Concrete signature match: Trojan - Appears legitimate but performs malicious actions for 64-bit Windows platform, family Selfdel
This is a concrete detection of a sophisticated Win64 Trojan from the Selfdel family, capable of extensive malicious activities. It utilizes techniques such as process hooking, abuses legitimate Windows utilities (e.g., mshta, PowerShell, rundll32, regsvr32) for execution and evasion, establishes persistence via scheduled tasks and BITS jobs, performs remote file operations, encodes data, and includes self-deletion capabilities for anti-forensics.

Conduct a thorough post-incident investigation to identify and eradicate any established persistence mechanisms (e.g., scheduled tasks, BITS jobs), abused services, or evidence of lateral movement and data exfiltration. Reset all credentials associated with the compromised system.
