This hunt targets the presence of known indicators of compromise associated with Remcos, a remote access trojan frequently used by threat actors to establish persistent control over compromised endpoints. Proactively hunting for these IOCs in Azure Sentinel allows the SOC to identify and isolate infected assets before adversaries can leverage the RAT for data exfiltration or lateral movement.
