Collection
Collection consists of techniques adversaries may use to gather information and the sources information is collected from that are relevant to following through on the adversary's objectives. Frequently, the next goal after collecting data is to steal (exfiltrate) the data. Common target sources include various drive types, browsers, audio, video, and email. Common collection methods include capturing screenshots and keyboard input.

Email Collection: Remote Email Collection
Adversaries may target an Exchange server or Office 365 to collect sensitive information. Adversaries may leverage a user's credentials and interact directly with the Exchange server to acquire information from within a network. Adversaries may also access externally facing Exchange services or Office 365 to access email using credentials or access tokens. Tools such as [MailSniper](https://attack.mitre.org/software/S0413) can be used to automate searches for specific keywords.

Correlation
Investigate the source, and determine if it is legitimate. Lock and Change credentials of all affected accounts if it is not. Turn on Strong Authentication for all accounts if possible. If the login source country is expected for many users, you can add it to your "My Home" country list under the Resources -> Country groups configuration.
If the following pattern or patterns match an ingested event within the given time window in seconds, trigger an incident.
300 seconds
If the following defined pattern/s occur within a 300 second time window.
login_outside_country
This is the named definition of the event query, this is important if multiple subpatterns are defined to distinguish them.
This is the query logic that matches incoming events
eventType="MS_OFFICE365_Exchange_MailboxLogin" AND srcGeoCountry NOT IN (Group@PH_COUNTRY_GROUP_MYHOME)
This defines how matching events are aggregated, only events with the same matching attribute values are grouped into one unique incident ID
user,srcGeoCountry,srcIpAddr
This is most typically a numerical constraint that defines when the rule should trigger an incident
COUNT(*) >= 1
This section defines which fields in matching raw events should be mapped to the incident attributes in the resulting incident.
The available raw event attributes to map are limited to the group by attributes and the aggregate event constraint fields for each subpattern
srcIpAddr=login_outside_country.srcIpAddr,
user=login_outside_country.user,
srcGeoCountry=login_outside_country.srcGeoCountry,
incidentCount=login_outside_country.COUNT(*)
