[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1090388, member: 52014"] Adversaries use MSIX packages due to their ability to bundle malicious code with legitimate software, the easy installation process, and the lack of SmartScreen inspection. They also utilize the DesktopAppMigration element in the AppxManifest.xml to persist a shortcut for the app package. However, these packages must be signed with a valid code-signing certificate and leave more forensic artifacts, making it easier for defenders to track adversary operations. [/QUOTE]
