Office ASR rule triggered from browser spawned office process
Id | 30580043-2451-4d35-b49f-065728529f4a |
Rulename | Office ASR rule triggered from browser spawned office process. |
Description | The attacker sends a spearphishing email to a user. The email contains a link which points to a website that eventually presents the user a download of an MS Office document. This document contains a malicious macro. The macro triggers one of the ASR rules. This detection looks for Office ASR violations triggered by an Office document opened from a browser. Note: be aware that you need to have the proper ASR rules enabled for this detection to work. |
