In today’s cyber threat landscape, robust email security is paramount for organizations leveraging Google Workspace and Gmail as their primary communication tools. Integrating DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) with Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) offers a comprehensive approach to email authentication and fraud prevention.
DMARC reporting: When to enable it and how to address privacy concerns
by DuoCircle
DMARC reports are an essential aspect of your email authentication setup. Unlike what most organizations think, DMARC is not a one-time stint that you can implement and forget about. To get the most out of the authentication protocol and properly protect your domain, you must stay on top of things and monitor what’s going on in your domain.
We are once again back with fresh news pieces highlighting the important news where major platforms and giant industries have been targeted. To start with, a critical WordPress flaw is being widely exploited to hijack administrator accounts, with over 13,800 attack attempts recorded. SonicWall confirmed that firewall backup files for all cloud backup customers were exposed in a breach, overturning earlier claims of limited impact.
Jaguar Land Rover cyberattack: How a lack of cybersecurity systems led to catastrophe!

Jaguar Land Rover, the biggest car manufacturer in the UK, has come to a complete standstill after the recent cyberattack incident. JLR is still struggling with the aftermath of the severe cyberattack. This unfortunate incident is a staggering reminder of how modern-day manufacturers are prone to threat attacks.
Phishing remains one of the most pervasive and damaging cyber threats targeting individuals and organizations worldwide. At its core, phishing involves cybercriminals using deceptive emails, messages, or websites designed to trick users into divulging sensitive information such as login credentials, financial data, or personal identification.
Cold outreach has always been a tightrope walk. On the other hand, businesses and recruiters are seeking to connect with new prospects and initiate conversations. On the other, sending too many emails to the wrong people at the wrong time can harm the sender’s reputation, kill deliverability, and even have a domain blacklisted.
Setting up DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is an essential step in robust email authentication for any custom domain. By integrating an email DKIM check into your domain environment, you significantly enhance email security, improve email deliverability, and reduce the risk of email spoofing and phishing attacks.
Why SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are becoming mandatory in sectors like aviation and energy
by DuoCircle
Email-based cyberattacks are everywhere. They are more rampant in some industries and have grave consequences in others. For sectors that operate on very high stakes, like aviation and energy, the impact of these attacks is usually very serious and sometimes, at a scale that can disrupt other critical services as well.
In today’s digital landscape, ensuring robust email security is paramount for organizations and domain owners alike. The rise of email phishing attacks, domain spoofing, and other forms of email fraud necessitates advanced solutions that not only detect but also prevent unauthorized email activity.
It was a busy week for cybersecurity threats. Hackers exploited a flaw in VMware software, giving them full control over virtual machines. At the same time, Microsoft flagged a phishing campaign that used AI written code in fake file sharing emails to trick victims. A new Android Trojan, Datzbro, also spread through fake senior community apps, letting criminals take over phones. To top it off, the Confucius group launched fresh phishing attacks, and researchers found a malicious Python package that secretly installed backdoors on Windows systems.
