EMHS stands for email host security, the project that is hoping to shed light on the big time phishing problem that we have seen more of lately in recent years. Here’s the web site.
Here is what has been posted within the last week to the site.
Blog Posts
Here are the recent blog posts that we have posted there. Note that there is one we added this week from October that we added when going through a more recent article. I explain this in a recent blog post.

Fixes to company entries
We have fixed a couple of things in the company section of the site. There are no new entries. One was some additional information and one was a spelling mistake.
| Phish Labs by Help Systems | Phishlabs was started after a security engineer turned product engineer found that he could take Phishing sites down, but they came back up shortly after. Phishlabs runs a blog that talks about the landscape as well as protecting large companies and their brands from impersonation attacks as well as other attacks they might face. They may reach out to other companies if they detect something that needs taken down. The heading on the home page says it all. It says: “Digital Risk Protection through curated threat intelligence and complete mitigation.” They are now part of Fortra. More info on Fortra on their web site. |
| Virus Total | Virus Total is a service where you can send files and URL’s for analysis. The site will return any negative results, telling you what might be a problem so you can be informed what you receive. For best results if using screen readers, the JRN recommends you use Chrome. |
Terms
There are no new terms this week. Please visit our site for the entire list. During our break, I hope to get this list in to alphabetical order and Know Be4’s link separate from that list as it links to an updated glossary that has continually been updated.
TSB’s page will be updated when the podcast goes up with the next date being the first week in January. We want you to be reminded that as we’re posting this, we’re doing the last show of the year. The JRN will be taking the rest of the year off, and any other podcasts like webinars of interest will go under the technology blog and podcast category.
Find all of our resources and why the site was braught back at email host security and I hope that this finds you well!
