Hello, Anne,

I appreciate you giving us some details to start with, thank you. We've
investigated and found the source. We've restarted conversations internally
about sending explicit, permission-based mail that complies with the same
anti-spam policy to which we hold our customers.

[mailop] [CHANGE OF TOPIC] Growing Threat of Email Authentication Bots, Have a safe and happy 2019

2019-01-10 Thread Michael Peddemors
As most of you know, we produce email servers and spam protection 
products, but we have been expanding our security and threat detection 
products, but is is amazing the increase lately in email authentication 
attacks...  We all know about the number of compromised IoT devices on 
the Internet, but it does seem that there is a trend away from using 
them for spam attacks, to a stronger emphasis on authentication attacks.


And as part of our tool kits, we have strongly been advocating for 
extended SMTP/IMAP/POP authentication with CLIENT_ID (off topic) so that 
every email platform (not just the big guys) can start restricting 
authentication attempts no matter what technology, or email client is used.


As well, we have various real time 'Advanced Threat Detection' tools 
(again off topic) but thought we would share some data points with you..


Many systems of course can detect brute force, but the distributed size 
of the botnets (some reported to contain over 1.7 million nodes) creates 
a different environment.. Authentication is one area where blocking by 
IP is not always expedient or workable, especially in an environment of 
dynamic IP(s) and shared IP(s), (there are ways to identify and stop 
attacks used by many organizations and security companies.. but it does 
get more complex)


For instance, in a 24 hour period a single bot net, mostly based from 
asian IP(s) and networks, can reach incredible levels.. Now, this isn't 
the list for discussing the particular botnet.. but a small sampling 
gives an idea of traditional authentication systems can get overwhelmed 
when the attacks are disseminated broadly enough..


A single botnet spread out it's authentication attacks across 3200 IP(s) 
all with a single attempt each, in a 24 hour period.. Mostly from 
Chinese, Vietnamese, Brazilian and Indian ISP(s) probably not 
surprising, and that is JUST ONE botnet in play out of many..


And while yes, your customers DO go on vacation, if you don't have 
something like CLIENT ID in place, you should at least bring it down to 
a manageable level by doing 'Country Authentication' blocking (yes, all 
our products have it, but again off topic..)


Looking at just the portion of this botnet coming from one vietnamese 
network, gives a sense of this..


(See bottom)

Our SpamAuditors are preparing a blog on the topic, if you really want 
to know more, but just wanted to raise awareness in the community as to 
the increasing scale worldwide in the recent months..


A botnet of scale, can easily afford such efforts, if ONLY to get access 
to the people still using 'qwerty' for a password.  However, much of the 
botnet authentication attacks are leveraging data found in recent data 
breaches..


While targetted 'brute force' attacks still occur, the sheer scale of 
dictionary style foraging for 'michael' with a weak password has reached 
all time highs..


(Oh, yes.. time to stop using just the 'username' for authentication as 
well... )


* Enforce Full Email Address
* Provide some level of 2FA (CLIENT ID is simple)
* Authentication ONLY over encrypted channels
* Enable or Offer Authentication Restriction Options

And use your 'clout' to encourage these ISP's to do something about all 
the compromised devices on their networks.. these type of botnets are 
easy to find..


-- Have a Safe and Happy 2019,

Re: [mailop] Campaign Monitor Spewing Their Own Spam Now

2019-01-10 Thread Anne P. Mitchell, Esq.
Hello, Carissa,

Generally we are used to dealing with an individual - upon receipt of the first 
spam from your Faye Nagpigkit to a role account (!), on January 8, I wrote to 
your abuse@ asking for Heather to contact me (this is how we have always worked 
with you guys in in the past). I never heard back, so I sent a second follow up 
to abuse@ again yesterday, with absolutely no response (frankly I was very 
surprised, as this has not been the case in the past) - however, Ms. Nagpigkit 
*did* send us a another spam today, to the same role account, having not heard 
back from us (obviously) because "she knows I have a ton in my inbox". How very 
thoughtful.

Clearly that is a stated "dislike" of an entity's practice.



