title: Azure Active Directory Hybrid Health AD FS Service Delete
id: 48739819-8230-4ee3-a8ea-e0289d1fb0ff
status: test
description: |
    This detection uses azureactivity logs (Administrative category) to identify the deletion of an Azure AD Hybrid health AD FS service instance in a tenant.
    A threat actor can create a new AD Health ADFS service and create a fake server to spoof AD FS signing logs.
    The health AD FS service can then be deleted after it is not longer needed via HTTP requests to Azure.
