Concrete signature match: Trojan - Appears legitimate but performs malicious actions for 32-bit Windows platform, family AutoInject
Trojan:Win32/AutoInject!rfn is a concrete detection for a highly evasive Trojan leveraging process injection and API hooking. It utilizes various Windows binaries (mshta, regsvr32, rundll32, PowerShell) and persistence mechanisms (scheduled tasks, BITS jobs) to maintain presence, evade detection, and potentially facilitate further malicious activities like remote file operations, data encoding, or system manipulation.

Review system logs for evidence of persistence mechanisms (e.g., scheduled tasks, modified registry keys) and investigate for lateral movement or data exfiltration.
