What it detects

This rule detects HTTP POST requests to the /api/v1/AllRequest endpoint used by the CanesSpy trojanized WhatsApp modification for command-and-control. The spyware polls this path roughly every 60 seconds to receive orders and exfiltrate device identifiers, so traffic to this structured URI indicates an infected client beaconing to its C2.
