What Happens to Your Email During an Outage?
It’s Monday morning. Your inbox is unusually quiet. You open your browser—Outlook is down. Gmail? Frozen. Panic mode begins.
Enter Inbox by ExchangeDefender: your seamless, always-on backup email solution designed to just work when your primary provider doesn’t.
Never Miss an Email—Even During Outages
Email outages aren’t just annoying—they can be devastating for business. Whether it’s Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or any other email provider, downtime happens. What matters is how quickly you bounce back.
Inbox automatically activates when your main email goes offline. No downloads. No IT tickets. No setup. Just log in and keep communicating with your clients, vendors, and team like nothing ever happened.
Real-Time Archiving + Instant Access
Inbox isn’t just a “break glass in case of emergency” tool—it’s your live email archive. Every incoming and outgoing message is captured before it hits your mailbox. That means:
- Access to every message, even if Outlook never delivered it
- Searchable archives by date, sender, subject, or keyword
- Full message read/reply/forward functionality built in
It’s not just backup. It’s better-than-backup.

How to Protect Sensitive Data in Your Emails
Because “Oops” isn’t a great security plan.
Let’s be honest—email is kind of the backbone of your business. It’s where deals get made, contracts are sent, invoices fly back and forth, and sometimes, if we’re being real, it’s where you accidentally email your lunch order to the entire company.
But here’s the thing: your inbox is also a treasure trove of sensitive information. We’re talking payment details, client data, logins, internal documents—the kind of stuff cybercriminals dream about at night.
And yet, most of us treat email like it’s just another casual chat box.
So, what’s the risk?
Imagine sending a postcard with your bank account number written on it. That’s kind of what emailing sensitive info without protection is like. Most email travels unencrypted, which means anyone snooping along the way can read it. That includes hackers, scammers, and even that one weird guy on public Wi-Fi at the coffee shop.
Phishing scams are getting slicker, malware is getting smarter, and businesses—especially small ones—are being targeted more than ever. The result? Breaches, downtime, lost money, and a lot of “We probably should’ve encrypted that” conversations.
But protecting your email doesn’t have to be hard.
Seriously. You don’t need a cybersecurity degree or a 20-person IT department. You just need the right tool—and that’s where ExchangeDefender Email Encryption comes in.
It’s designed to make secure emailing feel… well, normal. No hoops, no complicated setup. Just a simple way to keep your messages private, even if they’re packed with sensitive info.
With ExchangeDefender, you can send encrypted messages right from your browser, protect them with a password if you want, and even set expiration dates—so your email isn’t just floating around forever. You also get full visibility: when your message is opened, by who, and where. (Which makes you look really smart during audits, by the way.)
Plus, it plays nice with compliance rules like HIPAA and GDPR, which is a big win if you’re in healthcare, finance, or just… trying not to get fined.
Here’s the bottom line:
If you’re using email to run your business, you need to protect what’s inside. Email encryption is one of the easiest, most impactful things you can do—and ExchangeDefender makes it painless.
So next time you’re about to hit “send” on something important, ask yourself:
What would it cost me if this fell into the wrong hands?
Then go encrypt it. We’ll help.
Don’t Take the Bait: Xfinity Phishing Emails on the Rise
Phishing emails targeting Xfinity (Comcast) customers are flooding inboxes again—and this wave is particularly deceptive. Disguised as legitimate communications from Xfinity, these emails are designed to create panic and trick users into compromising their security.
What’s Happening
Cybercriminals are sending emails that appear to be from Xfinity, warning users about urgent account issues. Common themes include service interruptions, billing errors, or suspicious activity. The emails often ask recipients to “secure their account” or update personal information, directing them to fake login pages that harvest credentials.
Many of these messages are styled with official-looking Xfinity branding, and even the sender email address can appear authentic at a glance. Some victims have reported receiving fake invoices or confirmations for charges they never made—creating just enough concern to drive a click.

Why It’s a Problem
Once you click on these links or share information, the consequences can be serious. Scammers may gain access to your Xfinity account, personal data, or even your entire device. This type of phishing can lead to identity theft, financial loss, or malware infections—especially if users unknowingly download files or enable remote access.
Even savvy users can fall for these tricks, which is why prevention and education are key.
