WHAT IS EMAIL BOMBARDMENT?

An email bombing is an attack on your inbox that involves sending massive amounts of messages to it. Sometimes these messages are incomprehensible. But more often, they will be confirmation emails for newsletters and subscriptions. Thus, in the latter case, the attacker uses a script to search for forums and newsletters on the internet. Then they sign up for an account with your email address. Each will send you a confirmation email, asking you to confirm your address. Also, this process is repeated on as many unprotected sites as the script can find. The term Email Bombing or Email Bombing; it can also refer to flooding an email server with too many emails. In an attempt to overwhelm the server and disable it. But that's not the goal here; it would be a challenge to cut down on the modern email accounts used. Meanwhile, Google or Microsoft email servers, anyway. So instead of a denial of service (DOS) attack; against the email servers you are using. Also, the flood of messages

PROTECT YOUR EMAILS FROM THREATS

When we were children, many of us learned from our families or teachers not to talk to strangers. Yet somehow, in the virtual world of the Internet, people seem to have forgotten this essential security lesson and willingly participate in information exchanges via email with "strangers." This puts your customers, your data, and your organization in general at risk. It seems that every day a new type of phishing attack or malicious spam attack is making headlines. More recently, a new form of malware called German Wiper has primarily targeted German companies. Like most malicious programs, it messes with victims' files and demands payment for their safe return. However, instead of encrypting data like traditional ransomware, this non-traditional form of ransomware rewrites a user's files into zeros and ones, ultimately destroying the data. So how can you help your business avoid being the next victim of a data breach due to phishing, malware, and other predatory ta

The truth is that, despite what you may think at first, these applications pass a series of tests that have the mission, obviously, of verifying their effectiveness. Well, for most IT security vendors these assessments are now out of date. Testing an antivirus before its launch is something that is done regularly. Thus, the AV Tests (name by which the aforementioned tests are known) allow users to choose which antivirus they want to install on their computers, knowing what their main characteristics are and what they protect against. So far everything normal. So what is the problem? Some manufacturers of security solutions have raised their voices against the fact that these tests are “not modernized”. In what sense?
