ATT&CK analytic guidance
Automated execution of native utilities and scripts to discover, enumerate, and exfiltrate files and clipboard content. Focus is on detecting repeated file access, scripting engine use, and use of command-line utilities commonly leveraged by collection scripts.
Repeated or automated access to user document directories or clipboard using shell scripts or utilities like xclip/pbpaste. Detectable via auditd syscall logs or osquery file events.
Use of pbpaste, AppleScript, or third-party automation frameworks (e.g., Automator) to collect clipboard or file content in bursts. Observable via unified logs.
Suspicious sign-ins to Graph API or sensitive resources using non-browser scripting agents (e.g., Python, PowerShell), often for programmatic access to mailbox or OneDrive content.
