Security shortfalls of Outlook

  • In Microsoft Outlook you can’t see email addresses in the reading pane, this “feature” of hiding email addresses possesses a great threat and risk of probable phishing attacks 
  • It makes it difficult to identify the difference between the work email address and the occasional missent message from a home email address.
  • It makes it difficult to tell that mail is auto-generated on behalf of a person, rather than coming from the person themselves.
  • When someone forwards a message, very often the forwarded email address won’t show at all, just “Saju S “
