Risk Score Impact Confidence Message
90.0 90 100 A registry entry $registry_path$ with registry keyname $registry_key_name$ related to Remcos RAT in host $dest$

:information_source: The Risk Score is calculated by the following formula: Risk Score = (Impact * Confidence/100). Initial Confidence and Impact is set by the analytic author.
