Royal Baby: Third in Line to the Throne, First in Line as a Threat Lure!

The Websense Security Labs has been tracking malicious cyber-campaigns that started in the hours following the official announcement that the Duchess of Cambridge was in labour. The campaigns detected so far are utilising email lures, which either redirect unsuspecting victims to Blackhole Exploit Kit URLs or, indeed, provide malicious attachments in the form of Windows SCR files in an attempt to dupe users.

Curiosity around the future heir to the British throne is reaching new levels with the BBC reporting that Monday was the biggest global day and second biggest UK day ever for BBC News online with 19.4m unique browsers globally and 10.8m from the UK.

Mimecast large file Send for Outlook makes file sharing easy and secure

New service will eliminate Shadow IT risk from consumer cloud services, and make it easy for users to send large files safely and securely from Outlook

London, U.K: Mimecast has announced Large File Send for Outlook a new service that makes sending large files secure and easy for users but meets the governance and management needs of IT staff. The service will eliminate a common data security or ‘Shadow IT’ threat caused when users turn to consumer cloud file sharing services to send files because their corporate email service prohibits this. With Large File Send the user simply attaches a file to their email in Outlook as usual and presses send. The Mimecast service then intercepts the file, notifies the recipient of their secure download location and passcode. The user never needs to leave Outlook and the file doesn’t burden the email system or leave the network but remains secure and compliant with corporate policies. Mimecast Large File Send for Outlook will be available to customers in August.
