Summary
Technical summary: This rule detects inbound emails that impersonate Vimeo to lure users to external sites. It triggers when the email appears to originate from vimeo.com with a subject ending in 'sent you a message on Vimeo'. It then flags any plain-text links found in the message body whose root domain is not vimeo.com, signaling potential credential phishing or brand impersonation. The detection relies on sender analysis (verifying the sender's domain), content analysis (parsing the email body for plain-text URLs), and URL/domain analysis (ensuring the link domain differs from vimeo.com). Potential abuse includes phishing attempts using Vimeo-branded notifications to direct users to malicious domains. Remediation involves user education, tightening DMARC/SPF alignment, and blocking or sandboxing such messages.
