This rule detects network connections to the Telegram API (api.telegram.org) originating from processes that are not recognized as legitimate Telegram applications (e.g., chrome.exe, Telegram.exe). This behavior can indicate the presence of malware or other unauthorized applications attempting to exfiltrate data or establish command and control via the Telegram messaging platform.

Detects users accessing, downloading, or copying a high volume of document files (>100 unique files) across multiple SharePoint sites (>1) within a single hour, excluding legitimate OneDrive sync client activity. The rule targets file types commonly associated with sensitive business data — Office documents, PDFs, archives, databases, email exports (PST/OST/MSG), and OneNote notebooks — and aggregates by user and hour to surface bulk collection patterns consistent with insider data theft, account compromise, or pre-exfiltration staging by ransomware affiliates

Similar to my previous rule, this detects when a user accounts smartcard is disabled (change code 2060) but not subsequently re-enabled (change code 2092) within the observed timeframe. This could indicate malicious activity such as an attacker disabling accounts to bypass multi-factor authentication or other security controls.
This version of the rule is designed to run as a scheduled correlation based on your time acceptance of a users smartcard being disabled. This will suppress the quick helpdesk troubleshooting of accounts since it only fires if the smartcard remains disabled, however the detection will be slower since it does not fire on the real time event.
