The Growing Threat of Cybercrime and Mars Edge Tech’s Response

Cybercrime continues to escalate as one of the most significant global risks, with the cost expected to reach $8 trillion in 2023 and projected to hit $10.5 trillion annually by 2025. If cybercrime were measured as a country, it would rank as the world’s third-largest economy, following the U.S. and China.

Phishing emails are currently at the forefront of cybersecurity threats, often employing spoofing techniques where messages are crafted with fake sender addresses. One of the common tactics used is typosquatting, where slight typing errors are introduced into domain names to trick recipients. For instance: marsedgetech.com, marsedgeteck.com, marsedgtech.com.

More advanced spoofing techniques can make it nearly impossible for users to distinguish between legitimate messages and those sent by malicious actors.

To safeguard its communications, Mars Edge Tech has adopted three essential protocols across all its domains to ensure the authenticity and reliability of email messages:

• SPF (Sender Policy Framework): This protocol allows domain owners to specify which IP addresses are authorized to send emails on behalf of their domain. It helps receiving servers verify that emails appearing to come from a specific domain are sent from servers authorized by the domain owner.

• DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail): DKIM adds a digital signature to every email sent. This signature enables receiving servers to verify that the emails are authentic and have not been tampered with during transmission.

• DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance): DMARC provides instructions to receiving mail servers on how to handle messages that fail authentication checks. It helps prevent unauthorized use of a domain by guiding servers on whether to reject, quarantine, or allow emails that don’t pass these checks.

Mars Edge Tech strongly recommends that all recipients of emails appearing to come from any of its domains should always verify the SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. Any communications that fail to meet these checks should be treated as suspicious and rejected.

The adoption of these protocols is a strategic move by Mars Edge Tech to enhance the security of its email communications. The company also urges all partners and entities within its supply chain to implement these protocols to strengthen overall cybersecurity resilience.
