The help desk is reporting an increase in calls related to user accounts being locked out over the last few days. You suspect that this could be an attack by an adversary against your organization. Select the best hunting hypothesis from the following:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The Hunting and Investigation guide contains example Event Search queries useful for threat hunting. These queries are based on common threat hunting use cases and scenarios, such as finding suspicious processes, network connections, registry activity, etc. The guide also explains how to customize and modify the queries to suit different needs and environments. The guide does not contain a list of all event types and their syntax, as that information is provided in the Events Data Dictionary. The guide also does not contain example Event Search queries useful for Falcon platform configuration, as that is not the focus of the guide.

A password guessing attack? Sounds like someone's trying to brute-force their way in. D is the way to go, for sure.

Haha, I bet it's the users locking themselves out. Classic IT support scenario right there. But seriously, I'm going with D as well.

I don't think it's C. Users forgetting their new passwords shouldn't cause a sudden increase in lockouts. D sounds like the best bet to me.

Let's also check for any unusual activity on our VPN logs to confirm if this hypothesis is correct.

We should investigate further to see if there are any signs of a password guessing attack on our remote access mechanisms.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Could it be a zero-day vulnerability in the Exchange server? That seems like a plausible attack vector.

I'm not sure, but B) A publicly available web application being hacked could also be a possibility. We should investigate both scenarios.
