Summary
This rule flags inbound email messages that are targeted at a single recipient with the exact address me@aol.com. It is intended to surface targeted spam or social-engineering (spearphishing) campaigns that are personalized for a specific AOL user. Detection relies on header-like data (header analysis) and inspects the email recipient list: the rule requires the recipients.to array to have exactly one entry and the first recipient’s email field to equal “me@aol.com”. The rule classifies such messages as medium severity under the Spam attack type, with a tactic/technique label of Social engineering. The data source is Network Traffic, reflecting how email is transmitted across the network, and the domain scope is Network. File path indicates the YAML rule location for traceability.
