Examine their executable files for\nprevalence, whether they are located in expected locations, and if they are signed with valid digital signatures.\n- Investigate other alerts associated with the user/host during the past 48 hours.\n- Investigate if the downloaded file was executed.\n- Determine the context in which `certutil.exe` and the file were run.\n- Retrieve the downloaded file and determine if it is malicious:\n - Use a private sandboxed malware analysis system to perform analysis.\n - Observe and collect information about the following activities:\n - Attempts to contact external domains and addresses.\n - File and registry access, modification, and creation activities.\n - Service creation and launch activities.\n - Scheduled task creation.\n - Use the PowerShell Get-FileHash cmdlet to get the files' SHA-256 hash values.\n - Search for the existence and reputation of the hashes in resources like VirusTotal, Hybrid-Analysis, CISCO Talos, Any.run, etc.\n\n### False positive analysis\n\n- This mechanism can be used legitimately.
