"Conclusion

Ensiko is a web shell used by an attacker that enables remote administration, file encryption, and many more features on a compromised web server. A common method to deploy web shell is exploiting web application vulnerabilities or *gaining access to an already compromised server."

It sounds like this malware targets web servers, not ordinary PCs.
