Experts devised the GhostHook Attack technique to bypass Windows 10 PatchGuard Protections

Experts have devised the GhostHook Attack technique to install rootkits on machines running the Windows 10 operating system. Security experts at CyberArk Labs have devised a new attack technique that bypasses Windows 10 PatchGuard protections. Microsoft downplayed the report and it will not issue any emergency patch, but it may address the issue only in a future version of Windows. The problem could be very difficult to patch, because the hackers can take advantage of the buffer-is-going-full notification mechanism to take control of the execution of the thread.”]
