# Analysis of Malicious Payload Execution

Following the detection of a phishing email, a detailed investigation has identified the execution of a malicious payload on the target system. This payload, typically a Remote Access Trojan (RAT), allows the attacker to gain control over the infected system.

## Key Findings:
- **Payload Type:** The executed payload is consistent with APT1's known use of RATs to establish remote access.
- **Execution Method:** The payload was executed via a script embedded in a seemingly benign document delivered through the phishing email.
- **Next Steps:** Close monitoring is required to detect any persistence mechanisms that may be established by the attacker to maintain access.
