+description: This analytic detects mailbox rule creation, a common technique used in Business Email Compromise. It uses a scoring mechanism to identify a combination of attributes often featured in mailbox rules created by attackers.
+  This may indicate that an attacker has gained access to the account.

+how_to_implement: You must install the Splunk Microsoft Office 365 Add-on and ingest
+  Office 365 management activity events. You also need to have the Splunk TA URL 
+  Toolbox (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2734/) installed.
+known_false_positives: Short rule names may trigger false positives. Adjust
+  the entropy and length thresholds as needed.
