I received this morning email, with the title "Pending Delivery On Your e-Mail". It comes from email [email protected], and with the text:
"
Dear aleksandar.jevremovic,
You have Three (3) Messages Pending Delivery On Your e-Mail Portal Since: 10 January, 2020.
This messages can be viewed by the subject of each message or proceed to Mail Update Now to Release Message on your e-Mail Account below.
User ID : aleksandar.jevremovic
Domain: domain.com "
They put a table with three emails that "pending", with realistic titles, as you can see below:
And OK, it's nothing extraordinary, this is kind of titles you can receive every day, and after two simply checks I found out it is a spam (it's simple to see where they want to redirect you), but for a people with less knowledge of basic things about mail security, this kind of mail can be a problem, because most of them will just check mail address from the sender (an example, I didn't know that your domain is finishing with net, and not with com), and continue with following the sender’s instructions.
So, because I'm also on the low level of security settings, what can we do to be more protected from this kind of threats?
