Link abuse: Self-service creation platform link with suspicious recipient behavior

Sublime Rules

View Source
Summary
This rule focuses on detecting potentially malicious messages that originate from new freemail accounts and direct recipients towards self-service creation platforms. It specifically identifies patterns of sender and recipient behaviors that may indicate phishing or fraud attempts. The rule is triggered when messages are sent from a freemail provider and meet certain conditions regarding recipient behavior, such as invalid email recipients, self-sending practices, or unusual configurations of CC/BCC fields. Furthermore, the rule detects links in the message body that lead to known self-service creation domains, particularly if the display text of such links is in all capital letters. The rule employs a series of logical conditions to evaluate the presence of suspicious elements, ensuring that only messages exhibiting these characteristics are flagged for further review.
