Arrrr!! but sadly us 'normals' are on the decline, normality as checking the road three times before crossing was once a very normal and very sensible thing to do. So often I now see mainly young people with their nose in their mobile who just walk into a road with traffic and then screen and shot at a driver who has had to slam on their breaks and the pedestrians truly believes the driver is in the wrong. The same goes for people reading their emails who now instinctively as they do walking and looking at their mobiles click onto hypertext. Sadly, the day of 'normals, will soon be no more.e

It is getting to the point that flying to the sender and visiting them in person might actually be easier than exercising this level of scrutiny for every one of the hundreds of emails that show up every morning.

The idea is to run these checks when you come across something fishy, not for every email you receive. Problem is that what's shown here is pretty much all specific to gmail. (Thunderbird is my client software, and it's not even mentioned.) I check the full header when in doubt; it's mostly gibberish but the domains do stick out, and in my experience you'll find the usual suspects (.in .ru .cn .bg etc.) if it's spam or a scam.

This is great , as a person who used to play with other companies open SMTP gateways for fun this is interesting, but they have tightened up the rules now with these SPF/DKIM and DMARC records. Thank you for this as it was fun to get a refresher for SMTP.

The fact that there needs to be a 30 minute video explaining all of this tells me that these big tech companies have some interest in not protecting their users. Most, if not all of this, seems like checks that could be built into our email clients fairly easily.

Thank you for making this video. I think this topic is very important and everyone should know about this.

I set up my domain to do email not too long ago. I had to jump through all these hoops to set it up correctly. Happy to finally know what I was verifying. Apparently security is super important if you want to run your own mail server and also for stuff not to land in spam boxes. I passed all checks with the only caveat that I have to use an SMTP relay because no static IP. It doesn't show any via text, but it does show mailed-by.

This video is a real eye-opener

The no.1 spot channel to learn the very useful thing, thanks for the tutorial!

this video is amazing , I always thought that I know my stuff and can't be scammed but I learned a lot thank you , this video deserve a billion views and likes

Actually in outlook, if you just hover the mouse over each sender in the inbox, it will show you who the real sender is. So if the return email doesn't match the actual sender, then you know its a phishing email without ever having to open it.

Also, in Outlook, I have found that using the "RULES" feature helps to keep the repeat offenders away. It's a pain to set up an exclusion rule for each of the dozens of bad players per day the first time around, but after a while you will notice that you don't get "re-visited". It IS useful. Also, for some reason, most spam (for me) originates from Gmail. I tried setting up a rule to exclude any mail from Gmail, but that backfired. I now create a rule for each jerk who sends their trap-laden tripe my way.

Now I have to explain all of this to my parents.

As mailserver admin, overall a solid video. I do think it's a bit...weird to show the "X% of domains use SPF" statistic when the absolute majority of domains have never and never will send mails. Most people outsource their mails to providers nowadays, because, as you've shown brilliantly in this video, email is a pain.

Quite useful information-- you have matured well beyond your original "How to make your internet connection faster" gag video, which-- for a while, at least-- did no favors for your reputation.

Oh boy. Thumbs up BUT despite your hard work and detailed explanations it's all beyond my understanding. I did learn a few things though, some of them that I actually have the capacity to absorb. I know that people who really know their subject want to pass the information to their audience which results in going into overtime. It's what happens when you know your stuff. It's obvious that you know it. I have screwed up my computer in so many ways and so often (I'm in the middle of screwing up my outlook) that I don't even know how to reverse it or how to fix it, or how I got there in the first place. Although, from videos like yours I've learned to do a couple of things with questionable email. I don't open anything and I block the sender. Mine is just for home use though, and I can imagine that business computers and their email have to be scrutinized. See, I went further than I intended to as well.

I think the most important thing you can do is be skeptical. Ask twice. If you don't know how to verify something, get someone tech savvy to do it for you. It's what I do when people write really scammy-looking mails but it isn't clear whether they're real: I just ring them on the channels I know, asking if the thing is from them. Mails are never urgent. If someone writes a scammy-looking mail, they will have to live with you not responding to it.

Look up BotNets. A cyber criminal can basically turn your computer into a Zombie that will download malware, log your passwords, use your connection to attack other websites, and many other malicious things without you even knowing it. One of the signs is a very slow or overloaded CPU even though you are not running many programs. I got them on my PC once when I shared an open wifi connection and it was hell trying to get rid of it.

Speaking of similar looking unicode characters. It would be cool if they color coded or used bold/italics for any character outside the ascii range. For example: Standard ascii characters would just be black like it usually is and other character would have a color, like red for example. Also, it would give you a warning to let you know what it means like "NOTICE: Colored/bolded character(s) detected. Phishers may use this to their advantage.". It would help alot since I have bad vision and the examples you've shown look pretty much the same (The fake 'a' and real one).

Excellent video! Bravo for educating internet users how to do these checks. On Apple Mac Mail there is a little drop down arrow right of the sender Name, clicking on it reveals the original address, so this is easy to do without hitting reply as suggested in the video.

This explanation saved me from being hacked. Thanks so much!

Fun fact: this "g" is not a g.

Fun fact, many Greek letters look really alike with Latin ones. The Greek i (ι) when capital is the same with capital i and almost the same with lowercase L. The lowercase v looks like the Greek lowercase N (ν). Uppercase K, Z, P (in Greek that character is used for R), B, A, E, T, Y, H and X. So if someone wants to scam you in Greek, they can but only in a handful of letters and mostly capital.

Why would they allowed to use non-ASCII characters in email address?

Because email addresses aren't country-locked, so if they want to support emails from, say, Russia, they need to support the Cyrillic alphabet.

@@AijeAstralos The US could force airplanes use English for communication all around the world because the US was the one that come up with it. The same story with the internet. Why don't e-mail use ASCII characters for its addresses?

This was very in-depth. Thank you. My father, who is 72 years old, fell for a phishing email. Fortunately I noticed it just a few minutes later, and had him cancel his card, and change is email password. That could have been bad.

Been waiting for this video for so long , going to pass it to my 5 old niece , Thanks Joe
