Brand impersonation: Adobe Acrobat Sign PDF phishing file format template

Sublime Rules

View Source
Summary
This rule flags inbound PDF attachments that may be credential phishing attempts impersonating Adobe services (Adobe Acrobat Sign). It triggers when an attachment is a PDF and exhibits Adobe branding through one of two signals: (1) image-based branding detected by a logo recognition process showing an Adobe brand, or (2) OCR-extracted text containing phrases like “Powered by Adobe Acrobat Sign” or “Adobe Acrobat Sign.” Additionally, the OCR text must explicitly include the indicator “File Format: PDF,” suggesting a crafted document intended to resemble legitimate Adobe documents. All conditions are evaluated against inbound attachments, and a high-severity alert is generated when the criteria are met. The rule combines brand impersonation signals with a PDF format cue to identify fraudulent documents that imitate Adobe services. Detection methods include Computer Vision (logo/branding analysis), Optical Character Recognition (text extraction from the PDF), and general File analysis to assess the attachment content.
