The RansomHub ransomware group is using Kaspersky's TDSSKiller tool to bypass endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems, allowing them to deploy secondary malware undetected. After infiltrating a system, they first disable existing EDR solutions before releasing infostealers or encryption malware. TDSSKiller, originally designed to detect and eliminate rootkits, has been repurposed by RansomHub for their malicious activities. This trend raises significant concerns in the cybersecurity community regarding the exploitation of legitimate software by cybercriminals.
