The Pentagon is Now Disabling Links in Outside Emails
- Defense Systems, Tuesday, November 17, 2015 4:53 AM
The Pentagon has adopted a new policy in which it is disabling HTML links in emails that come from outside the .mil domain, in order to block outside threats and phishing scams. The new approach is being rolled out gradually but is already in place for most Defense Department users. Some of the email users receiving outside emails will see a subject-line warning that the email is coming from outside DOD. Users will have to cut and paste the URL into a browser if they want to access a link referenced in an email.
