Hunt Hypothesis

This hunt targets the execution of known malicious URLs associated with the BillGates campaign, which adversaries leverage to deliver payloads or establish initial footholds in the environment. Proactively hunting for these indicators in Azure Sentinel allows the SOC team to identify compromised endpoints before the threat actors can progress to lateral movement or data exfiltration.
