Summary: “.RDP File Created by Outlook Process” refers to a situation where the Outlook email client creates a Remote Desktop Protocol (.RDP) file, which is unusual and potentially suspicious. RDP files are typically used for establishing remote connections to other systems, but when created by an email client like Outlook, it may signal malicious activity. This could indicate that an attacker has used Outlook to deliver or execute an RDP file, potentially enabling unauthorized remote access to the victim’s machine. Monitoring for this behavior is important as part of detecting and mitigating cyber threats.
