“The attackers also exploit the legitimate VLC Media Player by launching a custom loader via the VLC Exports function, and use the WinVNC tool for remote control of victim machines.” Symantec’s Security Threat Intelligence blog mentions the following statement. One of these tools is a modified version of the popular open source media player, VLC. Hackers distributed a modified version of VLC to use it for triggering a custom malware loader But there are many others for whom using another app is the safest and simplest solution.Ghacks : Symantec says that hackers distributed a modified version of VLC and exploited it for malware attacks The computer savvy folks are not even 0.5% of the pc user base, so it's wrong for us to scoff at decisions like this.
It's not like I haven't seen thousands of systems and seen at least windows defender on each of them.
However, windows defender is there since Win7 and that's prebuilt antimalware 99% are not going to disable unless a) they have better security or b) they're geeks (not more than 1%).Īre you just acting entitled, because I am surprised at your post. Now there is a significant population on Win7, but Win7 is not sold on new PCs anymore, you can't buy it unless you go to a cd key online shop. If you don't use the internet, then Cicada can't really transmit stuff can it, even if it does get on the PC? If you believe more than 5% of users tweak services and registry to cap updating, I've got bridges to sell you. If you do use the internet, you do know MS made it really hard to disable updates Win8 onwards.
