Hunt: Cisco SEG CVE-2026-76519 compromise and outbound staging

On the appliance: run contentscannerstatus (need ≥25.3.0.5525) and grep "System Security" system_logs. Treat "Suspected compromise indicator was found" as confirmed compromise and follow Cisco's rebuild/TAC guidance—root access can erase local logs. Off-box, look for unexpected uploads/downloads from the SEG management or mail interfaces to unfamiliar IPs.
# Sigma-style sketch (network)

Also inventory File Reputation enabled policies. Sketch only; validate before alerting.
