A new study from email security company Mimecast shows that malicious links in emails are being missed by many security systems.

The report also finds an 80 percent increase impersonation attacks in comparison to last quarters' figures. Additionally, 19,086,877 pieces of spam, 13,176 emails containing dangerous file types, and 15,656 malware attachments were all missed by these incumbent security providers and delivered to users' inboxes.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
