Akira ransomware abuses CPU tuning tool to disable Microsoft Defender

Akira ransomware is abusing a legitimate Intel CPU tuning driver to turn off Microsoft Defender in attacks from security tools and EDRs running on target machines. The abused driver is 'rwdrv.sys' (used by ThrottleStop), which the threat actors register as a service to gain kernel-level access. This driver is likely used to load a second driver, 'hlpdrv.sys,' a malicious tool that manipulates Windows Defender to turn off its protections.

Donald Trump’s tariff regime has been scoffed at by business leaders and world economists (Larry Summers, for instance, called it both “crazy” and “dumb”), but the White House hasn’t backed down from its highly unconventional program. The tariffs, which are taxing American businesses on their imports, are reportedly generating billions of dollars in revenue for the federal government on a month-to-month basis.

In a new study published in the journal Archaeometry, Brazilian 3D designer Cicero Moraes lends credence to the theory that the shroud was a work of art rather than a genuine death shroud — and per the new paper, it may not have laid atop a human at all.
