RulenameDiscord CDN Risky File Download
DescriptionIdentifies callouts to Discord CDN addresses for risky file extensions. This detection will trigger when a callout for a risky file

is made to a discord server that has only been seen once in your environment. Unique discord servers are identified using the server ID

that is included in the request URL (DiscordServerId in query). Discord CDN has been used in multiple campaigns to download additional payloads
