Microsoft fights 'email bombing' attacks with Office 365 security update

In a note regarding the new update, Microsoft wrote: "We're introducing a new detection capability in Microsoft Defender for Office 365 to help protect your organization from a growing threat known as email bombing. This form of abuse floods mailboxes with high volumes of email to obscure important messages or overwhelm systems. The new ‘Mail Bombing' detection will automatically identify and block these attacks, helping security teams maintain visibility into real threats."

Mail Bombing Detection will be available via Microsoft Defender for Office 365 soon, with the update starting to roll out in late June and completing its rollout by late July. The new feature will be enabled by default, so email bombing should start going straight to the trash.

How to secure your printer with Windows 11's new Protected Print mode

In 2021, for example, a security vulnerability in the printer spooler was found that allowed attackers to gain system rights. System rights are one level above administrator rights and allow the installation of arbitrary applications and almost unlimited changes to Windows settings.

As new patches had to be developed for several months to close the gap, it was finally given the name "Print Nightmare".

In Windows 11 24H2, Microsoft has now integrated the Windows Protected Print mode, or WPP for short, which was announced some time ago. It replaces the manufacturer's drivers on many printers and at the same time prevents the installation of new printer drivers.

This is intended to prevent malicious code from entering the computer via the drivers. It also ensures that the common tasks of the printer spooler are no longer executed with system rights, but only with user rights. In this way, Microsoft is closing the security gap that led to the Print Nightmare.
