China Hijacks Email Traffic

Posted: Nov 21, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

This week the hottest topic in the internet community was China´s supposed "hijack" of "15% of the world's Internet traffic" on 8 April 2010. According to various press reports China Telecom rerouted e-mails to and from the websites of the US Senate, the Department of Defense, and national space agency NASA for 18 minutes that day. Global China Times reports that allegedly, the rerouting originated from an Internet provider, IDC China Telecommunication, before being propagated by China Telecom.

Hence, web-traffic hijacking has become a reality. And mentioned reports emphasize the importance of secure email traffic and rock-solid encryption mechanisms to protect message flows, in particular of sensitive information. Opolis Secure Mail (www.opolis.eu) is already offering such protection, also in China, and for free.

Opolis was launched to provide an integrated high-security email and messaging service solution, and for free. Whilst functioning like email, various security and safety features and all encryption steps are embedded in a single service which operates from any host PC all over the world.

With Opolis, all messages and attached documents, such as text documents or photos, are in their entire chain sender-to-recipient encrypted. Emails and documents can therefore not be read or accessed by any unauthorized individual. In addition, before sending a message, the sender decides whether the recipient may copy, print, respond to or forward a message or not. Hence, information leaks can simply been prevented in that the sender forbids that a message may be printed, forwarded or copied. This feature also extends to all text and photo attachments.

The Opolis monitoring functions put the sender in a position that the sent message can be tracked in its further trail. Hence, if for example forwarding were allowed, then the sender will see when and to whom a message was forwarded and how it was further processed.

Opolis is for free and merely requires that both, the sender and the recipient are Opolis users. The registration process takes approximately 5 minutes.

    Cigar shops are many things to smokers. For those who can't smoke at home, these shops provide a place to enjoy a cigar. For those who simply want a better cigar than the ones available "over the counter" at mainstream stores, a cigar shop offers a great selection of high-quality cigars. Then there are those who are a mix of these demographics: people who enjoy smoking a well-made cigar in the company of fellow cigar smokers.

    There are many aspects to email marketing, but your copy is really the most important factor. You can't expect to see results if your copy isn't persuasive enough. It's easy to blast out a campaign to your email list, but what if they never open your email? What if they don't take action after reading it? It's up to you to write copy that's able to convert. It should not only be convincing, but also impressive. Any email marketing campaign must be based on copy that's able to do these things.
