3.2 Recommendations for Protection

For this Trojan virus, Antiy recommends the following protective measures:

(1) Install terminal anti-virus software: It is recommended to use host anti-virus and protection products such as Antiy Intelligent Endpoint Protection System that use the AVL SDK engine. It is recommended that users of Antiy IEP enable the ransomware defense tool module (enabled by default).

(2) Enhance password strength: Avoid using weak passwords. It is recommended to use 16-character or longer passwords, including combinations of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. At the same time, avoid using the same password on multiple servers.

(3) Regularly change passwords: Change system passwords regularly to avoid password leaks that may lead to system intrusions;

(4) Timely update patches: It is recommended to enable the automatic update function to install system patches. System patches should be updated in a timely manner for vulnerable parts such as servers, databases, and middleware.

(5) Close high-risk ports: Adopt the minimization principle to external services and close unused high-risk ports such as 3389, 445, 139, and 135.

(6) Email security: Handle suspicious emails carefully to avoid downloading unknown attachments or clicking on unfamiliar links.

(7) Disable PowerShell: If you are not using the PowerShell command-line tool, it is recommended to disable it.

(8) Regular data backup: Regularly back up important files, and the backed-up data should be isolated from the host.

Appendix: Introduction to Antiy AVL SDK Anti-Virus Engine

Antiy AVL SDK anti-virus engine is a threat detection capability middleware developed by Antiy for all architectures and system platforms. By embedding the AVL SDK, Antiy products and ecosystem partners’ products can acquire virus and malicious code detection capabilities, and receive continuous updates through the virus database.

For eight malicious code categories including infectious viruses, worms, Trojans, hacking tools, gray software, risky software, junk files, and test files, it accurately identifies and detects over 50,000 families and 18 million malicious code variants. The detection capability fully covers all known malicious codes and strictly adheres to the CARO convention. The output is structured and named in sections by classification, environment, and family, and based on the behavioral capabilities of malicious samples, it outputs nearly a hundred types of malicious behavior tags for typical malicious behaviors such as encryption ransomware, data theft, remote control, botnet programs, and mining. Antiy Engine can recognize over 300 file formats and conduct in-depth preprocessing on compilable executable formats such as PE and ELF. It also performs recursive unpacking of various packages (including self-extracting archives), and conduct structural analysis of compound documents such as OFFICE and ACAD files that may contain embedded scripts or vulnerability-prone formats. This ensures high robustness against malicious code. Antiy Engine also comes with a trusted file signature library, supporting the product to implement security policies based on blacklist and whitelist controls, significantly enhancing the difficulty for attackers.
