ID:suspicious_cluster_volume
Data type:DNS, IP, HTTP
Severity:
Medium
MITRE ATT&CK:TA0011:T1071

Description

AlphaSOC detected a cluster of suspicious network traffic patterns that require investigation. This cluster may include communication with low-reputation destinations or other behaviors potentially indicating malicious activity. Such patterns often signify attempts at command and control (C2) communication, data exfiltration, or other nefarious activities.

Impact

A cluster of suspicious network traffic can indicate a compromised system or network intrusion. Adversaries may use various communication channels to maintain persistence, exfiltrate data, or further their attack. If left unchecked, this activity could lead to data breaches, system compromise, or serve as a foothold for more extensive network infiltration.

Investigation and Remediation

Investigate the source and destination of the suspicious requests, analyzing their content and frequency. Examine the affected systems for signs of compromise, such as unexpected processes or file changes. If malicious activity is confirmed, isolate the affected systems, terminate unauthorized connections, and begin incident response procedures.
