description: This rule flags DNS queries from Windows systems to two specific domains associated with attacker-controlled infrastructure. Such traffic can indicate command-and-control activity and credential/session-related data exfiltration attempts. It relies on DNS query logs capturing the queried domain names (QueryName) to match the two indicators.
