This release note is more than two years old and may no longer reflect current behavior. View the latest release notes.

On September 10, 2024 we pushed a model update to IP risk scoring that increased a large volume of IP risk scores (also referred to as proxy score for legacy services) at the lower end of the scale (between 0.01 and 1).

While these IP risk scores remained low (less than 1), this shifted the score distribution and may have impacted your systems depending on your score thresholds.

On September 12, 2024, we implemented an update that will decrease most of these low IP risk scores again. To remediate this sort of issue in the future, we will be increasing the sensitivity of our monitoring for scores on the lower end of the distribution before releasing model updates.
