Ransomware Self-Deletion After Mass File Encryption via cmd, PowerShell, or MoveFileEx
This rule detects potential malicious activity characterized by a high volume of file write operations (at least 20 within a 30-minute window) followed by an attempt to delete those files or the files themselves. The rule monitors Sysmon events, specifically looking for processes that exhibit significant write behavior and then initiate a deletion command via cmd.exe, PowerShell, or the native Windows MoveFileEx self-deletion mechanism.
