This Windows security attack can take down your antivirus

Hackers have found a way to disable certain antivirus (opens in new tab) programs on Windows devices, allowing them to deploy all sorts of malware on the target devices.

Cybersecurity researchers AhnLab Security observed two such attacks last year, where the attackers found two unpatched vulnerabilities in Sunlogin, a remote-control software built by a Chinese company, and used them to deploy an obfuscated PowerShell script that disables any security products the victims might have installed.
