    Hi,

    I am trying to block mshta.exe in my organization to prevent Lumma Infostealer. However, I need to create some exceptions, whether by URL or InitiatingProcessParentFile.

    Could someone guide me, please?

    TIA!

        babulkhan : I wanted to block that to limit my kid's viewing time on youtube. I had finally found the way to do that.

         

        I updated the hosts file under the system32/drives/etc path. took the youtube url and just added to block.
