What it detects

This rule detects creation of the ~del.vbs.bat self-deletion artifact dropped by the JadeProx TriBack loader to remove its own components and cover its tracks. The distinctive double-extension cleanup file marks post-execution defense evasion. Detecting it exposes JadeProx anti-forensic activity.
