Controlled folder access only works for folders listed in Controlled Folder Access and Desktop isn't included in the defaults, you have to add that manually to protect that folder. I agree with @oldschool though, result as expected.

I use Defender. Ask me if I care about this video?
It can't be that hard to make a video of any AV being breached if you know what you are doing. Some do it because they have a bias against a certain software. ( Not saying that is the case in this video.)

What happens when the samples are modified and slip right past your now expensive security suites you had to have because you do not trust windows security
Executable's and scripts, both of which need to be initiated. Both of which could be uploaded to

Before execution.
Not to mention Imaging software to restore the whole system should something like this bypass "ANY" security you may have in place, oh and do not forget offline backups of personal files ect so as to not lose those during any process.

I think SAC could help, but it is deactivated and cannot be reactivated on many computers.... If MS could create an option to enable or disable it at will, that might increase security. Agree: but there is WHHL to the rescue (with WDAC-ISG and SRP blocking risky file extensions which use...

You remind me, I need to find a free imaging backup program. I do weekly personal files backup but need to find one for quarterly disk imaging.

I didn't know that, thanks. Nothing against him or his videos, I just could care less about the results of these types of videos, I even occasionally watch them.

Only built-in Windows Security. These videos never (rarely?) discuss how users are initially infected via all the various attack vectors.
I agree Simple Windows Hardening blocks 99,99% of these attacks.

Too bad he is not using the advanced (hidden) settings of MS Defender. I can be a big difference. I know most of the MS Defender users are not using regkeys, GPO's, DefenderUI or an other tool to tweak MS Defender. Microsoft can add these easy in the Defender UI.

Backups help in restoring systems but don't help reverse any data theft.
Meanwhile, why isn't Microsoft turning on these hidden settings by default?

Usability, if I had to guess. They're fine for us techies that are able to deal with any false positives that crop up, but good luck guiding your 60-year old mother through adding a file path to exclusions via powershell.

Nope but they ensure you don't lose anything. Data theft is as simple as what you divulge, since no one can guarantee it's safety.
