T1496 — Resource Hijacking
Parent technique
Description
Adversaries may leverage the resources of co-opted systems to complete resource-intensive tasks, which may impact system and/or hosted service availability.
Resource hijacking may take a number of different forms. For example, adversaries may:
* Leverage compute resources in order to mine cryptocurrency * Sell network bandwidth to proxy networks * Generate SMS traffic for profit * Abuse cloud-based messaging services to send large quantities of spam messages
In some cases, adversaries may leverage multiple types of Resource Hijacking at once.

Detected by EasySIEM
This project's own SigmaHQ-derived detection pipeline tags every compiled rule with the ATT&CK technique(s) it maps to -- if a rule in your install covers this technique, its alerts show up automatically on your own EasySIEM Console's ATT&CK Reference page, no lookup needed. This page exists so a click from there always lands here on easysiem.com, not on attack.mitre.org.
