onepage or checkout

Hunt Hypothesis

The hypothesis is that the detected behavior may indicate an adversary using a malicious payload disguised as a legitimate checkout or one-page checkout process to exfiltrate data or establish persistence. A SOC team should proactively hunt for this behavior in Azure Sentinel to identify potential supply chain attacks or data exfiltration attempts that may bypass traditional detection methods.
