This rule detects the creation or modification of scheduled tasks using specific names identified in the Bitdefender APT36 Vibeware report. The rule looks for `schtasks.exe` executions where the command line contains one of the following task names: "MicrosoftEdgesUpdatesTasksMachineUAs-Task", "MicrosoftEdgesUpdatesTasksMachineUAs-1234-87hy", "DateAndTimeService", "personalServiceTask", or "LuminousBackupService". This helps identify campaign-specific persistence mechanisms used by APT36 Vibeware.
