'GodDamn' Ransomware Uses BYOVD to Smite US Companies

A malicious kernel driver co-signed by Microsoft is being utilized in ransomware attacks to disable security software. This driver is being used by the GodDamn ransomware to evade detection and successfully carry out attacks, primarily targeting US companies. The driver's co-signing by Microsoft allows it to appear as a legitimate component, making it more difficult for security measures to identify and block it. As a result, the GodDamn ransomware is able to effectively neutralize security software, increasing its chances of a successful attack. The use of this co-signed driver is a notable aspect of the GodDamn ransomware's tactics.
