Security News AtomBombing, a new threat to your Windows.

[spaceoctopus]

A few days ago Tal Liberman, a security researcher from the company enSilo revealed a new code injection technique that affects all Windows versions up to Windows 10. Due to the nature of this technique it is unlikely that it can be patched. In this article I’d like to shed light on this attack, its consequences and what can be done in order to protect ourselves...

"Not really. First, in order to use this technique malware has to be able to be executed in the machine."

Default-Deny; completely block execution in the first place.

Thanks for sharing

What troubled me is that this technique exploits a weakness of the Windows architecture and not a vulnerability and so thinking of a patch that corrects it.

AV's should already focus those different attacks like in Windows, cause there are so many references to consult how every functions works of an OS.

Using traditional antimalware + Next Gen AV is the best approach?

Be wary of Next-Gen, cause the typical backup solution goes on Hardening Protection/HIPS/Anti-Exe

A user must analyze those ewch execution, do not rely too much on automated response.
