Hello,

 

We're receiving this alert from 5th of March for some endpoints. There is nothing suspicious in the incident, file is signed and have verdict benign. Has been there a new content update that caused this alert? What should we investigate in such cases?

These alerts appear to be false positives. You can create an exception for the Behavioral Threat Protection (BTP) module.
However, I recommend reaching out to Palo Alto Networks Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to have this issue investigated and corrected on the backend. If the engineering team determines the event to be a false positive and globally applicable, they may release a fix in a content update.
