This campaign exploits a Microsoft-signed kernel driver to disable 145 security endpoints, demonstrating how threat actors abuse trusted infrastructure signatures to bypass defense mechanisms. The operation highlights critical risks in supply chain trust and the efficacy of DLL side-loading techniques for achieving deep system access without triggering standard sandbox defenses. For AI and quantum readers, this underscores the necessity of robust hardware root-of-trust verification, as compromised drivers could potentially disrupt the secure execution environments required for sensitive computational workloads.
Hackers Use Microsoft-Signed Driver to Disable 145 Security Tools and Steal Passwords
Researchers uncovered a malware campaign that used a Microsoft-attested Windows kernel driver to turn off 145 antivirus and endpoint security processes, then stole passwords, cryptocurrency wallet data, browser sessions, and other sensitive information. LastPass Threat Intelligence, Mitigation, and Escalation team, working with Delphos Labs, discovered the operation after attackers impersonated LastPass Authenticator through fraudulent GitHub […] The post Hackers Use Microsoft-Signed Driver to Disable 145 Security Tools and Steal Passwords appeared first on Cyber Security News.
