Windows Processes Killed By Industroyer2 Malware

This analytic detects the termination of specific processes, namely "PServiceControl.exe" and "PService_PPD.exe", which are known targets of the Industroyer2 malware. The detection relies on Sysmon EventCode 5, indicating a process termination event. This activity is highly indicative of an attack on critical infrastructure, particularly energy facility networks, as these processes are related to industrial control systems. Such an attack could lead to severe disruption of essential services and operational control. Immediate investigation is crucial to determine the cause and mitigate potential threats.
