## Lateral Movement and Credential Dumping

**Overview:**
With established persistence, the threat actors are moving laterally within the network, harvesting credentials to gain access to additional systems.

**Key Findings:**
- Use of legitimate tools like Mimikatz to dump credentials from memory.
- Compromised accounts exhibit unusual login patterns and access attempts.
- Network traffic analysis reveals attempts to authenticate across multiple systems.

**Recommendations:**
- Reset credentials for impacted accounts and enforce multi-factor authentication.
- Deploy network segmentation to limit the spread of lateral movement.

**Next Steps:**
Focus on identifying and mitigating data exfiltration attempts as attackers access sensitive information.
