IF * TO <executive@anycompany.com> THEN mailto: <someaddress@domain.com>
SELECT FROM ‘sent’ THEN DELETE FROM <executive@anycompany.com>

The executive is not aware of this rule. Which of the following should the analyst do FIRST to evaluate the potential impact of this security incident?

  • Check the server logs to evaluate which emails were sent to <someaddress@domain.com>
  • Use the SIEM to correlate logging events from the email server and the domain server
  • Remove the rule from the email client and change the password
  • Recommend that management implement SPF and DKIM
