As cyber threats evolve, we face growing email security challenges. Hackers and cyber criminals relentlessly continue to attack businesses as users continue to fall for email scams. That’s why we must continue to be aware of the best practices for securing our email.
Product Alert: AntiVirus Update
One of our security technology partners, Cyren, recently announced a rapid liquidation of the company and its products. MDaemon Antivirus and SecurityGateway™ use Cyren's antivirus/malware and antispam technologies as additional security layers. Although the Cyren services are currently running and providing updates in our software, we are taking immediate action to replace and/or remove those technologies. Read More.
We’re excited to announce the release of MDaemon 23. This latest version of the trusted email server software includes highly-anticipated enhancements for integration with GMail and Microsoft 365, as well as administrative and usability improvements.
Did you know that over 80 percent of company data breaches are caused by poor passwords?
According to a recent study:
- Over 555 million passwords have been stolen by hackers in the last 5 years
- 44% of users reuse their passwords across personal and business-related accounts
- 31% of users have used their child’s name or birthday for their passwords
One of the biggest challenges for businesses is getting their users to use strong, unique passwords that are hard to guess, and this is made worse by the fact that users tend to reuse passwords across multiple accounts, making them an easier target for cybercriminals.

Threat actors are continuing their assault on businesses, individuals, and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) this year, and email is still the top vector. As your clients turn to you for secure services, you need to make sure you have the right email security solution in place to protect your customers.
Beating the Odds
In July of 2022, MDaemon Technologies (formerly Alt-N Technologies) celebrated a unique milestone for a software company: 25 years in business.
You are probably familiar with the statistics: the average lifespan of an American company is 11.5 years. For startup companies, less than 10% remain after ten years (Businessdatalist.com). So how does a small software company in Texas defy the odds and compete against some of the largest companies in the email and security industry to build a loyal customer base that spans 140 countries? I know it sounds like a cliché, but listening to customers and providing an affordable, reliable product backed by great customer support have been the ingredients to our success.
As part of a product's natural lifecycle, MDaemon Technologies has ended the development, sales, and support (free or paid) of its RelayFax software effective June 30, 2022.
These days, hackers are gaining access to increasingly sophisticated tools to steal your usernames and passwords, and they know that people continue to use weak passwords for banking, utilities, and much more. In fact, even in 2024, did you know the word “password” is still among the top ten most common passwords?
For hackers, it’s a numbers game. Three billion phishing emails are sent every day, but all they need is for one of them to find a willing victim and do damage to your network.
If you leave email security up to users, you’re in a world of trouble.