Your PREVIOUS use of the word "dislike" implied that my opinions about a 
particular entity were biased an based upon my allegedly "disliking" a 
particular entity (not disliking their practices, disliking THEM). And 
it implied that my opinions about your opinions were biased by that 
dislike. At least, that is the way I interpreted your comment below. 
Yes, I disliked this one practice of theirs (referring to multiple orgs 
here), but not because I dislike them, nor was my alleged "dislike" of 
them (which isn't actually the case - I don't have enough info on "them" 
to form such an opinion) any kind of basis for disliking this one 
particular practice. There is even a possibility that I could "like" 
them overall, but STILL "dislike" this practice.


For context, here is your previous comment, to which I had responded:

At least once, if not multiple times you have expressed to me the
following:

So, admittedly, I'm confused about your responses. Clearly, to me, it
seems that you feel I have no idea about what I am saying, therefore my
experienced opinion (which btw was also stated by others) is lacking.

I'm done wagging this dog, have your last words and revel in them.

Jim,

My focus was always on "best practices" and principles - and I think I 
did a pretty good job of avoiding "naming names" (go back and see for 
yourself). If someone was reading your statement above - and hadn't 
actually read my earlier few posts I made - they would have a radically 
twisted (and negative) impression of me and what I stated - compared to 
what actually happened.


But I will say this - I sleep well at night knowing that I am 
economically incentivized to run invaluement with the highest ethical 
standards. Why? Because it is in my economic best interest to do my best 
to make sure that our subscribers' customers are (1) happy with what 
invaluement causes to be in the spam folder -AND- (2) happy with what 
invaluement didn't cause to be in the spam folder and that remained in 
the inbox. PERIOD. This is one of the benefits of not being 
overly-entangled with conflicts of interest, due to NOT having economic 
incentives that compete with those two goals.


Also, your defense of situations that involve a "conflict of interest" - 
is basically to say, "but how do you know for sure that the person isn't 
giving in to competing interests or is compromised? and how dare you 
question their judgment!" (to summarize your arguments) - but you're 
sort of missing the point and you're showing a lack of understanding 
about professional ethics when it comes to conflicts of interest. For 
example, if a judge were randomly assigned a case where one side of the 
case was a close blood relative of that judge - that judge would recuse 
himself due to a conflict of interest - and another judge would be 
assigned to the case. So what you're doing is no different than that 
same scenario - except where the judge refuses to recuse himself - and 
then you come along and tell those who complained "how dare you question 
that judge's ability to be impartial - you can't know for sure that he 
will be biased" - Jim - that might be a little bit more of an extreme 
example - but that is basically YOU on this thread.


In that hypothetical situation, if someone were to criticize me for 
questioning whether that judge should be taking that case - and then 
claimed that I was allegedly claiming that this judge was an unethical 
person - BOTH stances are just incredibly offensive and show a childish 
lack of understanding of professional ethics and maturity. That is 
basically what you've done on this thread regarding my criticisms of 
blacklists that accept payment for delistings and/or payments for 
whitelistings. Just because I consider that a conflict of interest - 
doesn't mean that I'm making any kind of specific claim that any 
particular DNSBL is unethical, or run by unethical people. And as far as 
your "you probably shouldn't criticize" - wow - that just an amazing 
statement. It makes me inclined to want to reply in ways that wouldn't 
be professional or nice. So I'll stop here and quit before I put my foot 
in my mouth!

I didn't find shorter than "List of domain names formerly used to receive 
massive amounts of emails" for the title of the page, if someone has a better 
idea, please sho[o|u]t ...

RBL would be useful but I can start a list of defunct domains based on my 
experience, my email history and a few logs. I can't publish a RBL in a blink.
Also in my case, I wouldn't need a MTA to consume the list, I just want to have 
a list, with a date (or a year) of when the domain stopped asking to receive 
emails, so when I spot those domains I would have an indication of the age of 
the database, and do something with that.
It would also show an interesting history of the merges and deaths of emailing 
ecosystems on the Internet.
I'm not convinced about the need to highly document that, and official shutdown 
pages have high chances of being shut as well not long after the domain. But 
there's no problem to describing too much either.
We could also ask Al, or Laura, to maintain this list, but I believe they 
wouldn't mind a little community effort instead. 

I'll create the page on Wikipedia tomorrow, if nobody does it first =)

I think there is a significant difference in a list of defunct sending domains 
and a list of spam traps.

I can see how there is some overlap.  But I don't think that concern of the 
latter precludes the former.

Also, it would be trivial for spam trap operators to disqualify their domains 
by stating that they do send email from said domains.
