[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1016715, member: 32260"] It can be not the lowest-hanging fruit due to points 1-3 from my previous post. If you recall, I used a similar and far more devastating attack vector to test Defender: loader/orchestrator ----> UAC bypass ----> kill Defender ----> run any malware (even 10 years old). [URL unfurl="true"]https://malwaretips.com/threads/windows-defender-disabled-by-malware.107622/post-941017[/URL] The fruits in this attack were placed much lower compared to the attack from the video, especially against home users - points 1-3 were bypassed too. The attack vector was well-known for years, and was probably never used in widespread attacks. Currently, killing Defender in this way is not possible because of improved Tamper Protection. Microsoft did it, because read teams included this method in their arsenal in the summer of 2021. [/QUOTE]
