“I am a hacker who has access to your operating system. I also have full access to your account. I’ve been watching you for a few months now. The fact is that you were impacted with malware through an adult site that you visited.”

“In a year already marred by natural and biological crises, cybersecurity failures remain a critical threat. 

It’s been several weeks since many companies (mine included) implemented a remote working policy to keep our employees safe in light of the evolving COVID-19 situation.

Natural and man-made disasters can strike at any time, and the physical & mental well-being of our family, friends and colleagues remain the top priority.

As you are probably aware, we announced incentive programs for our partners and resellers at the start of this year. 

MailGuard is delighted to announce a new product enhancement – an optimised email quarantine preview.

As the COVID-19 crisis continues to evolve, uncertainty has become the new norm, with many businesses grappling to keep their people and their data secure. 

The start of this year hasn’t been a great one in terms of cyber-attacks. From phishing emails, to ransomware attacks to malicious payloads, cybercriminals have used a range of techniques to strike well-established organisations around the world. 

As many of you know by now, logistics giant Toll Group was in the news last week after they were hit by a ransomware attack called Mailto. This attack is usually delivered via an infected email, that was most likely clicked on by an unsuspecting employee which then infects systems running on Microsoft Windows, encrypting files and leaving a ransom note on-screen. The note says that the only way to get the files back is by paying a ransom in Bitcoin.
