Correlates an Entra ID MFA/authenticator reset with a new device registration within 30 minutes for the same account. Models the Scattered Spider (UNC3944/Octo Tempest) and CrowdStrike-tracked 'Mutant Spider' helpdesk-vishing playbook, where Mandiant's M-Trends 2026 measured ~40 minutes from vished reset to domain admin.
Detects potential help-desk impersonation or social engineering activity involving account credential or MFA method resets, followed shortly by a sign-in from an unknown device or geography. The rule excludes activity tied to established ticketing systems or standard automated password expiration processes.
Detects account modification activity (e.g., password resets or MFA registration changes) followed within 24 hours by a sign-in event for the same user account that is flagged as risky or exhibits anomalous device/location characteristics, indicative of social engineering campaigns like Scattered Spider.
Detects the installation or execution of common Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools, including AnyDesk, ScreenConnect, and TeamViewer, by monitoring process creation events. This behavior is indicative of social-engineering-based intrusions by the Scattered Spider (UNC3944/Octo Tempest) threat actor, who often impersonates IT support staff to convince users to run these tools for unauthorized remote access.
Detects potential account takeover by monitoring identity providers (Azure AD or Okta) for MFA method resets or deletions immediately followed by new MFA method registrations for the same user. This behavior is highly characteristic of Scattered Spider's (Octo Tempest) tactic of social-engineering help-desk staff to perform MFA resets, allowing the adversary to enroll their own device to bypass MFA and maintain persistence.
Detects potential help-desk impersonation or social engineering activity involving account credential or MFA method resets, followed shortly by a sign-in from an unknown device or geography. The rule excludes activity tied to established ticketing systems or standard automated password expiration processes.
Detects the creation of new AWS IAM access keys, with specific filtering for cross-principal creation, creation for sensitive accounts (e.g., service, admin), or excessive key creation activity. This pattern is often used by adversaries for persistence or privilege escalation in cloud environments.
Detects potential help-desk impersonation or social engineering activity involving account credential or MFA method resets, followed shortly by a sign-in from an unknown device or geography. The rule excludes activity tied to established ticketing systems or standard automated password expiration processes.
Detects potential help-desk impersonation or social engineering activity involving account credential or MFA method resets, followed shortly by a sign-in from an unknown device or geography. The rule excludes activity tied to established ticketing systems or standard automated password expiration processes.
Detects the installation or first execution of common remote monitoring and management (RMM) software, specifically AnyDesk, TeamViewer, or ScreenConnect, shortly after an identity change or MFA reset event, indicative of social engineering vishing-to-remote-access techniques often employed by threat actors such as Scattered Spider (UNC3944).
Detects a suspicious sequence of identity-related operations performed by a single user within a 2-hour window. The chain consists of a password reset, MFA method modification, new device registration, and a subsequent privilege escalation event (such as role assignment or application consent). This pattern is consistent with helpdesk-vishing campaigns often used by threat actors like Scattered Spider to perform full account takeovers.
Detects MFA or credential reset activities on high-value or privileged accounts that lack a corresponding out-of-band verification signal, such as manager approval or identity proofing, within a one-hour window. This behavior is indicative of social engineering attempts where attackers manipulate help-desk procedures to bypass identity protections.
This rule detects the use of browser-based cloud shells (AWS CloudShell, Azure Cloud Shell) as an entry point for post-exploitation activities, specifically tracking when these sessions are followed by object storage operations (S3 PutObject/GetObject or equivalent Azure Blob operations) within the same session context. This pattern is indicative of attackers using ephemeral cloud shells to stage stolen data or download offensive tooling, thereby bypassing host-based EDR monitoring.

Detects potential help-desk impersonation or social engineering activity involving account credential or MFA method resets, followed shortly by a sign-in from an unknown device or geography. The rule excludes activity tied to established ticketing systems or standard automated password expiration processes.
Sequence detection for the three-step chain — credential reset, MFA/authenticator reset, new device registration — completing within 40 minutes for one user, directly modeling the Scattered Spider/UNC3944 speed-to-domain-admin playbook from Mandiant M-Trends 2026.
Flags Temporary Access Pass issuance to accounts holding privileged directory roles, especially when issued by Tier-1 support rather than a PIM-approved workflow — TAP is the modern equivalent of the helpdesk MFA bypass abused in Scattered Spider-style intrusions.
Detects a suspicious correlation where an employee's phone number undergoes a SIM change or number reassignment event, immediately followed by a successful login using SMS-based MFA for the same identity. This pattern is indicative of SIM swapping/hijacking attacks, often used by threat actors like Scattered Spider to bypass SMS-based multi-factor authentication.
Detects a suspicious sequence of events: an anomalous login (new device, new location, or high-risk sign-in) followed by the assumption of a highly privileged role (via AssumeRole, PIM, or role elevation) and subsequent sensitive administrative actions (e.g., creating access keys, modifying IAM policies, or disabling security auditing). This pattern is indicative of cloud identity compromise and privilege escalation, commonly seen in attacks involving groups like Scattered Spider.
Detects MFA request abuse (T1621) by identifying a user receiving 5 or more MFA push, SMS, or call denials/timeouts within a 10-minute window across Entra ID, Okta, or Duo authentication logs. This behavior is indicative of an MFA fatigue attack, where an adversary continuously triggers MFA prompts until the user eventually approves the request out of frustration or confusion.
Flags installation of RMM tools (AnyDesk, ScreenConnect, TeamViewer, Atera, Splashtop) on an endpoint shortly after that user's account undergoes a password/MFA reset — matches the post-vishing tooling pattern CrowdStrike attributes to Mutant Spider (loaders including PrionFlaire and SocksLoader) and Scattered Spider.
