2 minHow to Boost Your Email Security with Rotate

Why Email Security Matters
Attackers target email because it’s a direct line to sensitive data. A compromised email account can lead to:

The Email Add-On is a tool designed for Gmail and Outlook that helps you identify and manage malicious emails, including spam, phishing attempts, and malware. It enhances your email security by reporting suspicious emails and managing your personal spam list.
Why are mail rules a security risk?
Mail rules can be exploited to exfiltrate data, hide security alerts, or modify incoming messages. Attackers often use forwarding rules to silently send emails to external accounts or create rules that auto-delete security notifications, making it harder to detect compromises.
