<h2 id="recommendation">Recommendation</h2>
<ul>
<li>Ingest the provided SHA-256 and MD5 file hashes into endpoint detection and response (EDR) blocklists.</li>
<li>Perform retrospective hunting across all managed macOS endpoints for the presence of these file hashes.</li>
<li>Ensure file integrity monitoring (FIM) is active on critical system paths to detect unauthorized executable deployment.</li>
