# Report: Malicious Payload Deployment Detected

## Overview
Following the detection of RDP brute-force attempts, our systems have identified the deployment of a malicious payload. This marks the execution phase of the attack.

## Details
- **Payload Type:** SamSam ransomware
- **Delivery Mechanism:** Confirmed through compromised RDP sessions
- **Timestamp:** 2 hours after initial access detection

## Implications
The execution of this payload suggests that the attackers have gained a significant foothold within the network, allowing them to initiate the encryption process on targeted systems.

## Recommendations
- Immediate isolation of affected systems
- Deployment of endpoint protection solutions to detect and block further payload executions

## Next Steps
Prepare for potential persistence mechanisms as attackers may attempt to maintain access even if the payload is neutralized.
