This query lists files copied to USB external drives with USB drive information based on FileCreated events associated with most recent USBDriveMount events befor file creations. But be aware that Advanced Hunting is not monitoring all the file types.
Detects external disk drives or plugged-in USB devices.
Check all created files.
That does not have extension ps1, bat or cmd to avoid IT Pro scripts.
That are not copied to C:\ to detect all file share, external drive, data partition that are not allowed, etc.
This could help to detect malicious insider/user that has unencrypted data partition and that are using it to exfiltrate data even while removable devices & cloud storage is blocked.

This rule detects when an external disk drive or a USB mass storage device is recognized by the system. It specifically looks for Windows Security Event ID 6416, which indicates that a new external device was recognized, and further filters for devices classified as 'DiskDrive' or with the description 'USB Mass Storage Device'. This can be an indicator of initial access, data exfiltration, or the introduction of malicious software via removable media.
Detects external disk drives or plugged-in USB devices.
