Stolen passwords and account takeover
Someone signs in with a stolen or guessed password.
- Bursts of failed sign-ins on a PC.
A small Ojava agent on each Windows PC watches for ransomware, malware and password-stealing tools, and tells you when something is wrong.
Someone signs in with a stolen or guessed password.
Many files leave in a short time.
Files are encrypted and backups removed before a ransom demand.
Attack tools run on a PC to steal passwords or open a way in.
Attackers turn off what would catch them.
Attackers make sure they come back after a restart.
Related warning signs become one incident, so you see the whole story instead of separate alerts.
Windows security events, the names and command lines of programs that start, for files changed in user folders only the folder type and file extension (one example path when many change at once), with the user folder shown as %USERPROFILE%, the addresses of network connections, programs set to start automatically, and the Windows security settings (antivirus, firewall, logging).
The content of documents or emails, browsing history, keystrokes or the screen. During installation the agent switches on Windows' own logging of newly started programs and scheduled tasks, and places two small hidden decoy files in each user’s main folder, Public Documents and a local (not OneDrive) Documents folder: a change to one by anything else gives a critical alert at once (ransomware changes every document it finds), programs that only read files (OneDrive, antivirus, Windows Search) trigger nothing. It changes nothing else.
The agent reports every minute, so an alert usually reaches you within a few minutes.
