Google Updating Gmail to Allow Enterprise Users to Send End-to-End Encrypted Emails Across Platforms

Published by Webster

Google is enabling its enterprise users to easily send end-to-end encrypted emails via Gmail. Announced on Wednesday, the Mountain View-based tech giant said that it has made progress in implementing the Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) protocol in an easier way to allow users to send encrypted email to others on Gmail as well as on other email clients. The company said this will allow even those businesses that do not have large IT infrastructure to send encrypted emails with ease. Gmail Is Making It Easier to Send Encrypted Emails In a blog post, Google detailed the new privacy feature for its email client. With this, eligible users will be able to send end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) emails to any user on any email inbox with a couple of steps. Notably, this is not being implemented from just Gmail’s side, but the emails are protected using encryption keys controlled by the user. These keys will not be available to Google servers to ensure privacy and security. The tech giant said that this new capability will require …

Gmail’s AI Update Resembles Mail for iOS 18

Gmail’s AI Update Resembles Mail for iOS 18

Published by Webster

Image: Google Google is integrating artificial intelligence into your Gmail inbox, whether you like it or not. As of Thursday, it is rolling out an AI-powered “smarter search” layout globally, which prioritises what it thinks you most want to see. When you input a search term, Gmail will no longer list the related emails in chronological order, from newest to oldest; instead, it will list the emails based on its own relevancy ranking, which takes into account recency but also the most-clicked emails and frequent contacts. “Most relevant” will be available for users with personal Google accounts accessing their inbox on the web and in the official Gmail app for Android and iOS. Business users will be granted access later on. You will still have the option to turn this “most relevant” feature off and show “most recent” instead by using the new dropdown menu just below the search bar. “With this update, the emails you’re looking for are far more likely to be at the top of your search results — saving you valuable …

New email tells federal employees to list recent accomplishments weekly

New email tells federal employees to list recent accomplishments weekly

Published by Webster

Federal workers started getting emails on Friday night, “asking them to provide a list of accomplishments from the week,” reports The New York Times. According to the outlet, the message told workers they’ll now be expected to provide such a list every Monday by 11:59PM ET. This time around, the Times writes that “employees who worked only on classified or sensitive activities were instructed to write ‘all of my activities are sensitive’ in response.” The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) reportedly sent the email to agencies that include the FBI, the General Services Administration, and the Departments of Defense, Justice, Labor, and Agriculture. In at least one other case, it was sent by an internal department address, according to The Associated Press. The Times notes that it’s not clear whether there are any consequences for those who don’t respond to the new email or future ones. After a similar email was sent to federal workers last week, Musk wrote on X, “Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation” — a detail that was …

Donald Trump and Elon Musk threaten to ‘semi-fire’ workers who don’t answer email

Published by Webster

We’re nearing the deadline that Elon Musk imposed for government workers to reply to a mass email about productivity, and the results have been predictably confusing — with even a direct statement from President Donald Trump failing to clear things up. Government agencies have taken significantly different tacks toward Musk’s email, which he announced to the public midday on February 22nd. Sent by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the message demanded all federal employees respond by the end of the 24th with “5 bullets of what you accomplished last week,” and Musk said on X that “failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.” The email reportedly didn’t include this noteworthy detail. But while some agencies have apparently ordered compliance, others have called the email optional or told employees to not respond. The Department of Justice, Administrative Office of the US Courts, and State Department all instructed staff to disregard the message and follow internal review processes instead, according to multiple news outlets. The Treasury Department, conversely, appears to have ordered Internal Revenue …

Patch Tuesday: Microsoft Patches Two Actively Exploited Zero-Day Flaws

The monthly report is relatively lightweight, with some mobile updates or fixes that have already been performed server-side and shouldn’t be a concern to admins, said Tyler Reguly, associate director of security R&D at global cybersecurity software and services provider Fortra. Another vulnerability impacts only Microsoft Surface hardware. February update patches two exploited vulnerabilities The two exploited vulnerabilities are: CVE-2025-21391, a Windows storage flaw that could let a threat actor delete files. CVE-2025-21418, an opening for privilege escalation beginning in Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock. “While both vulnerabilities are rated Important by Microsoft and have CVSS scores in the 7.x range, I would treat the Windows AFD for WinSock vulnerability as critical when it comes to patching, given that it has seen active exploitation,” Reguly said in an email to TechRepublic. Vulnerabilities have been found in the Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock nine times since 2022, including instances attributed to a North Korea-sponsored advanced persistent threat group, Tenable senior staff research engineer Satnam Narang pointed out in a comment to KrebsonSecurity. “The root …
