One of the ways I judge the #credibility of a #tech #professional is whether or not they use a #gmail account as their primary #email address. Using #GoogleMail, especially in #Europe, is clear sign that the person does not pay attention to #privacy (or to the #enshittification of the Internet for that matter). Tech privacy is #TechPolicy.

PoisonSeed Campaign Targets CRM and Bulk Email Providers in Supply Chain Spam Operation

A new threat group, dubbed PoisonSeed, is targeting enterprise organizations and individuals outside the cryptocurrency industry. The campaign focuses on phishing CRM and bulk email providers' credentials to export email lists and send bulk spam. The attackers use a cryptocurrency seed phrase poisoning attack, providing security seed phrases to trick victims into compromising their wallets. Similarities have been detected between PoisonSeed, Scattered Spider, and CryptoChameleon, but the campaign is being classified separately due to unique characteristics. The attackers have set up phishing pages for prominent CRM and bulk email companies, including Mailchimp, SendGrid, Hubspot, Mailgun, and Zoho. Once credentials are phished, the process of bulk downloading email lists appears to be automated. The campaign also involves spam sent from compromised accounts, including a notable breach of an Akamai SendGrid account.

I will always prefer #email as a form of communication. Well defined standard and its pieces are being used in multiple other protocols.

Today's #SpammerDuJour is Christina Hines, the spammer running for the Democratic Party nomination in my Congressional district, #MI10.

This isn't #email #spam, but rather mobile messaging spam, sending out a full body shot and an appeal for money. This is the second such event for me from #MIDEMS and it is not a welcome one. I will be giving them absolutely no money this cycle.

#Michigan #Democrats #slimeballspammers.

Are activists still using proton mail? What's a good provider for an antizionist group?

If you're using #GMail and you've learned about their latest claim to introduce real end-to-end #encryption: it's a lie.

Google has the control and/or you can't do anything against that Google takes control any time.

Real #E2EE works differently: only the sender and receiver are able to access the protected content.

https://michal.sapka.pl/2025/gmail-e2e-is-as-terrible-as-expected/

#Meta also defined E2EE such that the message is encrypted from the sender to them, processed in clear text and re-encrypted for the transmission to the receiver.

Don't let them fool you with false claims and wrong definitions.

Grandoreiro Stealer Targeting Spain and Latin America: Malware Analysis and Decryption Insights

A new campaign utilizing the Brazilian stealer Grandoreiro has been detected targeting Spain and Latin American countries. The malware, active since 2017, aims to steal sensitive information, including banking credentials and personal data. It employs advanced evasion techniques such as string encryption and anti-sandbox measures. The campaign distributes Grandoreiro through phishing emails containing VBS files. Once executed, it performs various checks to evade detection and uses legitimate services for geolocation and DNS resolution. The report provides detailed insights into the malware's behavior and explains the string obfuscation and decryption techniques used in this campaign.

Just to be clear: If #Google decides it’s okay to no longer send non-Gmail users the ACTUAL #email, but only a LINK to some bullshit #proprietary service that you must click to “unlock” the TRUE contents, then Gmail ceases to be an email provider but is merely a spam service which bullies unsuspecting users into using their proprietary crap.

While this seems to be limited to (fake) E2E for now, I’m afraid it could get worse if people do not resist.

I know why I don’t use #Gmail.

#eMail #selfHosting gurus: I am looking for the simplest possible way to host myself a mailbox I can add to my email clients (Thunderbird, phone, etc.) as usual, so I can move mails there to free up space on the 3rd party "real" emails, then back them up separately on my server.

I do not want receiving or sending emails to work. Just an IMAP or whatever box I can shove emails in the face by dragging them in Thunderbird or with a script.

Ideally available in #NixOS

My life is a constant tension between

a. Wanting to be All The Prepared, meet All The #Deadlines, make Everyone Happy, Time All The Management

b. Wanting to # live my life, not #grind it away; to #create, #explore, #love my loved ones; to minimize the % of my life involving #email; to not beat my head against things I don't enjoy

Thus, my life looks like a rolling disaster, sometimes, to some kinds of people.

Working like the 90’s
Yes, we should work like the 90’s and get to disconnected when we leave the office. At my job I don’t ever check my email because I only get around 1 email a month that would involve me and it also involves my boss because he copied me. Thus, he always mentions to me that there is email to deal with. Everything else I do comes in via Github because we’re dealing int

Is anyone aware of a good European Android and iOS app for "e-mail, calendars, contacts, etc" with support for ActiveSync, and other "modern things"?

(Extra plus if it allows for e-mail aliases to be defined and used.)
