Summary
The "Deceptive Dropbox Mention" rule is designed to identify potentially malicious emails that mention Dropbox while originating from non-Dropbox infrastructure. It includes mechanisms to check for links to suspicious domains, discrepancies in sender identity, and warning language associated with credential theft. The detection logic first filters inbound messages that mention 'Dropbox' and correlate with topics related to file sharing and cloud services, excluding low-confidence matches. It employs regex to extract potential email addresses from the thread text, ensuring that the domain matches the sender's domain while also verifying that the local part is distinct from the sender's own local part to identify impersonation attempts. The rule also checks that the sender does not belong to any known legitimate Dropbox-related domains. Additionally, it evaluates the presence of links pointing to potentially dangerous sites classified as free file hosts or subdomain hosts. Finally, it utilizes a natural language understanding classifier to assess language patterns indicative of credential theft, adding a layer of semantic analysis to the detection process.
