Hackers Weaponizing Free Trials of EDR to Disable Existing EDR Protections

A sophisticated attack technique was uncovered where cybercriminals exploit free trials of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) software to disable existing security protections on compromised systems.  This method, dubbed BYOEDR (Bring Your Own EDR), represents a concerning evolution in defense… Read more → The post Hackers Weaponizing Free Trials of EDR to Disable Existing EDR Protections appeared first on IT Security News.

Hackers Abuse EDR Free Trials to Bypass Endpoint Protection

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a concerning new attack vector where threat actors are exploiting free trials of endpoint detection and response (EDR) software to disable existing security protections on targeted systems. This technique, dubbed “BYOEDR” (Bring Your Own EDR), represents a sophisticated method for attackers to bypass enterprise security measures using legitimate tools. Discovery and […] The post Hackers Abuse EDR Free Tri…

‘EDR-on-EDR Violence’: Hackers turn security tools against each other

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a troubling new attack vector where threat actors are weaponizing free trials of endpoint detection and response (EDR) software to disable existing security tools — a phenomenon they’ve dubbed “EDR-on-EDR violence.” Security researchers Ezra Woods and Mike Manrod have documented a phenomenon where attackers use one security product to systematically disable another. Their findings, published in a Medium p…
