You’re really missing the point here. Huntress is an MDR, a cybersecurity company. They protect the endpoint by monitoring it for malicious activity and responding in kind. It’s what they do, not unlike Crowdstrike, Microsoft, etc. Generally a threat actor will install a security agent like this to find a bypass in order to attack more victims. They know exactly what they’re doing.

Strongly disagree. If they installed this to do some analysis they would have done that in a VM if they “knew exactly what they were doing”.

Either you snared a script kiddy, or your software download and install process that followed that google ads click was highly questionable.

I think it´s obvious from the browser history in the blog posting that script kiddy is for sure
