Threat actors are exploiting Google Calendars for phishing and spoofing attempts
by DuoCircle
Threat actors are becoming more sophisticated, and the safety of the digital space is taking a toll because of it. Over the past few months, cybersecurity experts have noticed a new phishing scam tactic in which bad actors send fake meeting invitations that redirect the invitees to phishing websites. These invites look exactly like the original Google invites, and even the phishing website is cloned so well that it’s difficult to catch its fakeness. Since the counterfeit platforms are flawless, the success rate of these attacks is extremely high; users are entering sensitive details and downloading malicious links without batting their eyes.
In today’s fast-paced tech world, many businesses are seeking ways to streamline their IT services and improve customer satisfaction, but how do they do that effectively? Enter the MSP Partner Program—a game-changing initiative specifically designed for Managed Service Providers (MSPs).
The ‘fo’ tag in DMARC stands for ‘failure options.’ It’s an optional tag that helps domain owners specify the types of authentication and alignment issues that must be reported. This tag supports four specific types of failure reports: fo=0, fo=1, fo=d, and fo=s. The ‘fo’ tag can combine multiple reporting options, enabling you to create a customized reporting strategy that aligns best with your preferences and risk tolerance.
In a digital world where email is still a primary mode of communication, protecting your domain from malicious attacks has never been more critical. You may think email security only pertains to big corporations, but every organization, large or small, should be on alert against threats like phishing and spoofing.
What is IoT email authentication, and why should you care about it?

If you look around and notice the gadgets you use every day and how interconnected they are, you will realize that these gadgets are constantly communicating with each other and with users over the internet. Whether it is your smartwatch and your phone or the security camera in your home and the cloud storage service, almost everything that you use is part of the ecosystem that is called IoT or Internet of Things.
Email has become a fundamental part of our everyday communication, whether we’re sending a simple message to a friend or relaying critical information in a business setting. However, we often overlook the unsung hero behind this seamless experience: the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, or SMTP. Imagine being able to send an email without worrying if it would arrive safely or be intercepted along the way.
In the digital age, emails have become one of our main ways to communicate, whether it’s sharing important updates with colleagues or sending family photos. But imagine sending an email only for it to vanish into the vastness of cyberspace because your domain isn’t set up correctly. That’s where SPF records come in—they act like a security guard at the email gate, verifying that messages sent from your domain are legitimate and keeping spam at bay.
State-sponsored hacktivism is on the rise. Script kiddies use pre-existing scripts while others employ highly sophisticated tactics using diverse tools and resources. Attackers are scouring GitHub for sensitive information on GitHub and trying to steal critical information from repositories. Security breaches happen when they gain unauthorized access to the source code. This week, we’re reviewing a series of the latest cybersecurity incidents by closely analyzing their attack trends and threat vectors. We’ll also discuss how a significant cryptocurrency exchange organization was the victim of a massive crypto attack and explore how the FatalRAT malware targeted organizations across APAC. Below is a summary of the latest findings.
Email marketing is the most effective digital marketing strategy. That’s because its ROI (return on investment) is the highest—3600% to 4200%.
But that’s not for any ordinary email marketing campaign. For that much ROI, your emails have to be highly personalized. In different studies, 82% of marketers reported an increase in their open rates with personalization.
The role of canonicalization in preventing email breakage in DKIM
by DuoCircle
DKIM policy secures your email communications by detecting any kind of tampering or alterations during the transit. However, the journey from your outbox to a receiving inbox is an intricate one. Since emails get delivered super quick, we fail to notice the minor changes that take place during the process. The mail systems may lead to certain minor changes in the email content (line breaks, case differences, whitespace, and so on). Even though the changes may not appear to be too major, they can affect the integrity of the email, thereby resulting in DKIM failure. In order to avoid these instances of false negatives, you must focus on canonicalizing your emails.
