The following analytic detects the creation of registry artifacts when an ISO container is opened, clicked, or mounted on a Windows operating system. It leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry data model, specifically monitoring registry keys related to recent ISO or IMG file executions. This activity is significant as adversaries increasingly use container-based phishing campaigns to bypass macro-based document execution controls. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could indicate an initial access attempt, potentially leading to further exploitation, persistence, or data exfiltration within the environment.

Detects emails delivered to user inboxes that contain both a PDF attachment and a URL identified as a phishing link. This rule is designed to identify modern QR code phishing (quishing) campaigns where the malicious URL is embedded within the PDF to bypass traditional email security scanning. The detection relies on the email security solution's ability to extract and flag URLs from attachments, including those embedded in QR codes.
