RulenameCTE - Possible Company-Wide C2 Campaign (Multiple Devices, Same Destination)
DescriptionMultiple distinct devices within the same tenant were blocked attempting to reach the same URL/domain within a 24-hour window. Isolated blocks are usually just one user’s browsing; several independent devices converging on the same destination is a strong signal of a coordinated malware/C2 campaign spreading across the company (e.g. a phishing link opened by several employees, or malware propagating internally).
