Email Eavesdropping Alerts

You may be barricaded inside the best of (fire)walls, but you could still be exposed by your recipients’ nostalgia for their memorable passwords. Joseph Heller, author of Catch 22, famously wrote that “just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.” Many Generation Xers out there may recall that Kurt Cobain also used this quotation in a Nirvana song with a title I can’t repeat in this family-friendly publication. Never mind then (pun intended), [...]

Many people, nostalgic for their 90s-era email account passwords, are having (or already had) their emails hacked. I don’t mean to date myself (a lonely pursuit anyway), but I can remember having passwords in the 90s that were quaint by modern standards—in addition to being woefully inadequate to protect against today’s cybersleuths. Below is the greatest hit list of the most commonly hacked passwords going back to the dawn of the internet. And mind you, a lot of th [...]

RMail is SMART technology that actively hunts attacks that are already underway so you can swiftly dismantle them before they strike. “War is politics by other means,” wrote the famous military theorist, Carl von Clausewitz, back in the early 19th century, which was a time when wars were fairly limited, low tech, and almost gentlemanly affairs. Tell a Ukrainian today that Russia’s invasion of their country is simply another form of politics, and I don’t want to be around to see [...]

It seems one’s first email to a colleague needs t [...]

Cutting costs while effectively adding superior services is the perfect inflation hedge. "It’s the economy, stupid!” This phrase gained fame from the political strategist, James Carville, who was trying to describe what voters cared about in 1992. We’re not even going to dip our toe into today’s political maelstrom; however, I could not help but think about the strange economic environment we are in today. Perhaps a more apt statement for today would be, “It’s the inflation [...]

Get visibility into who may be watching your email so you can immediately re-establish your privacy. Netflix has scored a big hit with The Watcher, as the show has logged over 850 million viewing hours since it debuted a month ago. The Watcher tells a familiar story about a young family moving from the city to a nice, leafy suburb in the hopes of having a quieter life. The problem, without giving away too much, is that the house they buy comes with a rather long and m [...]

Only RMail offers features that can foil BEC attacks without “cry wolf” email stamps. We’ve talked a lot about the hydra of BEC (business email compromise) attacks recently due to the increasing share of these types of attacks within the universe of cybercrime that employ multiple techniques to lure users into sending money to the wrong person (to the cybercriminal). Recall that the hydra possesses many heads, and for every head chopped off, it would regrow two new heads. If your [...]
