# Persistence Mechanisms Established by Malicious Code

## Overview
Following successful JavaScript injection, APT17 has established persistence within compromised systems, allowing continued access even after system reboots.

## Persistence Techniques
- **Registry Modifications**: Alterations detected in system registry keys to ensure malware execution at startup.
- **Scheduled Tasks**: Malicious tasks scheduled to run at regular intervals, maintaining a foothold.

## Recommendations
- Conduct system-wide scans for registry and task anomalies.
- Implement strict group policies to prevent unauthorized changes to system configurations.
