Description
An unpopular process accessed clipboard content by calling the GetClipboardData API function. This behavior may indicate potential threats such as a keylogger or a RAT.
Attacker's Goals

Investigative actions
- Check if the process has a user interface (a visible window).
- Check if the process is a known user application that was updated recently.
