Weekly Abnormal Detection Enhancements

A weekly summary of detection enhancements delivered by the Abnormal engineering team.

Weekly Detection Enhancements - Week of May 29

  • Enhanced coverage of nested email attachments and SVG-based phishing that hides encoded content

  • Improved detection of phishing from new senders that disguise malicious links behind innocuous-looking text

  • Strengthened protection against first-time-sender phishing by correlating sender history with rare infrastructure signals

  • Launched detections for reply-to redirection attacks combined with anomalous content patterns uncommon to recipient’s organization

  • Added detections for suspicious help-desk-driven MFA resets where the actor initiating the reset is not the target user

  • Deployed multi-signal detections that link help-desk social engineering to follow-on sign-ins from unfamiliar IPs
