  "bluf": "MITRE ATT&CK T1136 describes adversary creation of accounts to maintain access. Sub-techniques cover Local Account (T1136.001), Domain Account (T1136.002), and Cloud Account (T1136.003). Adversary-created accounts often evade detection by appearing legitimate; SolarWinds and Hafnium (Microsoft Exchange ProxyLogon) campaigns both used this technique. Compliance obligations include identity governance and account lifecycle monitoring required by NIST 800-53 AC-2, ISO A.5.16, and DORA Article 9, plus mandatory privileged account oversight under PCI DSS Req 7 and HIPAA 164.308(a)(4).",
