Re: All eggs in one basket
Microsoft is only the target because of its market share.  If you're going to write an exploit, you want it to have the greatest effect possible.  Also the larger the install base the more the curve of skills and patching.

Re: All eggs in one basket
TBH, I don't think it's much of a "Microsoft monoculture" anymore.  Apple has made SIGNIFICANT headway in the enterprise, as have other competitors.  More malware is targeted to Apple than ever before (partly because of those awful Java vulnerabilities), and Android is seeing more enterprise adoption -- and hack/malware targeting -- as well.

Anyway, I'm personally a Lotus fan.

That is what one gets from clinging to the Microsoft monoculture in the enterprise. If not everyone would run Exchange/Outlook/MS Office there would be less of a reason to target Microsoft products.

Thunderbird is safe
Time to take the free, safe, secure & feature-packed LibreOffice for a spin. Its truly multi-platform & takes just a few minutes to install.

Try it you have so much to gain: www.libreoffice.org/download

I think Thunderbird is safe as well.

Ugh.  Between this stuff and the NSA debacle, this makes me want to go back to smoke signals for communication.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
