Remediation Steps:
Immediately isolate the infected host from the network. Conduct a full forensic analysis to identify the initial compromise vector, persistence mechanisms, and any lateral movement. Eradicate the threat by cleaning or re-imaging the affected system, and ensure all network logs are reviewed for indicators of compromise (IOCs) and exfiltration attempts.
