Brand impersonation: Google Careers

Sublime Rules

View Source
Summary
This detection rule is designed to identify emails that impersonate Google Careers, targeting potential job seekers and possible phishing victims. It checks for specific keywords in the body of the email that relate to job opportunities at Google, specifically phrases like 'Google Careers' and its translations in various languages including German, Norwegian, Swedish, Dutch, Turkish, and others. The rule specifically flags messages that come from senders not authenticated as Google (i.e., not using a google.com email domain) and checks whether links in these messages lead to domains outside of Google's legitimate domains (google.com and c.gle). If an email fails these checks, particularly if it contains a misleading job opportunity but originates from a suspicious source or includes harmful links, it is flagged for further scrutiny. The intention is to proactively combat credential phishing attacks that exploit brand impersonation techniques and the trust associated with Google Careers job opportunities.
