As a result of Microsoft's Bing Search API deprecation, Transforms using Bing Search Engine have been removed from Maltego Graph. Starting August 11, search engine Transforms will be powered by:
- Brave Search – a privacy-focused index with broad surface-web reach
- Google Custom Search (CSE) – fine-tuned queries against Google’s web index
Both search engines maintain independent web indexes, expanding surface-web coverage while preserving operational privacy. Their results map to the existing Entity types users have been working with making sure the investigation workflows remain unchanged.
A regular update will automatically install these new Transforms in Maltego Graph. If your Maltego Graph did not update automatically, please check for updates from the Maltego Graph home screen.
You can find these Transforms as part of Utilities Data Pass Module or by typing the name of each Transform into the search in the Context Menu after right-clicking on the Entity.
Note for CTAS customers: the replacement Transforms will become available at the end of August.List of affected Transforms and their replacements
