Malware bypasses EDR protection programs

B2B Cyber ​​Security ShortNews

Cybercriminals are always finding new ways to achieve their goals. The Embargo ransomware group, which was already observed in June 2024, uses sophisticated malware that can bypass and deactivate certain endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions - with the help of a driver. Bypassing certain endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions is made possible by cleverly exploiting safe mode and a vulnerable driver. Once the security software has been paralyzed, the criminals steal valuable data from the computer and encrypt it. They also threaten to publish the stolen information and demand a ransom. Users of ESET's EDR and MDR solutions are not affected and are safe....

SIEM strategy for modern cybersecurity Image: Bing - AI

The threat situation in cyberspace continues to escalate. Cyber ​​criminals are acting more and more professionally. They offer ransomware kits in an affiliate model and sell stolen access data on the darknet. Spear phishing and whaling attacks on executives are continuing to increase. But there are solutions for zero trust with SIEM, SOAR and XDR solutions - or everything combined under one platform. In order to detect cyber attacks at an early stage, they need modern security technologies and fast response processes. A zero trust approach is now considered the standard for IT security. It is based on the principle of "trust no one" and requires constant checking of access. Central elements are identity and...

B2B Cyber ​​Security ShortNews

A new attacker is exploiting the Bitlocker functions in Windows and turning the internal encryption function into ransomware. Although the attack is relatively simple using a script, it is extremely dangerous because the attacker uses ShrinkLocker to encrypt all hard drive data. Attackers always find creative ways to bypass defenses and achieve their goals. This can be done using packers, crypters and code obfuscation. However, one of the best ways to avoid detection and maximize compatibility is to take advantage of the operating system's own features. This way, the attackers can ensure that the malware…

EDR analysis: When and where do attackers usually knock? Image by Tung Lam on Pixabay

Barracuda security researchers analyzed the top Extended Detection and Response (XDR) detections of 2023, based on proprietary data supported by a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC). The results reveal the most common ways attackers tried – and failed – to gain persistent access to networks. In 2023, 66.000 high-risk threats were detected that were serious enough to require referral to SOC analysts for investigation, and an additional 15.000 that required urgent, immediate response. Both threat categories saw a steady increase throughout the year, peaking in October, November and December…

BYOVD (Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver) is still very popular among threat actors as an EDR killer. One reason is that it poses the risk of a kernel-level attack, which gives cybercriminals a wide range of options - from hiding malware to spying on login credentials to trying to deactivate the EDR solutions. Sophos security specialists Andreas Klopsch and Matt Wixey have taken a close look at what is happening with the Terminator tools over the last six months and published a report entitled "It'll be back: Attackers still abusing Terminator...
