What it detects

This rule detects creation of the distinctive numbered batch scripts staged by a fake cryptocurrency wallet installer that orchestrates hiding artifacts, terminating Explorer and deploying Remote Utilities. Adversaries drop these helper scripts during installation to sequence defense evasion and RMM setup, so their appearance on disk indicates the intrusion chain in progress.
