An adversary may rely upon a user clicking a malicious link in order to gain execution. Users may be subjected to social engineering to get them to click on a link that will lead to code execution. This user action will typically be observed as follow-on behavior from Spearphishing Link. Clicking on a link may also lead to other execution techniques such as exploitation of a browser or application vulnerability via Exploitation for Client Execution. Links may also lead users to download files that require execution via Malicious File.

Comments
This control monitors for references to suspicious domain names and file downloads from known malware sources, and monitors processes for downloads from raw-data websites like Pastebin, all of which are relevant for detecting users' interactions with malicious download links, but malicious links which exploit browser vulnerabilities for execution are unlikely to be detected, and temporal factor is unknown, resulting in a score of Minimal.
