Service Abuse: DocSend Share From Newly Registered Domain

Sublime Rules

View Source
Summary
This rule is designed to detect potential business email compromise (BEC) and phishing attempts via the DocSend service. It focuses on email notifications that originate from reply-to addresses using newly registered domains, suggesting they are potentially fraudulent. To trigger an alert, the rule checks if the sending infrastructure is legitimate, only allowing emails from 'no-reply@docsend.com'. The rule assesses the headers to confirm the SPF and DMARC authentication, ensuring that the email has passed basic sender verification checks. It looks for a reply-to address that has not previously interacted with the recipient’s organization, enhancing the likelihood that the email is a phishing attempt. Additionally, it includes a verification mechanism for the age of the reply-to domain: if it is less than 30 days old, this raises flags. This combination of checks is crucial in identifying emails that could be part of a sophisticated social engineering attack or impersonation attempt.
