Hunt Hypothesis

This detection identifies adversaries leveraging known malicious URLs to distribute malware downloads, which often serve as an initial foothold or lateral movement vector within the network. The SOC team should proactively hunt for these specific indicators in Azure Sentinel to rapidly isolate compromised endpoints and prevent the propagation of newly identified threats before they escalate into broader incidents.
