Attackers exploit decade”‘old Windows driver flaw to shut down modern EDR defenses
The kill list excluded Huntress: The EDR killer binary used in the Huntress-observed attack packed a 64-bit Windows executable and a custom encoded kernel driver payload, which it decoded into OemHwUpd.sys and installed as a kernel-mode service. Because Windows still honors its cryptographic signature, the attackers were able to load the driver.Once the vulnerable driver…
