Trojan:Win64/BlackLotus!MSR
Detected by Microsoft Defender Antivirus
Aliases: No associated aliases
Summary
A BlackLotus compromise chain begins with an attacker who already has administrative or physical access to a target device to launch the installer and deploy files to the ESP, disable HVCI, bypass BitLocker (when required), and restart the device.
- Remove the Microsoft 3rd Party UEFI CA from your system’s UEFI Secure boot configuration if this is not required for your system to boot. Performing this step blocks BlackLotus from working but does not eliminate the BatonDrop vulnerability.
