Goal

Detect when the Exchange junk email settings have been modified by a suspicious VPN.

Strategy

Monitor Microsoft 365 Exchange audit logs to look for the operation Set-MailboxJunkEmailConfiguration. Attackers who have gained unauthorized access to a victim’s account may modify junk email settings to redirect incoming emails. This technique could be used by an attacker to avoid detections focussing on email inbox rules.

Triage and response

  1. Identify any additional unusual behaviors:
    • Previous failed logins.
    • Unexpected VPN usage.
    • Unusual user agent.
  2. Contact the user {{@usr.email}} to determine if they made the change to the junk email configuration.
  3. If {{@usr.email}} is not aware of the activity:
    • Investigate other activities performed by the user {{@usr.email}} using the Cloud SIEM - User Investigation dashboard.
    • Begin your organization’s incident response process and investigate.
