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

Cyber-threats are everyone's problem

Cybercriminals are cunning, highly innovative, and persistent lawbreakers. The rewards for these violators are enormous. They not only go after our personal information, they go after our money, they have the ability to steal it and they will do so whenever they have the opportunity to do so. Traditional defenses have ceased to provide adequate protection. Cybercriminals don't just infiltrate our systems - in many instances, they are already inside our systems, assessing what information may be valuable to them and waiting for the moment to act. DON'T FACE THEM ALONE The private sector needs to match the actions taken by the government to increase national cyber security. Although individual firms have taken certain steps to ensure their safety and their ability to recover from infiltrations, more needs to be done. Cyber-threats are everyone's problem, and there are few benefits when we tackle them alone. For example, cyber risks and terrorism are risks that increasin

Have you ever wondered how antivirus is tested before it is available on the market? 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 Well, for most IT security vendors these assessments are now out of date.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?
