Key figures include TK Keanini, CTO of DNSFilter, who quantified the phishing rate in recent WSJ interviews, alongside experts like Michael Bargury of Zenity; no specific companies beyond spammers or impersonators (e.g., fake bank sites) are targeted, though legitimate ones like Netflix or Chase are deemed safer[INPUT][1][2]. Email providers such as Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook, and Yahoo offer built-in blocking or list-unsubscribe headers as alternatives[INPUT][1].
This advice stems from ongoing phishing tactics exploiting email breaches and data sales, with heightened visibility from DNSFilter's new report amid rising spam volumes; it's newsworthy now due to the report's fresh statistics and WSJ amplification, urging blocks, spam filters, aliases (e.g., Apple's Hide My Email, Proton's SimpleLogin), over risky clicks[INPUT][1][2][3].
