I still think it's more likely a reconnaissance attack, gathering information for a future attack.

That's a good point, Sol. It could be a way to hide their activities.

Brute-force attack? Nah, this sounds more like someone snooping around, trying to find vulnerabilities. Option B all the way.

I'm going with option B. That data dump on the network shares is a classic recon move.

Hmm, log tampering seems like a good possibility. Maybe the attacker was trying to cover their tracks.

Definitely looks like a reconnaissance attack to me. All those data dumps and config changes? Sketchy stuff.
