If you select the BIOS, Live Update will download the latest BIOS as well. At last, Live Update will tell you that the Driver live update is completed. If you select a Driver, Live Update will download the latest Driver. Additionally, the CCleaner attack also cast a wide net in looking for a smaller population of specific targets. ASUS Live Update is a useful utility to update BIOS and Drivers of your NB. They also look for other consistent tells the group uses in its code across different campaigns, though Kaspersky doesn’t reveal details of these indicators. ASUS Live Update will identify your motherboard, check if there is an update for BIOS, and propose to download and install it. It is run from within various Windows operating systems (XP, Windows 7 / 8 / Vista / 10) in 32 and 64 bit forms. But Kaspersky researchers see similarities in the way the Asus backdoor, the CCleaner backdoor, and other instances of ShadowPad were conceptually designed. The Asus Live Update application lets you update your ASUS motherboard BIOS with ease. Raiu adds the group that may be behind all of these attacks, known as Barium, rewrites tools for every large attack so scanners can’t detect them by looking for its old code signatures. Kaspersky’s Raiu says that the firm suspects the Asus incident is connected to a series of mostly thwarted 2017 ShadowPad attacks as well as the successful use of ShadowPad in the CCleaner compromise. Tainted updates in otherwise legitimate software platforms have already wreaked havoc in big incidents like the May 2017 NotPetya outbreak and the June 2017 CCleaner compromise.
