description: The following analytic identifies a modification to the Transcodedwallpaper
file in the wallpaper theme directory to change the wallpaper of the host machine.
This technique was seen in adversaries attempting to deface or change the desktop
wallpaper of the targeted host. During our testing, the common process that affects
or changes the wallpaper if a user changes it via desktop personalized setting is
explorer.exe.

how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search you need to be ingesting information
on process that include the name of the process responsible for the changes from
your endpoints into the `Endpoint` datamodel in the `Filesystem` node. In addition,
confirm the latest CIM App 4.20 or higher is installed and the latest TA for the
