YES, I’VE TRIED MALWAREBYTES
Revealing the ‘God Mode’ Rootkit that Stayed Undetected for a Decade
Apt41 followed me home 10 years ago and Voldemort is still here
Update: in addition to all of this, my installation of the Voldemort malware is using ActiveX to modify dll files to obsfuticate malicious code and maybe more. Using Emsisoft Hijack Free I was able to see what was running. Still trying to make sense of what does whst.
It’s also using the Omaha policy updater used in Chromium based browsers to disguise its communications. What is it communicating? Beats me, but I’ll figure it out.
For last 10 years, I’ve suspected my home network was infected by malware. Last week, my suspicions were confirmed. There’s nothing I can do about it except document it. You may have heard about the new Voldemort malware, but you haven’t heard this.
I’m a journalist formerly employed in IT. People like me aren’t supposed to come in contact with nation state grade malware like this. It’s not new, but it is rare. It’s nearly undetectable and impossible to remove.
I didn’t understand what I was looking at until a few weeks ago. There is no known malware with these capabilities. I’ve been called paranoid, stupid, wrong, and crazy…
