We quarantine all emails with html attachments (such as the secure Cisco email), since the majority (90%+) we see are trojans or phishing. Same for zip files in email, believe it or not. Those are easily topping 99.9% trojans (thousands received in the past week). Same for dozens of more obscure attachment types. Recipients get a quarantine notification if the originating mail server is not also a known spam source. If the email is legit and needed, they request it being released. I see zero to two zip file recovery requests a week, tops.
I don't trust an antivirus system enough to allow users to decide whether or not to open attachment types that are overwhelmingly used maliciously in email. But, I get the need for occasional, easy-to-use secure messaging and the tradeoff between irritation and security. -- Mark From: David McSpadden <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: 12/09/2015 09:04 AM Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Encry pting File Attachments Sent by: [email protected] Well, It is better than seeing my members data on FoxNews I suppose.
