[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 926289, member: 32260"] The idea of adding Defender exclusions can be dangerous in targeted attacks. It seems rather stupid in the wide-spread attacks: [LIST=1] [*]The computer is already highly compromised, because malware has got high privileges. [*]Adding exclusions by the malware do not stop the behavior monitoring (protected by Tamper Protection), so the malware can be still detected in the cloud. [*]Adding exclusions increases the chances of the proper detection in the cloud. [/LIST] In the targeted attacks, this method can be used for lateral movement and can increase the time of penetrating the Enterprise network until finally it will be detected by Defender. In the case of the IOBIT malware, the attacker did not get any gain of adding exclusions. [/QUOTE]
