   'This hunting query looks for file paths/hashes related to observed activity by Dev-0228. The actor is known to use custom version of popular tool like PsExec, Procdump etc. to carry its activity.
    The risk score associated with each result is based on a number of factors, hosts with higher risk events should be investigated first.'
