Gang,
I read this article this morning, and I’ve been pondering how to write it up.
The image depicts a digital envelope icon made of glowing red lines and nodes, suggesting communication or email. The background is a dark red gradient with a network of interconnecting lines and nodes. Smaller envelope icons are visible in the background, emphasizing the theme of digital communication or data exchange. Email has been around for many many years, longer than Gmail and Yahoo combined.
Before Windows, we accessed Email through programs like Pine and Elm. It was all text based, but it eventually allowed us to start sending and receiving attachments through GUI based clients like Eudora, Outlook Express, Thunderbird and possibly others.
The image is a world map displaying data through color coding and numbers. Each country is shaded in varying colors, representing different data values. Numbers on each country likely indicate specific measurements or statistics. The United States is highlighted in dark red with “3M” labeled, suggesting it has the highest value, while other countries have varying shades of red, orange, and blue. The map visually represents global data distribution, emphasizing higher values in specific regions. This is quite concerning, as we don’t really know what servers could be out there. We do know that pop and imap are the common methods of getting mail on to ones device whether it is a phone, tablet or computer.
Imap allows you to have everything syncronized, while pop3 pops the mailbox and deletes the mail unless you check a box. But it’ll redownload it as it has no idea what was read or not.
The article has tons of information about what this is and what’s going on.
Over 3 million mail servers without encryption exposed to sniffing attacks is the article.
