Summary
This detection rule identifies potentially abusive messages that contain links to Apple TestFlight domains and are sent from free email providers. The rule checks for the presence of links in incoming messages, specifically looking for URLs that lead to 'testflight.apple.com'. It also looks for links that might be associated with the MIMEcast protective service, indicating a possible manipulation to mask the origin of the link. To enhance accuracy, the rule excludes messages that appear to be part of an email thread or forwarding process, as these can often be legitimate communications. It also considers whether the sender's email domain is a known free email provider, or if there are indications of unsolicited messages that may be malicious or spammy. The intent of this rule is to mitigate the risks associated with credential phishing attacks which can occur through beta testing invitations.
