The best line of defence against this known form of attack called Lucifer (and all other attacks) is to ensure that Windows is fully patched with the latest updates. The second line of defence is to use a strong password for your Windows login (and any other account, really).
That’s because Lucifer attempts to brute-force its way into Windows systems, meaning it bombards PCs with commonly used login usernames (like administrator, single user name such as John or Ann) and passwords (like, Pass, Password, 123123, Letmein).
