+- name: Scheduled Task Executing Base64 Encoded Commands From Registry
+  description: |
+    A Base64 Encoded command will be stored in the registry (ping 127.0.0.1) and then a scheduled task will be created.
+    The scheduled task will launch powershell to decode and run the command in the rgistry daily.
+    This is a persistence mechanism recently seen in use by Qakbot.
