### Overview
Following the initial access, the attackers deployed a malicious payload designed to execute remote commands and begin data collection.

### Key Findings
- **Payload Characteristics**: The payload was a custom-developed malware, showing advanced obfuscation techniques to avoid detection.
- **Command and Control (C2) Channels**: The malware established encrypted connections to remote servers, indicating the setup of a C2 infrastructure.

### Recommendations
- **Monitoring**: Enhance network monitoring to identify unusual outbound traffic.
- **Endpoint Protection**: Deploy enhanced endpoint detection and response solutions to prevent execution of similar payloads.
