Everything Sandbox Gazette has reported about email security: 6 stories, newest first. Part of our Cyber Attacks coverage.
Domain authentication protocols verify message origin, but they do not protect against attackers who compromise legitimate accounts or harvest credentials through social engineering.
Attackers exploit your trust in familiar logos and names to bypass technical filters, making human verification the final and most fragile line of defense.
Encrypting the email body protects content in transit, but it leaves the subject line and metadata exposed to inspection by intermediaries.
DKIM proves message integrity but fails to verify the sender, leaving your domain vulnerable to spoofing unless paired with other protocols.
Secure email gateways filter traffic before it reaches your inbox, but they cannot verify the intent behind messages that pass cryptographic checks.
Attackers mimic trusted voices to move money, exploiting the gap between human trust and automated security checks.
