Two payloads, not a numbered sequence, emerge from sandbox records

The submitted executable drops two distinct temporary payloads as sibling processes, not successive steps in a numbered chain. Hashes and process records link one to system-like filenames and the other to an executable in a user’s Startup folder, without proving that a later logon launched either payload.

Two temporary executables appear as sibling processes beneath the same submitted file. One is connected to a running TiWorker.exe; the other is connected by its hash to svhost.exe in a user’s Startup folder. The important question is not simply whether those names look suspicious, but whether they represent separate programs, renamed copies, or successive steps in one execution chain.
