Presented at Powerofcommunity 2017 by

One of the central points of failure is an email address. We used to get access to our bank accounts, social networks and much more. For SMB and Enterprise - email address most often targeted entry point for advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks. But how good we are at protecting our e-mail accounts? There is always a compromise between security and usability. Still remember times when you need to enter obtain all information about smtp/pop/imap servers and enter them in order to configure your e-mail account. Now it is as simple as just typing your email and password. But when you rely on technology that simplifies your life, it is always complex and sophisticated inside and there is always huge chance of failure to implement it. In our presentation we will disclose severe vulnerability of mail clients ,as well, as software services that could lead an attacker to take over the access to sensitive user information, sometimes including usernames and passwords. We’ll also demonstrate how improper email client implementation leak user credentials and what software developers, server administrators and users can do to prevent it. Attendees will see live data feed with popular email client names and who’s leaking what. We will demo Apple iPhone wiping using above mentioned vulnerability.
