dbutil issue

Hello

Last week Dell issued a patch to fix the dbutil issue.  I read some releases stating that Dell is not aware of anyone being affected by the issue.

Last November our network got hacked by someone and affected our database server with a ransomware.  Good thing we had a good backup.  3 of our servers were hacked but not our Domain server.  The hacker entered our network through a user's computer.  Accessed the files on the server through shared drives.  She called me and said she couldn't access her computer because some user named dbutil had logged in and was not letting her log in. Found that her system was hacked.  Interestingly I was able to log into the system as the network Administrator. I checked the system and found there was a folder in the C:\Users directory named dbutil .  I checked all the other user computers.  None of them had that folder.  I did some research but came up empty handed.

She thinks she clicked on a link in an email but she is not sure.  Whatever the case, they got in and messed up the network.

We were running Windows 2008 Server and were going to upgrade them all to Windows 2019 Server Standard.  This happened just a week before we were going to upgrade. LOL! Talk about timing.  I can laugh about it now but it was frustrating and maddening as heck.

Just thought I will post my experience.  I am glad that Dell found the issue and fixed it.

Thank you.
