Each of these little bubbles has been color coded to help you understand the severity of this issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We follow a pretty simple mechanism: Red is high severity, orange is medium severity, yellow is low severity. All of these behaviors are things that Malwarebytes actually witnessed this process doing on our endpoint.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, there&#8217;s a lot of questionable behavior here. Things like disabling Windows Firewall, turning off the control panel, turning off the desktop activity; lots of things that would be concerning to a security expert.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"58618\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/business\/2022\/07\/demo-your-data-has-been-encrypted-stopping-ransomware-attacks-with-malwarebytes-edr\/attachment\/screen-shot-2022-07-21-at-10-04-02-am\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.04.02-AM.png\" data-orig-size=\"1506,1102\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.04.02-AM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.04.02-AM-300x220.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.04.02-AM-600x439.png\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1506\" height=\"1102\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.04.02-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.04.02-AM.png 1506w, https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.04.02-AM-300x220.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.04.02-AM-600x439.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1506px) 100vw, 1506px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Now, for someone who is not as familiar with some of these behaviors, or maybe there&#8217;s a technique that you&#8217;re not aware of, you can hover over them for more details.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So for example, if we hover over the disable Windows Firewall behavior that we saw, on the left, you&#8217;ll see that we&#8217;ve been partnering with the MITRE foundation and using its attack framework to give you context and a common set of terms that you can use to identify and understand these tactics.<\/p>\n<p>On the right, we see the command line context for this process in our organization.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"58620\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/business\/2022\/07\/demo-your-data-has-been-encrypted-stopping-ransomware-attacks-with-malwarebytes-edr\/attachment\/screen-shot-2022-07-21-at-10-08-45-am\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.08.45-AM.png\" data-orig-size=\"1506,1102\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.08.45-AM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.08.45-AM-300x220.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.08.45-AM-600x439.png\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1506\" height=\"1102\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.08.45-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.08.45-AM.png 1506w, https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.08.45-AM-300x220.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-21-at-10.08.45-AM-600x439.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1506px) 100vw, 1506px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>We can see the exact time that it ran and the file hashes, so if we needed to do further investigation, we have those available.
