Malware Relocation: PE File Copied to Temp/AppData Then Original Deleted
This rule detects potential file staging or persistence activities by identifying executable, library, or script files that are created in temporary folders and subsequently deleted within a short timeframe (300 seconds). This behavioral pattern is characteristic of attackers moving tools, staging payloads, or cleaning up tracks after executing malicious scripts or binaries within common directory structures like '\Temp\', '\AppData\', or '\Windows\Temp\'.
