Big foreign cyber attack targets Italian certified email accounts
- alanfranzoni 8y agoJust one note: it seems that everybody gets the "certified email" part wrong. Certified email DOES NOT guarantee the validity of the sender's identity. When you get a receipt for a certified email, you just get a legally valid confirmation that a message with content X was delivered to addressee Y on date Z. There's a public registry with company certified emails, so, actually the only certification is about the addressee's identity; but, in order to make a sender's identity trusted, you still need a separate digital signature.
