AnyDesk Execution from Suspicious Paths
This rule detects the execution of AnyDesk from suspicious file paths that are not typically used for legitimate installations of remote access software. It identifies attempts to masquerade AnyDesk by placing it in system-like directories (e.g., Themes, Startup folders, Temp, or AppData subfolders with masquerading names) and also flags elevated executions (SYSTEM account) or service installations from these suspicious locations. The rule specifically excludes legitimate AnyDesk per-user installation paths to reduce false positives.
