[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 971246, member: 32260"] This method can be used for hacking or lateral movement. The author suggests that it does not affect other features, so the malware can still be detected on execution. If so (I did not confirm this yet), then the home users do not have to worry. Such a method will be used in targeted attacks. This method has some disadvantages for the attackers. It uses a LOLBin (curl.exe) and scripting interpreter, which can make the process tree more suspicious and trigger the AV detection. In the targeted attacks the increase of suspiciousness is balanced by more stealthy behavior. Anyway, this and several other possible methods show that Defender free on default settings is not the best solution for celebrities, dissidents, and people who can be potential targets of hackers.
