PGP email security hole

2018-05-14 18:22:43.801163+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Schneie r runs down the risks of that PGP (email plugin + automatic HTML rendering) issue that's scaring everyone.

EFF announcement, which is a little alarmist.

Short take: Don't read HTML email, especially if your reader automatically loads links.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
