Detects the creation or modification of inbox rules in Microsoft 365 that filter messages containing financial keywords (e.g., 'direct deposit', 'bank') and perform actions designed to hide or suppress these emails (e.g., 'MoveToFolder', 'DeleteMessage', 'MarkAsRead', 'StopProcessingRules'). This behavior is commonly used by adversaries to hide notification emails regarding financial transactions, which could alert the user to unauthorized activity.
