High Volume Proxy Connections by System Processes

This rule detects an unusually high volume of network connections to common proxy ports (3128, 8080, 80, 443) initiated by critical system processes such as 'services.exe', 'svchost.exe', or 'rundll32.exe'. This behavior can indicate the installation and use of a trojan proxy or other malicious software attempting to exfiltrate data or establish command and control through a proxy.
