In many cases, the banking Trojan Emotet reaches IT infrastructures via contaminated Office files containing so-called macros. A macro is a kind of mini-program that – if permission has been granted – executes a specific sequence of instructions. Cyber criminals have used macros to find a way to infect computers with emotet and other malware. Because they are often not needed, these macros can be prevented from running in Office 365, either manually or through Group Policy – if it weren’t for a glaring vulnerability in certain business versions of Office 365.eklatante Sicherheitslücke in bestimmten Business-Versionen von Office 365.

Every email is vulnerable – theoretically. The journey of an email through the Internet is long, although the speed of transmission often makes this forget. Emails can be intercepted, read, or even modified during transportation. At least if they are sent unencrypted. The consequences may be devastating: Qinthe ancendatous damage, loss of data or loss of image are at risk for all those who exchange emails unencrypted. In addition, unencrypted emails are already no longer compatible with data protection – also with regard to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
One way to enable secure email communication and send information confidentially and securely is to use PKI-based e-mail encryption and signature. PKI stands for Public Key Infrastructure, and the most common standard for such encryption is S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail) Extensions).
New verdict confirms: Messages in emails have legal effect even if they are filtered out and moved to the spam folder.
So-called false positives always pose a risk for many anti-spam solutions. These emails that are incorrectly recognized as spam are then either deleted or moved to quarantine or to the spam folder.
Ransomware such as Locky, WannaCry and GandCrab has been making headlines lately. Criminals use this type of malware to gain access to individual files or the entire computer. At the same time, they prevent access by the rightful owner by means of encryption. The owner is allowed access only after a ransom has been paid.
The University of Rostock replaces Sophos and Vamsoft with the central email relay NoSpamProxy to ensure secure and uninterrupted email communication for more than 16,500 users. With NoSpamProxy Protection, students and staff avoid spam and malware as completely as technically possible.
Dear NoSpamProxy customers,
since a few hours we see in customer environments that send outgoing e-mails from O365 via NoSpamProxy the error “Unable to relay”. We found that Microsoft uses a new certificate to identify all Office 365 email servers, which was issued by a GlobalSign CA rather than Microsoft’s own CA. The NoSpamProxy security check to see if the server is a valid “company e-mail server” fails and the e-mails are rejected. A new Fast Channel Version is available to fix this issue.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
