Interview with Tutanota - Please submit your questions for our interview!

The e-mail provider "Tutanota" in an interview. How secure is the German mail provider really? How do they deal with the DDoS attacks?

The well-known German e-mail provider "Tutanota" for you in an interview. The past weeks were not easy for the German mail provider based in Hannover, which is very popular with many people. Serious DDoS attacks in the past few weeks have made it impossible for users to retrieve their mails from time to time. Even the Tutanota website was partially unavailable. But one does not give up: "now we have to fight for our right to privacy".

The company email promised bonuses. It was a hoax — and Tribune Publishing employees are furious.

The company apologized for the email intended to test its cyberdefenses

Employees of the Tribune Publishing Company were momentarily thrilled Wednesday after they received a company email announcing that they were each getting a bonus of up to $10,000, to “thank you for your ongoing commitment to excellence.”

To see how big their bonus would be, they just had to click on a link that … well, that’s when they learned they had failed the test. And there was no bonus at all.

The entire charade was Tribune’s effort to test its collective defenses against Internet scams that tempt email recipients to click on a link that has the effect of interfering with computer systems or getting them to volunteer personal data. To bolster caution, many companies have taken to sending out these kinds of tests to their employees and taking note of how many fall for a scam.

Privacy / Interviews - Tutanota wants to file a complaint at the BGH (Federal Supreme Court)

Because of the court decision by the Regional Court of Cologne, the anonymous e-mail service Tutanota wants to bring about a decision by the highest court.

The anonymous e-mail service Tutanota wants to bring about a decision by the supreme court in response to the court ruling by the Cologne Regional Court. The company does not agree that they must provide the LKA NRW with access to unencrypted messages for individual users. However, the judgement does not indicate that the company has had a major impact on the German market to date.

The Regional Court of Cologne is forcing the cryptology service Tutanota to rebuild its technical infrastructure again. Once again, the company from Hanover is to guarantee the investigators access to individual accounts. The public prosecutor's office wants direct access to non-encrypted messages of an extortionist. Despite our current interview, we have again followed up on the incident with press spokeswoman Hanna Bozakov.

K-9 Mail is looking for funding

Spy pixels in emails have become endemic

The use of "invisible" tracking tech in emails is now "endemic", according to a messaging service that analysed its traffic at the BBC's request.

Hey's review indicated that two-thirds of emails sent to its users' personal accounts contained a "spy pixel", even after excluding for spam.

Its makers said that many of the largest brands used email pixels, with the exception of the "big tech" firms.

Defenders of the trackers say they are a commonplace marketing tactic.

And several of the companies involved noted their use of such tech was mentioned within their wider privacy policies.

‼️ Emails pixels can be used to log:

❌ if and when an email is opened

❌ how many times it is opened

❌ what device or devices are involved

❌ the user's rough physical location, deduced from their internet protocol (IP) address - in some cases making it possible to see the street the recipient is on

This information can then be used to determine the impact of a specific email campaign, as well as to feed into more detailed customer profiles.

Hey's co-founder David Heinemeier Hansson says they amount to a "grotesque invasion of privacy".

How to Tell Which Emails Quietly Track You

Everyone sends emails now: political parties, your book club, freelance journalists, the social networks you're signed up to, your parents, that online store that you only bought one item from a decade ago, and many, many more.

What do a lot of those email senders have in common? They want to know whether the messages they send you are being opened, and there are a variety of tools available to help them do just that—tools that aren't all that hard to use.

A tracking pixel, embedded somewhere in the email, is how most people monitor whether an email gets opened. Once the tiny, hidden single-pixel image is loaded, it reports back to base. Their use across emails is now up to "endemic" levels according to some experts.

Tracking pixels can report the times and dates their associated email was opened, as well as the location of the device used, and the email client involved. That's a lot of data to feed back to a third-party that you might not know much about.

mnm is not mail

A sane network protocol for email, to end attacks and promote productivity.

Email has become a universal cybercrime portal. It allows anyone, claiming any identity, to send you any content, any number of times. And it’s long been an obstacle to productivity and effective communication. Many apps & services have offered to replace it. But email is a network of diverse software & sites. A network can’t be replaced by a product or service.

The mnm project enables a new email network: a sane, simple protocol, a client, and a server. It’s designed for everyone, but especially:

👉🏼 Organizations where a phishing attack could be catastrophic. Examples: manufacturing, public infrastructure, government, finance, research & development, information technology.

👉🏼 Services and websites whose clients dislike the message scanning done by webmail providers. Examples: legal affairs, health care, job search, family matters.

💡 mnm has two major goals:

1) To provide a far safer correspondence model, where you:

+ choose the organizations/sites that relay your correspondence
+ select which members of a site can correspond with you
+ always know from which site a message originated
+ can block anyone with whom you’ve made contact
+ may leave a site and never see traffic from it again

2) To offer capabilities missing in traditional email, including:

+ message formatting & layout via Markdown (aka CommonMark)
+ hyperlinks to messages and other threads
+ hashtags and private tags
+ slide deck layouts
+ data-driven charts & graphs
+ forms/surveys whose results are collected into tables
+ many more features to foster focus, creativity, efficiency, and understanding

👉🏼 Try the mnm client, tell us what you think (Live Demo)
https://mnmnotmail.org/demo.html

👉🏼 The client and server are open source, subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public License, v2.0.
