Ping Delay Command for Self-Deletion
Detects the execution of 'cmd.exe' with a command line that includes 'ping 127.0.0.1' combined with a file deletion command ('del', 'delete', 'erase'). This pattern is often used by malware, such as ransomware, to introduce a delay before self-deletion or to ensure network connectivity before performing destructive actions, followed by an attempt to remove its traces.
