Delete or Modify Registry Key
The subject deletes or modifies Windows Registry keys to hinder an investigation by removing information that can be used by investigators. Many actions and configurations on a Windows system are logged or stored in the registry. Deleting these keys can make it harder for investigators to trace the attacker's steps and understand what changes were made to the system.
