### Persistence Mechanisms Discovered

APT41 utilized multiple persistence mechanisms to ensure continued access to the compromised systems.

#### Techniques Observed:
- **Registry Modifications**: Changes to the Windows registry were identified, allowing the malware to execute upon system startup.
- **Scheduled Tasks**: Malicious tasks were created to run at regular intervals, ensuring the malware's presence and functionality.

#### Strategic Implications:
These persistence techniques highlight APT41's ability to remain embedded within a network. Understanding these methods aids in detecting and neutralizing their presence, preventing further lateral movement within the network.
