Despite the rumors announcing the death of email, its use continues to grow. According to research, email traffic is predicted to grow to over 424 billion emails sent per day by 2028. And as long as businesses continue to use email, cybercriminals will find new ways to exploit security gaps, software bugs, and basic human nature to extort millions of dollars from their victims. That’s why you need the additional protection offered by SecurityGateway for Email to protect against email-borne threats. 

As of this year, Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) has grown to more than 345 million paid subscribers, and businesses continue to use the platform, with its commercial base now topping 440 million seats worldwide. But as those subscription numbers keep climbing, Microsoft 365 becomes an even bigger target for cybercriminals looking to spread phishing, ransomware, and a new wave of AI-generated attacks.

Today, Microsoft is ending support for Windows 7. And while MDaemon and Security Gateway continue to support Windows 7, it’s a good idea to consider updating your Windows installation or migrating to an updated system.

Earlier this week, I heard an interesting interview on NPR’s Morning Edition with a recent victim of Business Email Compromise (BEC), a growing threat that uses social engineering to exploit human nature in order to divert massive amounts of money to cybercriminals.

If you're in charge of managing your company's email, whether you're running an in-house Exchange server or Office 365, you've certainly become all too familiar with the latest threats posed by cybercriminals - threats that go far beyond the old-school Nigerian Prince email scam that has become the brunt of jokes over the past couple of decades. So if protecting your employees from email-borne scams is important to you & your business, a secure email gateway to protect against phishing, malware, data leaks and other threats would be a sound investment.

Online scams are nothing new. But as email has evolved and improved, so have scammers and the messages they send. Nefarious emails, attachments and links now appear sophisticated and look legitimate, sometimes tricking even the most meticulous user.

Keeping up with data privacy regulations has only gotten harder. What was once a handful of rules now looks like a patchwork: by 2026, roughly 20 U.S. states have comprehensive consumer privacy laws in effect (Indiana, Kentucky, and Rhode Island are the latest, online as of January 1), alongside the GDPR overseas, HIPAA in healthcare, and industry-specific retention and security mandates. And as these laws continue to evolve, businesses have to evolve with them.

The news is out. There’s a new version of MDaemon Email Server, with new features and improvements to benefit both administrators and end-users alike!

This week, Threatpost reported on a new spear-phishing attack that uses email sent via Google Drive claiming to be the CEO of the targeted company sharing important information with the recipients.  The email came from Google Drive, but the sender address didn't match the company's standard naming convention for email addresses.
