Shut The Front Door On Email Attacks: How To Scale Security Services Without Increasing Workload
Bitdefender, Thursday, April 2nd, 2026
Email remains the primary entry point for cyberattacks, driven largely by phishing and account compromise. For attackers, it is often the simplest and most scalable way to gain access: send enough emails, and eventually, someone clicks. What's changing is not the entry point, but the sophistication of the attacks.
Modern attackers increasingly use compromised legitimate accounts, leverage trusted platforms such as Microsoft 365 or OneDrive, and delay malicious payloads to evade detection. As a result, even well-protected environments still see threats reaching the inbox.
