Getting Serious About Your Email System

In a previous post we noted the massive 2014 data breach involving some 500 million Yahoo accounts. Since then, the company disclosed a 2013 breach that exposed the contact information of more than 1 billion account holders.

Many of these accounts were no doubt set up by customers who wanted to use Yahoo Mail – customers who are now scrambling to shut down those accounts and migrate their email to another platform. If you've been relying on free DIY email solutions for your business, it's time to get serious about this essential aspect of your IT.

Free email platforms have enjoyed widespread use for many years now, from Yahoo Mail and Google's Gmail to various other old favorites such as Hotmail. People would even set up email accounts with various services and then abandon them, leaving a trail of old accounts that remain open – and therefore vulnerable to hackers. As risky as this behavior is for personal email account holders, it's potentially disastrous for enterprises seeking to avoid a blizzard a malware and other attacks. Those giant email providers obviously aren't bulletproof as far as security is concerned, nor are they in much of a position to help you find safer alternatives and migrate your data to them.
