email subscriptions

The "click to unsubscribe" button in emails may pose a security threat, as engaging with it can lead users to malicious websites. TK Keanini, CTO at DNSFilter, noted that about one in every 644 clicks on such links can direct users to phishing sites designed to steal sensitive information and introduce malware. Experts advise skepticism towards unsubscribe requests from untrusted senders and recommend using "list-unsubscribe headers" in email clients for safer management of subscriptions. Alternatives include using spam filters, blacklisting senders, and employing disposable email addresses for added protection. Additionally, having robust antivirus software is crucial for safeguarding against potential malware threats.
