After the July Microsoft update some systems boot into a BitLocker Recovery screen. How can you find the key you need?

Some Windows users may see a BitLocker Recovery screen after applying the Microsoft patch Tuesday updates. BitLocker is a Windows security feature that encrypts entire drives. It prevents someone that has obtained a stolen or lost device from reading the files stored on that drive.

Unfortunately, though, Microsoft launched an update this month that has caused problems for some Windows systems. Without telling the public what, exactly, has gone wrong, Microsoft provided some details about what might happen on the Windows release health dashboard.

Affected systems are running Windows 10 and 11 or one of the server versions (Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008.). And the affected systems are very likely to have Device Encryption enabled.

You can find out if you have Device Encryption enabled by looking at:

*   Settings
*   Privacy & Security
*   Device encryption

If Device encryption doesn’t appear under Privacy & Security, it isn’t available for your system.

Under normal circumstances you wouldn’t see the BitLocker Recovery screen unless you enter the wrong PIN too many times or when you’ve made some hardware or firmware changes.

If you are affected by this faulty update, you will be presented with a screen similar to this one when you boot the system.

BitLocker recovery screen

On the screen, you’re asked to **Enter the recovery key for this drive**. Windows will also show a recovery ID to identify your key. Keep it handy since you may need this to find the recovery key.

**How to get the recovery key**

On another device, you can log in at  https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey with your Microsoft account ID that you use on the currently affected system. Once logged in, you’ll see a list of the devices registered to that ID showing:

*   The Device name
*   The Key ID
*   The Recovery Key
*   Which drive type (OSV drive is a Primary drive containing the Operating System. FDV drive is a Secondary drive)
*   Key upload date

Find the Recovery key you need by looking for the Key ID that matches the Recovery key ID shown in the BitLocker Recovery screen and enter the Recovery Key listed behind that Key ID in the BitLocker Recovery screen.

Once you’ve entered the correct Recovery Key, your system should boot to the normal login screen.

**We don’t just report on threats—we remove them**

Cybersecurity risks should never spread beyond a headline. Keep threats off your devices by downloading Malwarebytes today.

 Windows update may present users with a BitLocker recovery screen

Multi Store Inventory Management System 1.0 Insecure Direct Object Reference

Although there was a decrease in BEC engagements from last quarter, it was still a major threat for the second quarter in a row.

IR Trends: Ransomware on the rise, while technology becomes most targeted sector

The good news: Only organizations far behind on standard Windows patching have anything to worry about.

A Microsoft Defender SmartScreen vulnerability that was patched in February is still being used in infostealing attacks across the globe.

CVE-2024-21412 — a "high" severity, 8.1 CVSS-scored security bypass bug in SmartScreen — was first disclosed and fixed on Feb. 13. Since then, it has been used in campaigns involving well-known infostealers like Lumma Stealer, Water Hydra, and DarkGate.

Now, five months later, Fortinet has flagged yet another campaign involving two more stealers: Meduza and ACR. Attacks thus far have reached the US, Spain, and Thailand.

Sometimes, organizations take their time updating third-party software. By contrast, "The attackers in this case are taking advantage of software that's native on Microsoft Windows, which would be updated in normal Microsoft patch cycles," notes Aamir Lakhani, global security strategist and researcher at Fortinet. "It's a little unclear and concerning when these vulnerabilities are not patched, because it could indicate there are other Microsoft vulnerabilities that are not being patched as well."

**A CVE-2024-21412 Attack Chain**

If you visit a website, or download a file or program that's known to be unsafe — or is suspicious for any number of other reasons — SmartScreen will step in and present you with that famous blue screen message: "Windows protected your PC." It's a simple, effective way to alert users to potentially dangerous cyber threats.

So consider how useful it would be to an attacker if they could simply disable that notification. This is what CVE-2024-21412 allows them to do.

In the latest campaign identified by Fortinet, the attackers are beating SmartScreen "through the combination of PowerShell trickery and hiding attacks in images and taking advantage of how those images are processed," Lakhani explains.

First, they lure victims with a URL that triggers the download of a shortcut (LNK) file. The LNK downloads an executable with an HTML Application (HTA) script with PowerShell code for retrieving decoy PDF files and malicious code injectors.

One of the injectors is more interesting than the other. After running anti-debugging checks, it downloads a JPG image file, then uses a Windows API to access its pixels and decode its bytes, wherein lies malicious code.

"These types of image-based attacks have been around a long time and, while they aren't as common as other types of attacks we typically observe, we still see them pop up over time because they are quite effective," Lakhani notes. "It's not surprising to see this attack, especially because \[steganography\] detection is often overlooked compared to other attack scenarios."

**Consequences to the Unpatched**

The stealers smuggled in through image files in this case get planted inside of legitimate Windows processes, at which point the gathering and exfiltration of data begins.

The kinds of information they aim for are broad. ACR, for example, steals from dozens of browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox), dozens of crypto wallets (Binance, Ledger Live), messenger apps (Telegram, WhatsApp), password managers (Bitwarden, 1Password), virtual private network (VPN) apps, email clients, file transfer protocol (FTP) clients, and more. 

Only organizations far behind on standard Windows patching have anything to worry about. Clearly, though, those organizations are out there.

"I would understand how individual software updates from smaller companies may be missed, but most organizations have regular Microsoft software patch updates, and this particular vulnerability remains open to attack," Lakhani says. To encourage better patching practices, he adds, "I think in all cases, software vendors need to give users alerts and notifications that critical security patches exist and should be installed when the software is launched or used."

Cyberattackers Exploit Microsoft SmartScreen Bug in Stealer Campaign

Players can only access the game by first joining its Telegram channel, with some going astray in copycat channels with hidden malware.

Malicious actors are targeting users of a mobile currency game by using fake Android and Windows software that installs spyware and other malware.

Hamster Kombat launched in March and already has more than 250 million users, likely due to the promises of winning TON-based cryptocurrency. The game is for Android users, who can earn in-game currency by completing certain tasks within the game.

To play, users must join the game's Telegram channel, scan a QR code, and then launch a Web app on their device. When users first search for the game's Telegram channel, they are likely to come across other Hamster-branded channels attempting to distribute Android malware. One channel, named "HAMSTER EASY," even distributes Ratel Android spyware as an APK file.

This malware can allow the threat actors to subscribe the victim to different services and hide the notifications so that they remain unaware.

Other fake websites include "hamsterkombat-ua.pro" and "hamsterkombat-win.pro," which redirect visitors to advertisements to generate money instead of the real game. 

On the Windows platform, researchers discovered GitHub repositories that promise its victims Hamster Kombat farm bots and autoclickers but instead deliver cryptors that contain Lumma Stealer, info-stealer malware.

As the game continues to grow in popularity among users, it will continue to attract malicious actors, so users should be wary of being tricked by threat actors and copycat apps and remain vigilant when downloading software.
