depth Overview
The Mytransitguide redirect is imposed on the users as they interact with the malware code using one of the methods listed above. As soon as it is installed the affected browsers will have important settings changed. This includes the default home page, new tabs page and search engine. All of them will point to the hacker-designated page which can be changed dynamically by the users.
The purposed site is operated by MindSpark, a company which is well-known for creating hundreds of related add-ons and similar software that change important settings of the target computers.
The main page displays a graphic bearing the site’s name. Below it lies a search engine that is used to make the victims use it. Its interesting to note that the site does feature a transportation assist function which is probably integrated from a third-party provider.
The top bar features links to popular Internet services and other related sites and portals. Note tht interaction with the site leads to serious security and privacy issues.
The Mytransitguide redirect can be re purposed to lead to other sites, copies of it can also be modified further to include viruses and ransomware strains.
Mytransitguide – Privacy Policy
The privacy policy and the terms of use documents showcase the dangers of interacting with the site. Like other sites that are part of the Mindspark network the site may present other products or offers. According to the privacy policy user interaction with the site may lead to the production of pop-ups or the imposition of other software.
The users acknowledge the rights of the software to modify the settings of the installed web browsers (they use the term “reset”) and place links to other Mindspark products and sites. This means that as well as modifying the bookmarks and settings the criminals may also insert new content.
As part of the browser hijacker several other components are added to the system, all of which have their end-user licenses and privacy policies. Some of them include the following:
DailyImageBoard ‒ Another malicious browser plugin that has the capacity to interact with Pinterest accounts.
EliteUnzip ‒ Another Mindspark-operated addon.
UnzipApp ‒ A dangerous browser hijacker.
Dezipper ‒ Mindspark-powered toolbar.
GoUnzip ‒ Malicious browser hijacker.
7-Zip ‒ An open-source archiving software.
Another real threat is the fact that the Mytransitguide collects personally-identifiable information on the victims via tracking cookies. They are used to monitor the victims behavior in real time. In combination with powerful data extraction technology the browser hijacker can gain information about the user. Examples of this include the following: names, real names, nicknames, email addresses, phone numbers, location, interests, search queries and etc.
Note that the data can be shared with other products and services, as well as third-parties and partners. Market agencies often acquire large databases with the above-mentioned information for their own use.

Step 5 (Optional): Try to Restore Files Encrypted by Mytransitguide.
Ransomware infections and Mytransitguide aim to encrypt your files using an encryption algorithm which may be very difficult to decrypt. This is why we have suggested several alternative methods that may help you go around direct decryption and try to restore your files. Bear in mind that these methods may not be 100% effective but may also help you a little or a lot in different situations.
Method 1: Scanning your drive’s sectors by using Data Recovery software. Another method for restoring your files is by trying to bring back your files via data recovery software. Here are some suggestions for preferred data recovery software solutions:
Method 2: Trying Kaspersky and EmsiSoft’s decryptors. If the first method does not work, we suggest trying to use decryptors for other ransomware viruses, in case your virus is a variant of them. The two primary developers of decryptors are Kaspersky and EmsiSoft, links to which we have provided below:
To restore your data in case you have backup set up, it is important to check for Volume Shadow Copies, if ransomware has not deleted them, in Windows using the below software:
Method 4: Finding the decryption key while the cryptovirus sends it over a network via a sniffing tool.
Another way to decrypt the files is by using a Network Sniffer to get the encryption key, while files are encrypted on your system. A Network Sniffer is a program and/or device monitoring data traveling over a network, such as its internet traffic and internet packets. If you have a sniffer set before the attack happened you might get information about the decryption key. See how-to instructions below:
