Hunt Hypothesis

This hunt targets adversary behavior consistent with the Remcos remote access trojan by actively scanning Azure Sentinel logs against a curated set of 16 known indicators of compromise. Proactively hunting for these specific IOCs is critical to detect early-stage lateral movement and command-and-control communications before they escalate into full-scale data exfiltration incidents.
