A wonderful app is created by CloudMagic Inc. naming CloudMagic. It is an email application that lets us know information about the person who emailed us, his information will include his job title, workplace, location, homepage, and social profiles on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. This wonderful email application has till now aided 4 million users who receive a lot of email from people they don’t know. 

Its services is similar to services given by LinkedIn’s Rapportive or newly launched Connect from Clearbit for desktop email. Size of the app is 25 MB. It requires android version 4.0 and above.

Storing and managing so much details about individual is challenging task. Unlike the desktop Gmail add-ons, there’s no big sidebar area to take over with the added info. CloudMagic do not display all detail's of sender on the screen of original message instead CloudMagic displays a more “subtle” heads up, the company explains. 

Whenever you receive an email from some unknown, it provides a link "Know More" by clicking on it you can know about person and small summary about the person is provided just below the email message. In addition, sender's profile can be access any time just by clicking sender's profile picture from inbox.

Rapportive do not show details about person's company. This shortcoming of Rapportive is overcome by CloudMagic. Pop card with sender’s information can be flip over to know about sender's company. That will display company description, employee headcount, website link, and links to the company on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and AngelList, if applicable.

Sender Profile is definitely a great upgrade to have, but it’s not a free one Sender Profile is only available as an in-app purchase for $24.99 per year. That’s a sizable enough price point to potentially slow adoption among more casual users. However, for those who live in an inbox filled with emails from unknowns, it’s a worthy upgrade.

Your Email account may be in danger as security experts had confirmed that credential (user names and passwords) of millions of email account are being traded in Russia's criminal underworld.

It is confirmed by them that out of 272.3 million stolen account details include majority of users of Mail.ru (popular mail service of Russia) and smaller fractions of Google (24 millions), Yahoo (40 millions) and Microsoft email users (33 millions), said Alex Holden, founder and chief information security officer of Hold Security.

This security breach came in notice after Hold Security researchers found a young Russian hacker bragging in an online forum that he had collected and was ready to give away a far larger number of stolen credentials that ended up totalling 1.17 billion records.

After eliminating duplicates, Holden said, 57 million Mail.ru accounts and around tens of millions of three big email providers accounts- Gmail, Microsoft and Yahoo, plus hundreds of thousands of accounts at German and Chinese email are in danger .

"This information is potent. It is floating around in the underground and this person has shown he's willing to give the data away to people who are nice to him," said Holden, the former chief security officer at U.S. brokerage R.W. Baird. "These credentials can be abused multiple times," he said.

Hackers know users cling to favourite passwords, resisting admonitions to change credentials regularly and make them more complex. It's why attackers reuse old passwords found on one account to try to break into other accounts of the same user.

After being informed of the potential breach of email credentials, Mail.ru said in a statement "We are now checking, whether any combinations of usernames/passwords match users' e-mails and are still active."

A Microsoft spokesman said stolen online credentials was an unfortunate reality. "Microsoft has security measures in place to detect account compromise and requires additional information to verify the account owner and help them regain sole access."

Yahoo and Google did not respond about this data breach.

 

Google killed Gmail Mic-Drop joke and has apologised for it. An additional "Send" was added to the interface that exchanged a minion gif with thread's participants. It also muted the chain forbidding the user to access follow up mails.

Google says the feature should not have been placed near much-used Gmail buttons like "Send" and "Send & Archive." The company also admits to having failed at building safeguards, such as asking Gmail users to turn the feature on and confirming it was active before sending a mic drop message. 

 

Lastly, Google came clean about a bug that would include the minion GIF even without pressing the mic drop option. If a user accidentally clicked the joke button within a new compose message with no recipients, the GIF would still attach itself to that message after recipients were added and the standard send button was clicked.


"Again, sorry. We love April Fools jokes at Google, and we regret that this joke missed the mark and disappointed you," the company wrote in conclusion. As they say, it's all fun and games until someone sends a minion GIF to their boss and loses their job, as one professional mentioned it on a forum.
