Hunt Hypothesis

The hypothesis is that the detection identifies potential adversary activity involving the exfiltration of sensitive data through malicious URLs tagged as elf, leveraging compromised endpoints to steal information. SOC teams should proactively hunt for this behavior in Azure Sentinel to identify and mitigate data exfiltration attempts early, preventing data loss and reducing the impact of potential breaches.
