Google’s Gmail Upgrade—Why You Need This New Email Address
Deloitte says that email users are now experiencing an ‘infobesity’ through their received emails, making them less cautious to detect phishing attempts. Cybercriminals are resourceful when deceiving users by crafting content and evading detection patterns (customization of content, copy of graphical charter, etc.). Cybercriminals also take advantage of the information users share about themselves through social media, to create tailored and more authentic email templates.”
Email needs a rethink. And in the meantime your account needs a rethink as well. Use the new Shielded Email feature as and when it becomes available, but also give some thought to the longevity and consequent vulnerability of the email address you use today, the primary identifier driving all these attacks. It might be time to open a new account and slowly shift from old to new, leaving the baggage behind.
