Confirm that the user modifying or creating flows has the proper authorization and that no unauthorized changes were made.

An attacker who has gained access to an account may create or alter Power Automate flows to facilitate data exfiltration, automate repetitive attack actions, or establish control channels that allow for persistence and lateral movement. This tactic bypasses standard monitoring tools and can interact directly with internal data and services.

Malicious Power Automate flows can enable attackers to transfer sensitive information outside the organization, leading to data breaches.

Examine the connectors and actions within the flow to identify any unusual patterns that do not align with expected user behavior.

Detection as code Splunk

Solutions with deep Microsoft 365 integration, including advanced threat protection and audit capabilities, help monitor and control Power Automate activities.

Detection-as-Code pipeline

Attackers exploit its powerful automation capabilities to interact with internal resources, bypass security checks, and conduct operations covertly.

Detection as code Sentinel

Power Automate workflows manipulated by an attacker can impact the organization by automating harmful actions, such as sending misleading communications or changing data.

Often, yes. It may be associated with other tactics involving lateral movement, data collection, or external C2 channels.

Data stored in connected services like SharePoint, OneDrive, and email content could be targeted by malicious workflows.

Tines detection as code

An attacker modifies an existing Power Automate workflow to send data to an external service, disguising it as part of normal business operations.

Investigate any recent logins or modifications to understand if the user’s account has been compromised or used as part of an attack sequence.

The "M365 Suspect Power Automate Activity" detection identifies potentially unauthorized or unusual activities involving Microsoft Power Automate, an Office 365 tool used to create automated workflows. This detection helps identify when Power Automate is used for data exfiltration, automation of attack mechanisms, or actions that bypass typical user policies.

A user without sufficient authorization creates complex flows that trigger security mechanisms, prompting an investigation.

Immediately review the flow's details, contact the involved user, and investigate any linked activities for potential compromise.

Track if any data exfiltration or additional automated tasks occur after the creation or modification of suspicious Power Automate workflows.

The older generation TASER probes X26 and X2 have been shown to be capable of piercing the skull with their tips. With the introduction of the new TASER 7 and the far more powerful TASER 10, concerns have arisen as to whether these weapons might penetrate the skull more deeply and thus prove to be potentially lethal. For this reason, we tested the penetration capacity of these weapons on polyurethane-gelatine-buckskin head simulants at different firing distances. The striking speeds and striking angles were documented with a high-speed camera, and the piercing depths were recorded by computed tomography. None of the probes penetrated the skull, but their tips did; TASER 7 probe tips pierced up to 5.6 mm, whereas TASER 10 probe tips pierced up to 10.4 mm. The TASER 7 probes fared better with regard to penetration depth at shorter firing distances; on the other hand, the TASER 10 probes pierced more deeply at distances of 3 to 4 m, with their flight stability improving after the first 2 m. Our results imply that TASER 7 and TASER 10 probes are not to be expected to cause great harm or even death when striking the head.

In legitimate scenarios, users might create or adjust Power Automate workflows as part of regular business operations, such as automating report generation or integrating different applications. However, unusual usage patterns or unauthorized use can raise alerts, especially if it deviates from normal user behavior.
