Cryptojacking - Add-MpPreference Exclusion Configuration (T1562.001)
Detects PowerShell executing the Add-MpPreference cmdlet specifically excluding the targeted mining executables (RuntimeHost.exe, lolMiner.exe, gminer.exe). This activity is indicative of an attacker attempting to disable or bypass Windows Defender's real-time protection for known cryptomining executables, a common tactic in cryptojacking campaigns.
