Everything Sandbox Desk has reported about email security: 5 stories, newest first. Part of our Data Breaches coverage.
Most data leaks from misdirected emails stem from silent configuration errors that bypass standard spam filters and allow sensitive payloads to reach unintended recipients without alerting the sender.
Most vendor account takeovers happen because you verify identity through channels the attacker already controls, not because your passwords are weak.
Transport layer security protects the path between servers, while message encryption protects the content from every server that touches it.
Once an attacker controls your email, they can reset passwords for every other account linked to that address, turning one breach into total identity loss.
Executive impersonation attacks succeed not through technical flaws, but by exploiting the psychological pressure of urgency and hierarchy within your organization.
