Malware beats Windows Defender: How you get hacked

• Bitdefender always skips anything that is password protected. Yes, cybersecurity professionals will tell you, you don't need any other antivirus or anti malware besides Windows Defender and using a basic Malwarebytes scan to check for malware on your system. That doesn't mean that Windows Defender is a "protect all, end all" kind of solution. Knowing what to stay away from on the internet, and what to look out for in emails, is still 100% necessary.

• Well the Flare trial didn't go so well it refuses any gmail email address. Or hotmail, or Outlook, or Proton brb buying a server, installing Linux, and creating my own email server….

• Crazy how I've always used windows defender. In my while time owning a pc. And I watch porn😂 not once have I had a virus yet. Looks like windows defender is duin its job!!!! And my sht still fast af. Boot time 9.6 seconds

• Could you do a browser security tier list?

• what sandbox product do you use to run the malware tests ? do you use VirtualBox with a host adapter?

• Does Malwarebytes detect it?

• This is why I dont like Defender's on access by default profile. I like to right click and scan files, and if the file is password protected, let me know there is a risk, dont say its malicious if it isnt, but notify me.

• Hello there, I just watched the video and you said there's no reputation check in Windows Defender. However, there is a feature called Smart App Control which does rely on reputation. This could be avoided by having this feature enabled, right?

• Screw this I’m downgrading to 98

• "Don't worry guys Defender is good enough!"
  Windows Defender:

• Dude stop sucking on your mouth and smacking your lips DIRECTLY in my ears every time you pause speaking. It's so inconsiderate and unprofessional, because it's entirely unnecessary and EASILY AVOIDABLE. You have no business using a microphone if you won't pay attention to how you speak.

• Use GNU/Linux then. problem solved. No viruses in 8 years of running GNU/Linux on all my computers. Non-free software is for jerks anyway

• anything can beat windows defender

• Bro, I always disable my windows defender after fresh installing my OS(Win7 Ult, btw) since it's basically useless~

  Not worth the ram space~

  I also disable windows update after getting the essential updates that my pc needs~

• So are all those yt videos telling us to stop using our current AV product and switch to Windows Defender wrong now? At least for now, it looks like a yes.

• Funny how tech savvy Linus tech tips got hacked by this method showing that not all tech savvy actually knows everything about pc

• So it need to put password first to get compromised.

• youtube deleted my comment.

• Why would you ever trust some random zip file with a trillion meaningless files inside it?

• The red flag here is .. "your most likely to get hacked in 2024". What? Did you notice the "email" was not the 1st thing he focused on…. so you don't need to watch 7.00min. Then you should never use MSN mail to read your email.

• So there's something about Windows defender doesn't have all its multi defense triggers activated it has one of them by default it is off if you turn that on it will so is system protection in system configuration system protection protects the os if it is off the OS will not properly protect it self it is also off by default 1 defense trigger is turned on by default and when it's off by default if you change those you can change the preferences on how they function and how often Windows defense triggers acts and what the defense triggers will do if the quarantines or deletes the file my computer does 4 scans as soon as it is on my computer's got a lot of data and a lot of software I got multiple different cyber softwares on my it's like the one I saw you use pixel x64 .. same thing with auto runs and winshirk.. I also have Malwarebytes engine I have custom dns my router it's just one of those things it's time-consuming to customize Windows defender … Windows defender does not run straight out of the box because it's crap Microsoft is lazy to fix what needs to be fixed and you also set up your notification management properly so where it won't download anything unless you're administrator setting to find…. Yes or no if you want settings change the notification management should be set on high for Windows defender

• I am windows/application maintainance engineer and interested in cyber security aka more tech savvy that regular people.
  Ease and elegance how attackers avoid windows defender without beeing suspicious is just wow.
  Thanks a lot for video.
  My guess it just goes to browsers folders and send all session tokens? And this doesn't trip any wires to ask for permissions.
  Yes session token is so easy to steal, I checked on my own account and it just works for regular sites (it didn't worked for what's app web).

• Isn't it common knowledge not to click links from email? Let alone download it. Been on pc for 30 years, this is like a blast from the past. lmao I always scan my pc and clean it before using any sensitive account online. Then erase it thoroughly when im done. And neve save their passswords.

• Linux.

• Luckily I don't use my pc for reading my emails. I also never open any emails that are not from people or businesses I already deal with.

• can pup like steal my information because malwarebytes found one in my pc?

• My YouTube account is gone after fking hacker was awable to get into my YouTube account i had 5k followers now everything is gone 😢

• There needs to be a browser option to set your cookies to expire in 3 days or something.

• Please upload the sample to virus-total.

• I wouldn't normally mention other products but, we've been using Threatlocker for a couple of years and it would stop anything like this dead in it's tracks. Just thought it would be worth mentioning if anyone is looking for something to use as protection.

• Jokes on them. I never check my email

• Thanks a lot, I'm been reciving mount of this type of email.

• Just for your info, when I watched this on YouTube it was followed by a scam investment add.

• also if you do run a thing like this keep an eye on your accounts and any sites you shop on. If you see anything pending on your bank account get to the bank right away and see someone there. They will most likely close out your old bank account and open a new one. Also use a new password for checking your bank accounts.

• It'll be fun to reverse engineer the payload, any chance there will be a video about that?

• if you turn on real time protection with norton with everything set just right you wont get those emails it will pop up as a phishing file for passwords

• Windows defender is C tier we knew this

• How about MRT?

• i wonder if they actually have a linux malware

• with every day pass ,the chance of your pc infected in increasing , now it all need to open password protected zip file to get hacked 😫

• from now ,i will never open password protected zip files

• Betcha you need Adobe PDF reader installed and an DECENT PDF viewer like SUmatra is immune to this attack.

• Q: if one Windows PC on a home wifi network is compromised by someone opening one of these PDF attachments, are other Windows PCs on the same wifi network at risk of infection?

• Well good thing I dont even trust legitimate companies emails at first

• any flare alternate? im not cybersecurity lol
  Role*
  Unfortunately at this time we cannot verify students and other non-cybersecurity professionals

• Are you claiming this malware bypasses SmartScreen?

• New rule: Never accept encripted files from untrusted sources.
