Privileged account created in the last 10 days (T1136.001)
The finding clears on its own once the account is 10 days old.
Why it matters
Attackers create privileged accounts to keep access after a break-in. Confirm this one while the change record is fresh.

How Select Fire™ contains it
How to fix it
Confirm an approved change created the account. If none did, remove its privileged group membership and find out how it was created.
What Select Fire does
Select Fire opens from the finding and simulates each change on your live graph before anything changes in your directory. These steps contain a suspected compromise.
- Disable user For user accounts and service accounts.Semi-Auto, or Full-Auto when an Admin allows this action and every Full-Auto check passes. Never on a Tier 0 or Tier 1 account.
Disabling the account holds it while you confirm how it was created. You can enable it again afterward.
To repair it: Confirm who created the account and why. If no approved change did, remove its privileged group membership.
