I have a correspondence who sends me email that, instead of normal encoding, uses base64 encoded email.
It crashes two of my email clients.
Genuine madness.
Bleeping Computer: Phishers abuse Google OAuth to spoof Google in DKIM replay attack. “In a rather clever attack, hackers leveraged a weakness that allowed them to send a fake email that seemed delivered from Google’s systems, passing all verifications but pointing to a fraudulent page that collected logins. The attacker leveraged Google’s infrastructure to trick recipients into accessing […]

It's 2025... so why are obviously malicious advertising URLs still going strong?
In 2025, a phishing email containing a malicious link redirected through Google Ads was received by the Internet Storm Center. The link led to a credential-stealing page hosted on a dynamic DNS service. Despite being clearly fraudulent and detected by VirusTotal, the ad redirect remained active for over a week. The article questions why major ad providers like Google aren't implementing basic security measures to prevent such obvious threats. It suggests that ad companies should filter out links to domains unsuitable for legitimate ads and regularly check landing pages for malicious content. The author argues that this should be the minimum expected from ad providers in 2025, especially given the availability of AI and tools like VirusTotal for threat detection.

FOG Ransomware Spread by Cybercriminals Claiming Ties to DOGE
An investigation of nine malware samples revealed FOG ransomware being distributed by cybercriminals impersonating the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The ransomware, spread via email and phishing attacks, is concealed in a ZIP file named 'Pay Adjustment.zip'. The infection chain involves a multi-stage operation, downloading various scripts and executables. The ransomware checks for sandbox environments, decrypts its payload, and drops a ransom note. FOG ransomware has targeted multiple sectors, including technology, education, manufacturing, and transportation. The campaign either involves original FOG operators using DOGE references to troll users or other actors embedding FOG ransomware for impersonation purposes.

Soy usuario de Protonmail desde sus inicios, cuando estaba en beta.
Con el tiempo también fui usuario premium de Protonmail y ProtonVPN, y actualmente sigo siendo cliente premium de Protonmail, hasta octubre de este año.
Aposté por Protonmail porque me convenció su postura respecto a la protección de los datos de los usuarios. En seguridad informática, cuando se utilizan servicios externos, todo pasa por la confianza, y eso es una decisión personal de la que debe responsabilizarse cada unx.
Con el paso del tiempo he notado cambios, tanto en lo tecnológico como en sus políticas y acciones que me llevaron a decidir abandonar sus servicios.
Más allá del precio, que es bastante exorbitante para usuarios de Argentina, y que ciertas características del servicio estén detrás de ese paywall, los recursos necesarios para poder acceder a UNA CUENTA DE MAIL, son ridículos.
La web es cada vez más lenta y sobrecargada y no veo que tanta tecnología e innovación haya agregado ningún valor a mi experiencia.
La aplicación Proton Bridge, que es una de esas cosas que está detrás del paywall, y que debería ser un servicio mínimo que hace de puente entre el cliente de correo y el servidor de Proton, requiere 2GB de RAM para funcionar. Es indignante.
La migración a otro servicio de mail es un trámite altamente complejo y potencialmente problemático para cualquier persona con una actividad en Internet tan activa como la mia, pero no es la primera vez que lo haya hecho, y probablemente no sea la última.
FairEmail is by far the best Android email app I've tried, and is inexplicably missing from all the "best Android email clients in 2025" lists.

Se observarmos bem o modo como as ferramentas Bogofilter e Spam Assassin trabalham, veremos que elas funcionam por meio de um treinamento de um modelo estatístico para depois conseguir determinar automaticamente o que é classificado como SPAM, e ao receber novas mensagens, enviar direto para a caixa de SPAM. Talvez hoje em dia poucas pessoas usem clientes de email locais, mas para esse público essas ferramentas continuam a ser grandes aliados no combate ao SPAM.
No entanto, vejamos que nenhuma das duas é propagandeada como um mecanismo de IA. Perceba, portanto que o rótulo "IA" é subjetivo, e no meu modo de ver, esses dois projetos acertaram muito em evitar esse rótulo, por tão vago que é.
E a propósito, um interessante artigo comparando os dois [1].

As a sign there are still, er, individuals out there who think SMTP callbacks were a good idea.
Please have them read "Twenty-plus years on, SMTP callbacks are still pointless and need to die" (2017) https://nxdomain.no/~peter/twenty-plus_years_on_smtp_callbacks_are_still_pointless.html

It’s time for my favorite Eastertide newsletter, “Market Analysis of CPU Fan Cooling [chinese lettering]”
Was wondering if anyone knows this MTA (Stalwart) or has experiences with it. Found it totally randomly, never heard of it before despite knowing quite a bit about mail subsystems, and if the docs are correct, it's the kind of too-good-to-be-true software. Pure Rust and brings everything onboard (at least I) need.

I have like 5 accounts that I can’t use my personal e-mail for so I’m looking to find a GMail alternative for them to continue my journey to be 100% off Google products.
Does any email provider (paid or free) offer the same level of deliverability, uptime, and have something similar to Google’s Advanced Protection Program (https://landing.google.com/intl/en_us/advancedprotection/)?
