SANS top 20 vulnerabilities of 2007
Courtesy of Bruce Schneier’s Crypto-Gram, I got a link to the SANS top 20 vulnerabilities of 2007. Here’s some simple and practical tips for securing Thunderbird 2.x:
View - Message body as - Select “Plain text”
View - Unselect “Display attachments inline”
Tools - Options - Advanced - Config editor … - javascript.allow.mailnews - Set to “False”
Tools - Options - Advanced - Config editor … - javascript.enabled - Set to “False”
Tools - Options - Advanced - Config editor … - javascript.options.strict - Set to “True”
Tools - Options - Privacy - E-mail scams - Select “Tell me if the message I’m reading is a suspected email scam”
Tools - Options - Privacy - Anti-Virus - Select “Allow anti-virus clients to quarantine individual messages”
“Tools - Options” is for Windows; on my Ubuntu machine it is “Edit - Preferences”.
