Notes

On Windows operating systems, svchost.exe manages the services and services are actually running under svchost.exe’s as threads. Phant0m targets the Event Log service and finding the process responsible for the Event Log service, it detects and kills the threads responsible for the Event Log service. Thus, while the Event Log service appears to be running in the system (because Phant0m didn’t kill process), it does not actually run (because Phant0m killed threads) and the system does not collect logs.
