Version 1.23

Material Release Notes – v1.23

On February 27, 1996, Pokémon made its debut in Japan, kicking off a global quest to catch ‘em all. This week, Material is rolling out powerful new security evolutions—because cyber threats don’t faint unless you battle them head-on!

🆕 New

📊 Usage Report – Know Your Party!

See which accounts are synced with Material and how they’re protected. With enhanced detection of sensitive content and identity verification layers, even the sneakiest Team Rocket-style attacks get blocked before they blast off. 🚀

🎣 Phishing Detection Rules – No More Magikarp Attacks!

We’ve supercharged our detections against some of the trickiest phishing threats:

Ditto-Like Brand Impersonation: Hulu, Datadog, RingCentral, Microsoft, KnowBe4, Capital One, Google, and more.

Dodging Trap Links: OneDrive, Webflow, and other suspicious redirects—no more walking into wild phishing encounters!

Malicious Attachments – Like a Voltorb Disguised as an Item: Hidden threats in files, embedded JavaScript, and callback phishing attempts.

Trick Room Activated: New manipulations like QR code scams and fake scan-to-email tactics get stopped before they get a chance to attack.

🔐 Account Takeover Detection Rules – Stop Team Rocket Before They Strike!

We’ve trained up new rules to catch suspicious email filtering behavior:

Accounts that dump everything into Trash (shady, right?).

Email manipulation rules targeting sensitive terms.

Suspiciously named filters that scream “Imposter!”

Updates & Fixes

🚫 Default Remediation Change – Phishing Gets a Hard Counter!

We’re evolving our default phishing rule from Speedbump to Block & Banner. That means stronger defenses, while custom configurations stay exactly how you set them—no forced resets.

📑 Phishing Issue Analysis Summary – A Fully Detailed Pokédex Entry for Each Attack!

Every phishing attempt now comes with a full breakdown, including:

• Attack objective & sub-objective
• Who detected it (Material or a sharp-eyed user)
• The sneaky tactics used
• Novel sender/domain insights
• ML-driven threat assessment
• Rules that flagged the message

🔍 Search Fixes – Running in Circles? Not Anymore!

Searching now properly resets pagination, and file searches no longer glitch on shared.with and shared.has_access filters.

That’s it for this patch—stay safe, train hard, and don’t let cyber threats evolve! ⚡🔒
