Spyboy Anti-EDR Solution Shows Increasing Popularity Of Bring-Your-Own-Vulnerable-Driver Attacks
Industry impacted: Communication Services
A threat actor using the handle “Spyboy” advertised on 21 May a supposed software capable of terminating processes of AV and EDR solutions on the Russian language forum RAMP. Allegedly able to terminate most major EDRs such as Sophos, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, ESET, etc., Spyboy is selling this tool to interested parties. Research by the supposedly affected security vendors revealed that the tool is another case of the Bring-Your-Own-Vulnerable-Driver (BYOVD) tactic, already observed recently in different attack chains to bypass Endpoint Security. This particular tactic has been rising in popularity recently, with open-source resources dedicated to the subject and major eCrime actors integrating the method into their toolset.
