Introduction Enterprise email has evolved far beyond simple communication. Today, it is a mission-critical channel that supports marketing, customer engagement, financial transactions, and internal collaboration. However, as its importance has grown, so has its vulnerability. Cybercriminals increasingly exploit email as their primary attack vector, using techniques like spoofing and phishing to impersonate trusted brands. At…
Last week was replete with threat attacks that managed to create chaos and disrupt essential operations. Ohio-based Scioto County employees were targeted by phishing actors. A group of cybercrooks managed to mimic the FBI to target Tron blockchain users. Meanwhile, the RBI, India’s central bank and financial regulator, was hit as many as 61 million…
Every website you visit relies on a behind-the-scenes system that connects human-friendly domain names to machine-readable IP addresses. Without this system, accessing websites would require memorizing strings of numbers instead of simple URLs. At DMARCReport, we believe that understanding DNS fundamentals is essential not only for website functionality but also for email authentication, deliverability, and…
Handling patient data comes with serious responsibility. Under HIPAA, any information that can identify a patient must be protected at all times. This includes details like names, medical history, prescriptions, and insurance records. For businesses in healthcare and related industries, keeping this data secure is not optional. It is a basic requirement. Email, however, is…
Implementing strict DMARC alignment too quickly risks immediate delivery failures and bounces, widespread false negatives due to SPF/DKIM misalignment (especially across third-party senders and forwarding paths), DNS- and key-rotation–induced outages, uneven handling by major mailbox providers, and collateral damage across subdomains—risks that are avoidable with a phased rollout, rigorous RUA/RUF analysis, and tooling like DMARCReport…
Cyber threats continue to evolve as networks become more interconnected and data moves constantly between devices. While many organizations focus heavily on email-based threats such as phishing or domain spoofing, attackers also exploit weaknesses inside local networks. One of the most common techniques used to intercept network traffic is ARP spoofing. ARP spoofing is a…
Work looks different now, doesn’t it? Employees are the reason. Recent research from Gallup shows that six in ten employees prefer a hybrid work arrangement. No wonder the offices are now spread out, and so is the control IT once had. That makes it much harder to keep everyone secure. This shift has amplified a…
The best tools for checking DMARC alignment across multiple domains are DMARCReport (enterprise-grade bulk and automation), dmarcian, Valimail, Red Sift OnDMARC, Proofpoint Email Fraud Defense, EasyDMARC/PowerDMARC, Cloudflare DMARC Management, and open-source stacks like parsedmarc + ELK or OpenDMARC-based pipelines, all of which can automate alignment checks across hundreds to thousands of domains depending on plan…
A DMARC analyzer like DMARCReport can likely resolve your email spoofing problems if your aggregate DMARC (RUA) data shows concentrated SPF/DKIM failures from a few non-owned IPs or geographies, a low pass/alignment rate (typically below 85%), clear volume spikes during off-hours, and recurring alignment errors tied to specific third-party senders or misconfigurations—signals that a tool…
Social media has become one of the most important communication channels between businesses and their customers. Companies use platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to provide support, respond to complaints, and engage with their audiences. However, cybercriminals have found ways to exploit this trust through a growing scam known as angler phishing. Angler phishing is…
On the surface, implementing DMARC with a strict policy may seem enough to keep your domain secure, but enforcement alone only controls how the receiving server handles emails that fail authentication checks. But what if your legitimate emails start failing authentication checks or unauthorized sources begin sending emails using your domain without your knowledge? To…
Phishing attacks dominated last week’s cyberincidents. Outpost24, a security firm, fell prey to a phishing attack. Intuitive’s company data was breached because of a sophisticated phishing attack. A whopping 900 Starbucks employees are now prone to threat attacks after phishing actors breached the internal employee portal. Meanwhile, a new phishing campaign has been hijacking legitimate…
