Nothing directed to OP but how they discovered the malware existence if it is undetectable?

@BoraMurdar I believe, the Author at THN based it on the data from VirusTotal.

With a sprinkle of click-baiting ^^

Let's now see how AV "handle" it...more in the MW HUB.

Wonder how my Chromebooks would handle it? Oh wait.. Not impacted by it or apparently any other malware.

"Undetectable" is an unfortunate (nay stupid) term. Any fileless PE type attack is essentially "undetectable" by "traditional" means. Obviously they get detected somehow. It looks like this one take roost in the Registry and is thus fileless. Withstands re-boots. Only 2 malware apps ID this one.
