This is likely a false positive as cmd.exe is a legitimate system binary, and the action could be part of normal user or system operations, especially given the parent process is Explorer.EXE.\n\n**IOC Analysis:** FILE_PATH: C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe is a known legitimate Windows system binary, not a suspicious variant. HASH: The hash is signed, indicating it\u0027s from a trusted source like Microsoft. COMMAND_LINE: The rmdir command targets a user-specific OneDrive directory, which is common for legitimate file cleanup operations and not indicative of malicious activity.",
