DMARC has now become a non-negotiable for every organization that sends bulk emails on a daily basis. It is even more critical for banks, where the stakes are so high that it’s not merely about money, but also sensitive data of their customers, regulatory compliance, and the integrity of their brand.

Recent cybersecurity  incidents underscore growing threats everywhere in healthcare, cloud services, and mobile platforms. A ransomware attack compromised over 113,500 patient records at a cancer centre; meanwhile, critical flaws in AI servers and enterprise security systems exposed risks of credential stealing and remote code execution. Alongside, fake VPN apps on official stores tricked users into fraudulent subscriptions, and a cloud container vulnerability allowed malicious actors to avoid isolation controls. These cases point to the need for prompt patching, stricter access controls, and user vigilance against growing cyber threats.

Sometimes your email just doesn’t reach its recipient. You’ve done everything right— crafted the perfect message, sent it to the correct address, and even authenticated your domain with email authentication protocols. Yet, it gets flagged or doesn’t even land in the receiver’s mailbox.

SPF macros: Underused power or overlooked threat?

SPF macros: Underused power or overlooked threat?

 

SPF macros can be best described as placeholders that are used within SPF records. They intend to make the SPF record more flexible and intelligent. This way, you don’t have to hardcode every detail; you can use macros like %{i}, %{d}, and %{h} to allow SPF records to adapt during a live email authentication check.

You might think that only your active domain (the one that you use to send emails) is vulnerable to spoofing and phishing attacks. But the truth is, there is more than one way that attackers use to intercept your systems, and often they are the ones you least expect. That’s the reality of email-based attacks; they not only exploit your primary, active domain, but also make backdoor entries through non-email-sending domains and parked domains. The reason cybercriminals go after the parked domains, instead of active ones, is that the former are often overlooked. It is easier to think that the attackers might not even pay heed to the inactive ones, but they know that these dormant ones are low-hanging fruit.

Rejecting Emails with Sender Policy Framework (SPF) for Enhanced Email Security

 

In an age where our inboxes are overflowing with messages, ensuring that the emails you send actually reach their intended recipients can feel like a daunting task. Have you ever wondered why some of your important emails end up lost in the void of the spam folder or, worse, get rejected outright? This is often due to a little-known defense mechanism called the Sender Policy Framework (SPF).
