Hey guys,

Has anyone else seen MDATP flagging cmd.exe as DarkGate malware on SQL servers? The file hashes come back clean and there are no events to indicate potential compromise. I know they recently posted an article on a new attack vector for lateral movement from SQL servers to cloud. So maybe the detection rules are still being tweaked. [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2023/10/03/defending-new-vectors-threat-actors-attempt-sql-server-to-cloud-lateral-movement/](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2023/10/03/defending-new-vectors-threat-actors-attempt-sql-server-to-cloud-lateral-movement/)

Would just like to confirm we aren't the only ones seeing this.
