BEC/Fraud - Student loan callback phishing

Sublime Rules

View Source
Summary
This detection rule targets phishing attempts disguised as student loan forgiveness or assistance solicitations. It identifies emails that urge recipients to call back under the pretense of loan support, typically using language that conveys urgency related to student loan repayment. The rule checks for several key indicators: absence of an HTML body in the email, presence of specific HTML tags in the message thread, mentions of 'Student Loan', and the use of free email providers. Additionally, it detects embedded phone numbers using various regex patterns to identify common phone number formats. The rule also checks for requests made in the email body and determines if the sender of the email was unsolicited, further reinforcing its capability to flag potentially fraudulent communications.
