### Overview
Post payload execution, the adversaries have established persistence through scheduled tasks. This report delves into the methods used to maintain access.

### Persistence Techniques
- **Scheduled Tasks:** A task is created to run the ransomware at system start, ensuring continuous presence.
- **Registry Modifications:** Entries are added to ensure tasks are re-created if deleted.

### Recommendations
- **Audit Scheduled Tasks:** Regularly review and audit scheduled tasks for unauthorized entries.
- **Registry Monitoring:** Implement alerts for suspicious registry changes related to task creation.

Understanding persistence aids in preempting the attackers' lateral movement efforts, which are likely to follow.
