| PassSec+ update available (17-04-2026) We have released a new update for PassSec+. Many modern websites are designed dynamically, which means that login fields are often only displayed or changed after the page has loaded or after a user clicks a button such as “Login” or “Continue”. We have improved PassSec+ to better recognize such dynamically added or updated fields. This helps the extension work more reliably on modern websites. In addition, the new version includes smaller technical improvements and is now available as version 3.4.1 via the Mozilla Add-ons website. Link: PassSec+ |
| Paper published on arXiv (10-04-2026) In a paper recently published on arXiv, Maxime Veit, Mattia Mossano, Tobias Länge, and Melanie Volkamer present a structured list of deception techniques used in emails. The paper describes how sender, link, and attachment information, as well as the email display environment, can be exploited for deceptive attacks. Building on an earlier systematic literature review, the publication expands the current state of research with new example implementations and newly identified deception techniques. It serves as a structured reference for future countermeasures in infrastructure, email client design, and awareness initiatives, and is aimed at researchers as well as developers, operators, and designers in these fields.
