The analytic detects potential data exfiltration using PowerShell's Invoke-RestMethod. It leverages PowerShell Script Block Logging to identify scripts that attempt to upload files via HTTP POST requests. This activity is significant as it may indicate an attacker is exfiltrating sensitive data, such as desktop screenshots or files, to an external command and control (C2) server. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to data breaches, loss of sensitive information, and further compromise of the affected systems. Immediate investigation is recommended to determine the intent and scope of the activity.

This analytic detects the presence of "api.telegram.org" in the command line of a process. This activity is significant because the Telegram API has been used as an exfiltration mechanism or as a Command and Control (C2) channel by adversaries. If confirmed malicious, this could indicate an attacker or malware is exfiltrating data or receiving additional C2 instructions, potentially leading to further compromise and persistence within the network. The rule leverages process execution logs from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents.

The following analytic identifies potential data exfiltration using the PowerShell `net.webclient` command with the `UploadString` method. It leverages PowerShell Script Block Logging to detect instances where this command is executed. This activity is significant as it may indicate an attempt to upload sensitive data, such as desktop screenshots or files, to an external or internal URI, often associated with malware like Winter-Vivern. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized data transfer, compromising sensitive information and potentially leading to further exploitation of the compromised host.

Detects Acreed infostealer's cryptocurrency clipper activity. This rule identifies when a host first communicates with a known Acreed C2 domain (`trustdomainnet.live`) to fetch malicious wallet addresses, and then communicates with a QR code generation API (`api.zile42o.dev`) used to replace legitimate QR codes with malicious ones.

Detects the creation or modification of a GitHub Actions workflow file that attempts to exfiltrate secrets. This pattern is associated with the Shai-Hulud worm, which injects malicious workflows to steal credentials using `toJSON(secrets)` and exfiltrate them using tools like `curl` and `base64`.

Detects outbound network connections to the Telegram API, a technique used by XWorm for command and control (C2) and data exfiltration. The rule specifically looks for connections to "api.telegram.org/bot" and "/sendMessage" paths, originating from suspicious processes like WmiPrvSE.exe or Soundman.exe, or from common user-writable locations.

This detection identifies potentially suspicious usage of Invoke-Sqlcmd PowerShell cmdlet, which can be used for database operations and potential data exfiltration. The detection looks for suspicious parameter combinations and query patterns that may indicate unauthorized database access, data theft, or malicious database operations. Threat actors may prefer using PowerShell Invoke-Sqlcmd over sqlcmd.exe as it provides a more flexible programmatic interface and can better evade detection.

Detects data exfiltration performed by the Vice Society ransomware gang using a custom built PowerShell script. More precisely, the script enumerates the volumes mounted on the system, then starts crawling the different directories before initiating the data exfiltration over HTTP by creating multiple different jobs. As PowerShell script block logs the script execution into multiple events, the detection aggregates the different log chunks using the ScriptBlockId and then ensure that at least 3 of the 4 detection strings are found.

Detects the use of curl.exe to exfiltrate data, particularly archived or disguised files, via HTTP POST requests or the '--upload-file' flag. This technique was observed being used by the 'Curly COMrades' threat actor to upload .rar archives to a compromised server.

This rule detects suspicious file write and network activity that may indicate data exfiltration from a Windows Server using common tools like curl, ftp, or powershell. It correlates file creation/modification events with outbound network connections made by known exfiltration tools within a 5-minute window. This is useful for identifying insider threats, compromised servers, and automated exfiltration scripts.

This rule identifies devices connected to Wi-Fi networks with public IP addresses and correlates those connections with outbound network events. It aims to provide process-level context for connections originating from such network configurations, including geolocation of both local and remote IPs. This could indicate unusual or unauthorized network activity, potentially related to command and control or data exfiltration from devices on less secure network segments.

This detection identifies repeated outbound email events where large files are sent multiple times within a specific time window. It helps uncover potential data exfiltration attempts or misuse of corporate email for transferring large files externally.
Thresholds for file size, frequency, and time window can be adjusted to fit organizational context.
