Detects Windows logon events where the account name starts with 'WAC_' and belongs to a domain outside of the organization's tenant. This pattern is a key indicator for CVE-2026-20965 exploitation, where an attacker uses a forged token from an external tenant to gain unauthorized access to a Windows Admin Center (WAC) managed machine.

Detects when the Windows Admin Center service ('SmeSvc.exe') is stopped, and shortly thereafter, a different process starts listening on the WAC port (TCP/6516). This behavior is a key indicator of CVE-2026-20965 exploitation, where an attacker impersonates the service to steal administrator access tokens.
