A possible SPN enumeration via LDAP was performed. Such enumeration may be used during attacks against the organization.

An attacker is attempting to enumerate Active Directory.

Check if the process executes LDAP search queries as part of its normal behavior.
Investigate the LDAP search query for any suspicious indicators.
Determine whether the search query is generic. Wide search queries (often using wildcards) tend to be more suspicious. In our case, we are looking for targeted search queries.
