Detects schtasks.exe being used to create a new scheduled task that points to an updater/downloader binary located under %APPDATA% or %LOCALAPPDATA%, consistent with SilentMare's persistence mechanism established by its installer to run the updater once per day.

Detects the creation of a suspicious scheduled task via schtasks.exe that masquerades as Windows Update or BootUpdate. The task is configured to execute 'fsociety.exe' with SYSTEM privileges upon system startup, logon, or boot, a behavior consistent with TOKYOCORE ransomware persistence and lateral movement.

Detects scheduled task creation used for persistence by the TTF Trap phishing campaign. The obfuscated JScript dropper checks for the absence of next-stage files and a marker variable (e.g. 'YESSSSSSSS') before copying itself to %PUBLIC%\Libraries and spawning cmd.exe to run schtasks with a recurring minute-based interval referencing the dropped loader files in that folder. Broadened beyond the exact 'schtasks /create /sc minute /mo 15' pattern to also catch scheduled task creation referencing %PUBLIC%\Libraries with other minute intervals, and direct wscript.exe/cscript.exe execution of files staged under %PUBLIC%\Libraries as part of the marker-gated persistence check.

Detects SleeperGem RubyGems supply chain artifacts: hardcoded Forgejo C2 reference in gem Ruby source, the git-credential-manager binary dropped under the hidden gcm path, and supporting deploy.sh/persistence indicators (ping6 backdoor, systemd/cron service under the git-credential-manager name)

Detects the creation of a scheduled task named 'Photo Studio' or the execution of a VBScript file named 'PhotoStudio.vbs' located within a 'PhotoStudioVBS' folder, which are artifacts associated with the Blind Eagle (APT-C-36) threat group to maintain persistence.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility, where the parent process is a Windows script host ('wscript.exe' or 'cscript.exe'). This is a common technique used by malware for persistence.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using specific, suspicious task names associated with the CURP threat campaign. This rule monitors for 'schtasks.exe' command line executions involving the creation of tasks with names 'brokerhost' or 'net_queue_32', which are identified as indicators of persistent threat activity.

Detects potential persistence mechanisms that mimic or leverage the Microsoft OneDrive update process. This includes the creation or modification of scheduled tasks containing 'OneDrive Update' in the command line using tools like schtasks or PowerShell, as well as modifications to the HKCU OneDrive environment registry key, a behavior associated with the GigaWiper malware.

This rule monitors for the creation of a scheduled task named 'Autoupdate' that executes a python.exe script. This pattern is commonly used by attackers for persistence mechanisms to ensure their malicious Python scripts run periodically on the host. It correlates both process creation logs for schtasks.exe and security event logs (Event ID 4698) for task creation.

Detects the creation of Windows Scheduled Tasks that follow the 'PythonLauncher-' naming convention, often associated with Starland RAT, using PowerShell commands such as Register-ScheduledTask. The rule monitors for persistence mechanisms configured to run at logon or with highest privileges.
