Process Executed from Downloads Folder - Windows [splunk-winevent]

This technique is commonly used by threat actors who leverage social engineering or phishing campaigns to trick users into downloading and executing malicious software, which can then be used for a variety of malicious purposes such as gaining unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or delivering additional payloads.
