nadiyar.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
I’m trying to replicate Google Workspace using Nextcloud, so naturally I need a business email provider that does just email. No extra collaboration features that overlaps with Nextcloud and increase the price.
Any thoughts?

Obviously I wasn't planning on going to the US anytime soon, but if I did... they might struggle with my visa application when I put every "email address I've used for the last 10 years" on, because I actively use a variety of catch-all domains/subdomains.
I've probably missed some addresses (e.g. to which I've only ever received spam that's since been deleted), but a conservative estimate of the number of personal email addresses which I've sent mail from or to would be... 7,669 email addresses. 🤣
Operation MoneyMount, ISO Deploying Phantom Stealer
A Russian phishing campaign targeting finance and accounting sectors uses fake payment confirmation emails to deliver Phantom stealer malware. The attack chain involves a ZIP file containing an ISO, which when mounted reveals an executable that loads the stealer. The malware employs anti-analysis techniques, extracts crypto wallets, browser data, and Discord tokens. It also includes keylogging and clipboard monitoring capabilities. The stolen data is exfiltrated via Telegram, Discord webhooks, or FTP. The operation showcases the increasing sophistication of commodity stealers and the strategic use of ISO files for initial access to evade security controls.

I'm looking for an email service provider.
Which is not Google, Microsoft and Proton Mail.
No storage space or office features is needed, only email (and transparency) is enough.
Also it would be amazing if they let me use my own domain, but that's not necessary
Edit: my choice: inbox.lv

UDPGangster Campaigns Target Multiple Countries
UDPGangster, a UDP-based backdoor associated with the MuddyWater threat group, has been observed targeting users in Turkey, Israel, and Azerbaijan. The malware is delivered through malicious Microsoft Word documents with embedded VBA macros, employing sophisticated anti-analysis techniques to evade detection. The campaigns use phishing emails impersonating government entities and include decoy images to distract victims. UDPGangster installs persistence, collects system information, and communicates with its command and control server using UDP. The malware supports various commands for remote execution, file extraction, and payload deployment. Analysis reveals connections to previous MuddyWater operations and shared infrastructure with other known malware.

Ich habe eine ca. 1 Jahr Mailbox.org Laufzeit zu verschenken (30€). Wer meiner Follower hat Bedarf?
Info: Preistabelle war irreführend; Familien-Accounts sind nicht inkludiert und Widerruf ist nicht möglich nach Zahlung.
Mailbox ist in keinster Weise kulant. Nur ein Umschreiben der Laufzeit wäre möglich. Das Geld wäre sonst "weg", da ich den Dienst nicht nutzen werde.

Operation FrostBeacon: Multi-Cluster Cobalt Strike Campaign Targets Russia
Operation FrostBeacon is a targeted malware campaign delivering Cobalt Strike beacons to companies in Russia. It uses two infection clusters: one leveraging malicious archive files with LNK shortcuts, and another exploiting CVE-2017-0199 and CVE-2017-11882 vulnerabilities. Both clusters lead to remote HTA execution and deployment of an obfuscated PowerShell loader that decrypts and runs Cobalt Strike shellcode in memory. The campaign targets finance and legal departments of B2B enterprises in logistics, industrial production, construction, and technical supply. It employs phishing emails with Russian-language lures related to contracts, payments, and legal matters. The infrastructure uses multiple Russian-controlled domains as command-and-control servers.

North Korea’s Contagious Interview Campaign Escalates: 338 Malicious npm Packages, 50,000 Downloads
The Contagious Interview operation continues to weaponize the npm registry with a repeatable playbook. Since our July 14, 2025 update, we have identified and analyzed more than 338 malicious packages with over 50,000 cumulative downloads.
25 of these packages remain live on the npm registry at the time of writing. We have submitted takedown requests to the npm security team and petitioned for suspension of the associated publisher accounts.
In this latest wave, North Korean threat actors used more than 180 fake personas tied to new npm aliases and registration emails, and ran over a dozen command and control (C2) endpoints (see IOCs). Their tooling has evolved from direct BeaverTail malware droppers to HexEval, XORIndex, and encrypted loaders. Each executes at install or import, reconstructs obfuscated BeaverTail in memory, then typically fetches the InvisibleFerret backdoor for persistence. New malicious packages appear weekly, including this week.
