Email Threat Detection Improvements

Material now also detects:

  • When a message spoofs Google using the default sender address and links to a Google Sites edit page

  • Messages that address users by email (instead of name)

  • Messages asking for sensitive info, sent from freshly minted domains, are now more likely to be flagged

  • Fake account alerts and email quarantine messages

HTML attachment detections were also refined to better catch embedded JavaScript.
