    Detects a suspicious execution chain where wscript.exe spawns an encoded PowerShell process to download files from Vultr Object Storage. The rule specifically monitors for the download of decoy files (e.g., .pptx, .zip) followed by the execution of a file named RuntimeSSH.exe, which is associated with the HEAVYGRAM malware implant.
