Cybercriminals are finding new ways to hide important security emails like alerts warning that your account was accessed from another device. 📧⚠️ One growing tactic is called email bombing, where attackers sign your address up on hundreds of legitimate websites at once. 🌊💻
Each website sends an automatic confirmation email, burying real alerts under a wave of notifications. 📥 Because those emails come from trusted domains, they often bypass spam filters, so your inbox fills up fast and you might miss the one critical email that signals danger. 🚨
Once your inbox is overloaded, attackers can take advantage by sending another deceptive email, pretending to be tech support or your company’s IT team. 💼🔍 Their goal is to get you to click a malicious link or share credentials before you realize the real alert was lost in the noise.
How to stay protected: 🛡️
– Watch for sudden spikes in incoming emails from random websites. 📊
– Create inbox rules to group or flag unfamiliar senders. ⚙️
– Separate personal, work, and recovery email addresses. 🔑
– Enable text or authenticator app alerts, not just email ones. 📲
– Train employees to spot email overload attacks and report them. 👥
Staying alert to how hackers misuse email systems helps you stay a step ahead and ensures real security alerts are seen and acted on quickly. 🚀 Contact Bernie Orglmeister today at support@skyviewtek.com or call 610‑590‑5006 to strengthen your organization’s email protection. 📧🔒
