This rule detects the use of PowerShell cmdlets to exfiltrate email addresses. Specifically, it looks for PowerShell processes executing commands that include 'Add-PSSnapin', 'Get-Recipient', '-ExpandProperty', 'EmailAddresses', 'SmtpAddress', and '-hidetableheaders'. This combination of cmdlets is indicative of an attempt to enumerate and extract email addresses from a system, likely for exfiltration purposes.
