Department of Defense Blocking HTML Email
Found on Slashdot on Saturday, 23 December 2006
The Department of Defense (DoD) has taken the step of blocking HTML-based email. They are also banning the use of Outlook Web Access email clients. The DoD is making this move because HTML messages can easily be infected with spyware and executable lines of code that enable hackers to access DoD networks, according to an article in Federal Computer Week by Bob Brewin .
Although it's a bit weird that DoD employees don't know how to deal with emails it still isn't a bad idea.
