Avaddon ransomware cleans the bin for you

Avaddon ransomware cleans the bin for you
Avaddon is a new Maze-like ransomware that not only encrypts the user’s data but also steals it and threatens to make it public. To do that, the Avaddon operator recently launched their own data leak site, where they have already published data from Liberty Linehaul and U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc. What makes this ransomware unique is the way it tries to delete backups. In addition to traditional removal of shadow copies of the user’s files, Avaddon also deletes system backups, disables automatic repair and recovery, and cleans the bin. To do that, it escalates privileges with UAC bypassing through CMSTPLUA COM interface exploitation.

Antimalware Scans of Backups: Creating More Security Without Harming Performance or Usability
Backup and antimalware are two essentials parts of the typical endpoint security posture. While scanning for malware is usually performed before backing up, it is still possible for malware to make its way to a backup image – either because the detection capabilities of the average antimalware solution are lacking or the backup was created before doing an antimalware scan.
