### Unauthorized Access Detected
After detecting initial unauthorized access to the systems, analysis reveals that attackers exploited a known vulnerability in the VPN software used by the target organization. This vulnerability allowed the attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms and gain entry into the network.

#### Key Findings:
- **Exploitation Method**: Use of a zero-day vulnerability in the VPN software.
- **Tools Used**: Custom scripts to automate the exploitation process.
- **Entry Point**: Compromised credentials were used in conjunction with the exploit.

#### Next Steps:
Prepare to monitor for any execution of malicious payloads as attackers establish foothold.
